Shared Workstation using Proximity Badges

For organizations looking for fast and convenient access to shared workstations, ActivIdentity® offers solutions which enable single sign-on (SSO) authentication using a proximity badge (and a password), and fast session switching. Many organizations need very fast access to a workstation and its applications, and seek to minimize time spent by end-users entering login username and passwords.

Using a proximity badge, users simply walk up to the workstation and it will automatically recognize the user. Simply typing in a PIN or a password unlocks the workstation and enable loading the user’s SSO. ActivIdentity SecureLogin™ Kiosk provides fast switching between users, enabling single sign-on access to applications without further prompts for passwords. When done, users simply walk away from the workstation to lock the system and make it available for other users.

Feature and Benefits

Dramatically reduces password problems: Users can access their applications without the hassle of multiple password prompts. Password changes are done automatically. No more lost or forgotten passwords, which results in less downtime and lower help desk costs.
Enhances security: Keep shared workstations locked and safe from unauthorized use. With SecureLogin Kiosk, the workstation automatically locks when the proximity badge is out of range of the workstation.
Accelerates access: With SecureLogin SSO and SecureLogin Kiosk, users can log in, get work done, and log off quickly. The workstation automatically closes the user’s applications if another user logs in afterwards.
Increases user satisfaction: Users appreciate the speed and convenience of kiosk and SSO functionality on their shared workstations. In fact, user satisfaction is the leading reason for the deployment of SSO (HIMSS Analytics Survey, June 2006).
