Looking for a single sign on solution (SSO) for Cloud applications

Hi,

We are using a bunch of cloud applications and our users are facing some issues to navigate between the various apps due to the lack of a global single sign on solution (some apps use OpenID, other legacy user/password etc,..) We also own a small Active Directory managing our emails accounts. Ideally we would like to use this as the main repository to provision the cloud apps

What are the solutions you would recommend to provide such SSO capabilities? How complex are they to deploy ?

One of our partners (Safenet) provides a solution for SSO to cloud based applications. If you are in the UK, then please do feel free to contact me. Otherwise, I would suggest that you contact one of their regional offices.

The cloud applications need to support SAML to provide single sign-on. If they do then you set up the SSO Server on your premises (requires some consultancy) after which it should in theory be a fairly straightforward process for your users at least.

You will see a link to the relevant Safenet overview page below.
