Can’t Sleep?
What are some of the things youp think about when you can’t sleep? After successfully negotiating my 3 year old daughter back to sleep at some ungodly hour, my brain started turning. A tiny drop of adrenaline later and I was back to a question that I asked a few of my colleagues earlier in the day.
What is another way to describe federated id’s? One engineer explained it as the solvent for authentication. Another colleague simply put, it’s single sign-on to SaaS applications. And yet another described it is a trusted handshake (SAML, OpenID, OAUTH) between federated resources. So how does SecureAuth play a role in this concept?

Image #1 – SecureAuth takes the “Scary” out of Federation.
SecureAuth’s STS (secure token service) is a mechanism that parties agree on to pass identities between a resource (android, iPhone, Windows, Mac, Linux) and the intended end point (Salesforce, Google, Concur, SuccessFactors). SecureAuth provides a single sign-on via SAML, AND it also ensures higher security in the form of 2-factor authentication. So if you can’t sleep and worry about a security breach, utilize SecureAuth’s identity enforcement platform, and toss those sleeping pills.
