Authentication

Authentication is designed to ensure that only authorized people can access the system via credentials provided at login. Authorization is the process by which users' access and actions are restricted within the system, based on their login details.

Single Sign On allows users to access multiple applications without the need for multiple passwords.

Single Sign On Using SAML

SAML is an identity federation standard language that enables SSO to access web applications with enhanced security. It limits potential risks by eliminating the need for extra web application passwords by establishing a trust between the ASM app and the Organization's Federated Identity system(s).
