Service Gateway – SSO For Your Enterprise Portal

When you use SSO, you need a Login Page which works with your business model. You also require an application that is simple for you to access if you need it. This usually means that you need an application which may be customized and built around your business design and SSO. Service Gateway has these two things.

When you use SSO, then it’s very important to have a login page which 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 multiple Identity Providers, Service Gateway shows a link on your login page to’Use external login’.

The main reason why I mention this link is since Service Gateway provides this connection so that if your customers enter their login information in the portal they can just click on this hyperlink. It is going to subsequently send them to their primary Identity Provider. This saves them having to go through the long process of receiving their login information manually into the portal. Service Gateway’s solution to this issue is to redirect the customers for their external supplier.

The next great quality of Service Gateway is its ability to manage your password storage. Ever since your service is about identity and security then it should be simple to manage your password. Service Gateway utilizes its inbuilt password management application. If your password becomes compromised it will be automatically reset and you will have a safe password again.

Some of the password management applications provided by Service Gateway include the capability to configure your 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 along with a user accesses your Service Gateway website using their login info which password will be immediately reset.

All these attributes make Service Gateway quite simple to use and configure. There are a lot of different features but those mentioned here are what I believe are the very best.

The drawback to the system is that so long as you have a password and username setup then your site will have the ability to be accessed using your own username and password. There are a few other options like allowing people to gain access to your website with an IP address or perhaps allowing them to sign with a social security number.

A number of the other sites like to charge you some kind of subscription fee once you get access for their own support gateways. You truly need to do a little bit of study on your own to learn which ones are worth your while. Most of them really are a very low cost and cheap for most companies.

I would also advise checking the reviews on these sites to learn what others think about the services. I personally don’t utilize some of the paid ones since all of them seem very similar.
