Problem
Your users have so many passwords; they’re storing them on sticky notes.
Typical corporate users are required to access many enterprise applications in order to do their jobs. It is estimated that they may have to remember up to 20 usernames and passwords. The result is increased burden on the helpdesk to do password resets, a network fraught with insecurity, and possibly even lack of compliance with regulations such as HIPAA and GLBA. Worst of all, is the mounting user frustration every time they forget their passwords.
Solution
Single Sign-On from Likewise Enterprise means only needing to remember one password.
Likewise Enterprise provides a cross-platform single sign-on solution for enterprise applications running on Linux and UNIX systems. By seamlessly integrating your non-Windows systems into Microsoft Active Directory, Likewise Enterprise allows enterprise applications that support Kerberos and LDAP to benefit from its authentication infrastructure. Just some of the applications supported are: Apache, JBoss, WebSphere, Tomcat, MySQL, Oracle, Samba, and SAP.
For administrators, this means you no longer have to manage users locally on each of your Linux and UNIX systems. Now, with Likewise Enterprise, you can provision users, maintain passwords and deprovision users using a single identity management system.
And users will benefit from a single username and password, regardless of whether they are using Microsoft Windows™ or non-Windows systems.
