Evidian Enterprise SSO
Enterprise SSO automates application logins by storing and entering passwords on the user’s behalf, with centrally defined password policies and auditing. It’s agent-based (Windows client; works in Citrix/virtual desktop environments) and can extend to macOS and mobile usage scenarios. For browser-based federation and API protection, Evidian positions Web Access Manager (reverse-proxy SSO, IdP/SP for SAML, OIDC, OAuth).
Key Capabilities
-
Password automation & policy control: Automatically enters application passwords and rotates them per policy, reducing help-desk resets and lockouts.
-
Covers legacy & thick clients: Works without modifying apps, including Windows, web, terminal emulators, and VDI (Citrix-ready/XenApp/XenDesktop).
-
Shared accounts & delegation: Enables named, audited use of generic accounts and user-to-user access delegation via a web portal.
-
Self-service & continuity: Built-in self-service password reset/unlock (incl. offline flows) and reporting/dashboards for compliance.
Limitations
-
Not a SAML/OIDC IdP: Enterprise SSO is credential vaulting/desktop SSO. Federation to cloud apps and API protection are provided by Web Access Manager / IDaaS. It does not itself issue SAML/OIDC/OAuth tokens.
-
Endpoint footprint: Requires deploying and maintaining the Enterprise SSO client on Windows endpoints (and associated components for VDI).
-
Password-based model: Benefits hinge on password capture/replay; to modernize app auth, customers typically pair with WAM (federation) or refactor apps to standards-based SSO.
-
Feature split across portfolio: MFA, passwordless, and federation capabilities are positioned in adjacent Evidian/Eviden products (Authentication Manager, Web Access Manager/IDaaS).
