Service Gateway – SSO For The Business Portal
When you use SSO, then you need a Login Page
that works with your organization model. In addition, you need an application which is easy for you to access if you want it. This usually means that you want an application that can be customized and built around your business model and SSO. Service Gateway has these two things.
When you use SSO, it is quite important to have a login page that functions as you expect. If you are using the service portal property to automatically redirect users for their main Identity Provider, Service Gateway will automatically redirect them to that Identity Provider. However, when you have multiple 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 when your clients enter their login information in the portal they can just click this hyperlink. It is going to subsequently send them to their main Identity Provider. This saves them having to go through the lengthy process of getting their login information manually to the portal. Service Gateway’s solution for this problem is to redirect the customers to their outside provider.
The next great quality of Service Gateway is its capacity to manage your password storage. Ever since your service is about security and identity then it should be simple to manage your password. Service Gateway uses its inbuilt password management tool. If your password becomes compromised it will be automatically reset and you will have a safe password again.
Some of the password management applications offered by Service Gateway include the capability to configure your own password as you wish, you can even set the password to your user login and then place the password for that user login. If your password becomes compromised and a user gets your Service Gateway site using their login data that password will be instantly reset.
All of these attributes make Service Gateway very simple to use and configure. There are a whole lot of other attributes but those mentioned here are what I feel are the very best.
The drawback to the system is that so long as you get a password and username set up then your website will have the ability to be accessed using your own username and password. There are a couple different options such as allowing people to gain access to your website using an IP address or perhaps letting them sign in using a social security number.
A number of the other websites like to bill you some kind of subscription fee once you get access to their support gateways. You truly need to do a little bit of study on your own to find out which ones are worth your while. The majority of them are a very low cost and affordable for all businesses.
I would also recommend checking the reviews on these sites to see what others consider the services. I personally do not use any of the paid ones because they all seem very similar.
