Passlogix Transforms Single Sign-on Deployments with Industry´s First On-Demand ESSO Client



    Passlogix(R), Inc., today announced a breakthrough on-demand
    edition of its market-leading v-GO(R) Sign-On Platform(TM) that
    simplifies enterprise single sign-on (ESSO) deployments for both
    administrators and end users by enabling the client software to be
    accessed with a simple click on a link or pre-loaded on USB memory
    sticks. This industry-first software distribution strategy allows
    organizations to extend single sign-on to users with computers not
    managed by the enterprise, broadening ESSO´s reach to users previously
    unable to benefit from the technology´s password management
    capabilities.

    "Our new v-GO On Demand Edition will change the landscape for
    enterprise single sign-on by eliminating traditional client software
    distribution, thereby extending ESSO to non-network computers used to
    access corporate applications, and providing new flexibility in ESSO
    use overall," said Passlogix vice president of strategy and product
    management Stephane Fymat. "By removing the limitations of traditional
    software installation, we are enabling ESSO to be deployed and used on
    an anytime/anywhere basis for the first time."

    With the new On Demand Edition of v-GO Single Sign-On (v-GO SSO)
    and other modules in the v-GO suite, the v-GO client software can be
    downloaded and activated with a simple click on a link. This allows
    the v-GO client to be deployed without requiring administrators to set
    up installation packages or forcing end users to install software. It
    also enables software updates and rollbacks to be applied
    automatically and managed from a central location.

    v-GO SSO - On Demand Edition makes it possible to extend v-GO´s
    single sign-on capabilities to home computers, physicians´ offices
    that require access to hospital networks, and other remote PCs outside
    the enterprise, all without having to worry about the specific
    configurations of those systems.

    v-GO SSO can also now be installed on a USB stick, providing
    self-contained "plug-and-play ESSO" for any computer either online or
    offline. Users´ passwords can be stored on the USB stick and / or in
    an enterprise directory. This "SSO on a stick" capability makes ESSO
    available to users that move from machine to machine or require
    temporary application access.

    System administrators who use the On Demand editions of v-GO
    Single Sign-On and v-GO Provisioning Manager gain the additional
    benefit of being able to provision or deprovision a user with his or
    her corporate identity, application credentials and the ESSO software
    in a single provisioning action.

    The functionality of the On Demand Editions of v-GO SSO and other
    v-GO modules is identical to that of their installed counterparts. In
    the case of v-GO SSO, for example, both versions eliminate the need
    for end users to create, remember, manage and update multiple
    application passwords by automating the process of password entry. The
    system automatically and securely signs the user into any number of
    Windows, mainframe or Web applications after a single network logon
    without requiring the user to submit additional identification or
    authentication, eliminating user frustration as well as the
    administrative and security complications of managing multiple
    passwords.

    "The ability to dynamically obtain the credentials needed to
    authenticate access to an IT system or business application is
    essential for today´s mobile workforce. The typical worker today is
    not tethered to a single computer, and is often unable to remember all
    of the passwords needed to perform their job. An agentless approach
    that doesn´t require software installation is a clear advantage and
    much more convenient for the user," said Phil Schacter, VP and
    Research Director, Burton Group.

    The v-GO Sign-On Platform - On Demand Edition is scheduled for
    release in Q1 2008.

    Separately today, Passlogix unveiled v-GO Shared Accounts Manager
    (v-GO SAM), a major advance in privileged accounts management. This
    newest module in the v-GO suite enables credentials to be securely
    shared by multiple users such as system administrators who must access
    privileged accounts, workgroup members who must share a pool of
    generic accounts, and temporary workers or contractors who must be
    issued temporary generic accounts. For more information, see
