Single sign-on security for enterprise-wide systems ICL has released AccessManager 4, a single sign-on security product to provide support for IBM Pass Tickets. It increases the security of MVS legacy systems without the need to invest in costly and proprietary network security devices. The product cuts multiple log-ons to one, reducing the risks of users error and increasing security. It controls access to a wide
range of local and distributed applications and networked services on mainframes or departmental servers. The single sign-on access removes the need to remember multiple passwords and complicated log-on procedures for each new application. The desktop is tailored to the individual, with a menu giving access to the appropriate applications for that person’s role. This makes accessing applications across a network of complex legacy systems both easy to use and increases productivity by simplifying password and log-on routines. Users can log on from any PC and still see the desktop which applies to them. Control over access and user desktops is centralized and remote so that new applications can be offered to appropriate personnel. Alarms alert the system administrator to illegal access attempts which are audited for greater system security. The product organization’s information
