SSO - single sign-on (v-GO Single Sign-On An identification system that lets users log into multiple Web sites on the Internet with one username and password.

([R])), which automatically and securely signs the user into any number of Windows, mainframe or Web applications after a single network logon without additional identification and authentication processes.

It also facilitates access reporting for regulatory compliance purposes. The v-GO Sign-On Platform also includes five add-on products that extend v-GO's single sign-on capabilities to any form of strong authentication and to kiosk environments; enable all identity provisioning systems to automatically inject user credentials into v-GO SSO; permit self-service reset of forgotten Windows passwords; and centralize management of strong authentication devices. Enterprises frequently deploy v-GO solutions before implementing identity management or two-factor authentication The use of two independent mechanisms for authentication; for example, requiring a smart card and a password. The combination is less likely to allow abuse than either component alone.
