Configuring SSO Authentication
Authentication process consists in verifying that a person corresponds to his or her declared identity. In IT networks, authentication is usually based on a connection name and a password.
By default, in Hopex (Web Front-End) authentication is managed by Hopex Unified Authentication Service (UAS).
*See Installation and Deployment > Hopex Unified Authentication Service documentation.
Unique authentication, known as Single Sign On (SSO) or Unified Login, is a software solution that enables company network users to access all authorized resources in total transparency, on the basis of unique authentication at initial network access.
In this way, a single password enables access to all company applications and systems.
This solution offers several advantages, including:
• greater security
The user no longer has to remember several connection procedures, identifiers or passwords.
• improved administrator productivity
Hopex integrates into enterprise directories, which reduces administrator workload regarding password management.
