Service Gateway – SSO For Your Business Portal
When you use SSO, you need a Login Page that works with your business model. You also need an application that is simple for you to access when you need it. This usually means that you need an application which can be customized and built around your business model and SSO. Service Gateway has these 2 things.
When you use SSO, then it’s very important to get a login page that works as you expect. If you’re using the service portal real estate to automatically redirect users to their primary Identity Provider, Service Gateway will automatically redirect them to that Identity Provider. However, if you have several Identity Providers, Service Gateway displays a link on your login page to’Use external login’.
The main reason I mention this link is because Service Gateway provides this link so that if your customers enter their login information in the portal they can simply click on this link. It will then send them to their main Identity Provider. This saves them having to go through the long process of getting their login info manually to the portal. Service Gateway’s answer for this issue is to redirect the clients for their outside provider.
The upcoming great feature of Service Gateway is its ability to handle your password storage. Since your service is all about security and identity then it should be simple to manage your password. Service Gateway uses its inbuilt password management application. If your password becomes compromised it will be flashed and you’ll have a secure password again.
A number of the password management applications offered by Service Gateway include the ability to configure your own password as you want, you may also set the password for your user login and then place the password for that user login. If your password becomes compromised and an individual accesses your Service Gateway website using their login data that password will be instantly reset.
Each of these attributes make Service Gateway very easy to use and configure. There are a whole lot of different features but those mentioned here are what I believe are the very best.
The downside to this system is that as long as you have a username and password set up then your site will have the ability to be accessed using your username and password. There are a couple different options like allowing people to gain access to your site with an IP address or even allowing them to sign in using a social security number.
A number of the other sites like to charge you some type of subscription fee when you get access to their service gateways. You really need to do a little bit of study on your own to learn which ones are worth your while. Most of them are a very low cost and cheap for most companies.
I would also advise checking the reviews on these websites to learn what others think about the services. I personally don’t use some of the paid ones since they all seem quite similar.
