CA Simplifies IT Administration with New Single Sign-on Application Wizard.Unique Combination of Wizard and Tcl Scripting Enables Customers to Address Full Range of Enterprise IAM IAM - Interactive Algebraic Manipulation. Interactive symbolic mathematics for PDP-10. ["IAM, A System for Interactive Algebraic Manipulation", C. Christensen et al, Proc Second Symp Symb Alg Manip, ACM Mar 1971]. Requirements ISLANDIA, N.Y. -- CA, Inc. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange : CA) today announced the availability of a new Application Wizard for CA Single Sign-On An identification system that lets users log into multiple Web sites on the Internet with one username and password. Single sign-on systems are also used within an enterprise, enabling users to access all authorized resources in the local network using the same username and password. (SSO See single sign-on and CSO. SSO - single sign-on ), a key component of its popular Identity & Access Management (IAM) solution. The Application Wizard makes it even easier for IT administrators to automate single sign-on so that end users can quickly take advantage of fast, convenient access to their applications. Single sign-on saves time, improves security and reduces help-desk calls by providing access to multiple applications through a single authentication (1) Verifying the integrity of a transmitted message. See message integrity, e-mail authentication and MAC. (2) Verifying the identity of a user logging into a network. . The Application Wizard complements the existing Tcl scripting language A high-level programming, or command, language that is interpreted (translated on the fly) rather than compiled ahead of time. A scripting, or script, language may be a general-purpose programming language or it may be limited to specific functions used to augment the running of an in CA Single Sign-On, which empowers IT administrators to SSO-enable applications with even the most complex, multi-stage logins. This combination of wizard- and script-based SSO-enablement makes CA's IAM solution uniquely suitable for implementing single sign-on in today's highly diverse enterprise environments. The Missouri Department of Conservation, a state agency responsible for protecting Missouri's fish, forest and wildlife resources, implemented single sign-on to improve application access for its local and remote staff. By using CA Single Sign-On, the agency has been able to quickly automate single sign-on for applications with distinct login Signing in and gaining access to a network server, Web server or other computer system. The process (the noun) is a "login" or "logon," while the act of doing it (the verb) is to "log in" or to "log on. processes, including time reporting, human resources The fancy word for "people." The human resources department within an organization, years ago known as the "personnel department," manages the administrative aspects of the employees. and accounting across multiple platforms Refers to two or more operating environments, which typically include the CPU family and operating system. For example, if versions of a program run on Windows and the Macintosh, the software is said to support multiple platforms. and environments. "CA Single Sign-On gives us the best of both worlds: an easy-to-use Application Wizard for most applications and fully customizable scripting for our more complex applications," said Ron Kimball, IT specialist at Missouri Department of Conservation. "This combination allows us to make SSO truly universal, while bringing a new level of efficiency to our IT operations." This latest enhancement further extends the capabilities of CA's IAM solution, which automates the management of user identities throughout their life cycle to ensure that only properly authorized users can access critical IT resources. "Customers want to be able to realize the benefits of their IT investments quickly--but they don't want to gain fast time-to-benefit at the expense of long-term value and robust functionality," said Sam Curry, vice president of security management at CA. "With this latest enhancement to our IAM solution, CA is once again demonstrating our ability to fulfill both our customers' near- and long-term business objectives."
