ActivIdentity Solutions for Microsoft

Strong Authentication

For organizations seeking to prevent unauthorized access to information and IT resources, ActivIdentity Strong Authentication solutions for Microsoft enable proof of identity through multi-factor authentication with smart cards, USB tokens, one-time password tokens, soft tokens, biometrics, or a combination of those.

These solutions can be used to add two-factor security to a wide variety of Microsoft products for workstation and network access, wireless access, web access and remote access.

Secure Information and Transactions

For protecting confidentiality and integrity of sensitive data, communications and transactions, ActivIdentity offers solutions that increase the security of digital signature and encryption with Microsoft Office and Microsoft EFS* through multi-factor security with smart cards and USB tokens.

Enterprise Single Sign On

For organizations concerned with increasing regulatory pressure, rising security threats, and end-user frustration with passwords, ActivIdentity solutions provide secure and easy access to applications.

The ActivIdentity Enterprise Single Sign On solution extends Windows and Active Directory and enables single sign on to virtually any enterprise application (Web, Windows, Java, or Terminal Emulator).

When combined with ActivIdentity Strong Authentication, ActivIdentity Enterprise Single Sign On can leverage a smart card or USB token to store or encrypt the single sign on user names and passwords for additional security and privacy.

Device and Credential Management

For organizations seeking to deploy authentication factors such as smart cards, USB tokens, one-time password tokens, soft tokens, and biometrics, ActivIdentity offers solutions for complete lifecycle management of security devices and the credentials they hold.

For enterprises deploying exclusively Microsoft Certificate Services with smart cards or USB tokens, ActivIdentity solutions support Microsoft Identity Lifecycle Manager * while enabling usage of these devices on a variety of platforms including Windows as well as Linux, Solaris, Sun Ray and Mac OS*.

For organizations deploying exclusively onetime passwords (with tokens or smart cards), ActivIdentity solutions fully leverage Microsoft Active Directory as an identity repository, without any duplication or synchronization of user information.

For heterogeneous enterprise environments, ActivIdentity solutions support Microsoft Active Directory and Microsoft Certificate Services, as well as many other identity repositories, provisioning systems, credential providers and physical access control systems.
