IBM Tivoli Access Manager for Enterprise Single Sign-On can help organizations reduce costs, strengthen security, improve productivity and address compliance requirements by removing the frustration of multiple passwords and eliminating complex password management policies. Now users can enjoy fast access to all corporate applications, Web, desktop and legacy, and network resources with the use of a single, strong password on personal and shared workstations.

Tivoli Access Manager for Enterprise Single Sign-On increases user productivity and enables fast access to information by extending the ESSO functionality to provide workflow automation on shared and personal workstations. Users can automate the entire access workflow – application login, drive mapping, application launch, single sign-on, navigation to preferred screens, multi-step logins, and more.

The solution also delivers single sign-off across all applications and the ability to configure desktop protection policies to prevent unauthorized access to confidential corporate applications. If a user walks away from a workstation without logging out, Tivoli Access Manager for Enterprise Single Sign-On can be configured to enforce inactivity timeout policies such as configurable screen locks, application logout policies, graceful logoff, and more.
