Improve Usability

Single Sign-On (SSO) allows your users to access all your enterprise applications with one login.

Your users do not need to remember or write down numerous login credentials.

Boost Productivity

SSO simplifies the login process by not interrupting your users with login to each application.

What Makes Ceptor SSO Unique

SAML Web SSO

No matter how your users are authenticated, Ceptor can use SAML 1.1 or 2.0 to federate the user's identity to third parties. Provided claims can be customized and tailored to each federated party.

Ceptor can also act as a relying party, using SAML to accept authentication from other SAML Identity Providers.

Microsoft ADFS

You can setup Ceptor to use Microsoft ADFS as an identity provider, or you can federate identities from Ceptor to third-party ADFS relying parties.

Ceptor supports WS-Federation, WS-Trust, SAML 1.1, SAML 2.0 and OpenID Connect protocols when communicating with ADFS.

OpenID Connect / OAuth

Like with SAML, OpenID Connect can be used to federate users identity between systems. Ceptor can act as an OpenID Provider or as a resource server / relying party either federating identity to third parties, or accepting federation from other OpenID Connect providers.

Kerberos

Kerberos can be utilized for easy Single Sign-On in intranet environments. Ceptor supports Kerberos with optional NTLM fallback to enable zero-prompting Single Sign-On with workstations already authenticated on intranet domains. 

Session Sharing

Ceptor signs a user into a session no matter the authentication method used and can share that session with applications protected by Ceptor Gateway. Usage of the shared session allows for shared sign-on as well as shared sign-out.

Ceptor can be configured to hide individual application/server session cookies from the browser, ensuring only a single session is visible to the browser/client no matter how many separate applications are accessed. Furthermore, Ceptor can be configured to support cross-domain cookie sharing.

Multi-Factor Authentication

With Ceptor Gateway, you can combine different types of authentication, e.g. authenticate users using multi-factor authentication and then use Kerberos to authenticate to backend applications/servers that do not know how to handle multi-factor authentication.

Using multi-factor authentication, you can combine the ease of authentication using e.g. Kerberos with the additional security of step-up authentication by prompting for additional factors depending on your configured protection level.
