Features
Federation
Federation is the foundation in the SAML standard. By creating a federation between a Cloud service and the companies local user store all authorizations are made locally at the company and the Cloud service will trust authorized users from the local user store. This will keep security on a high level and no password will be stored outside the company.
User Provisioning
In order to use Cloud services, user accounts, groups, distribution lists must be created and managed in each Cloud application. With Opacus User Provisioning administration is managed from only one user store and synchronization of users, groups, etc. from the user store to the Cloud service is automatic.
Secure Login
Security is one of the most important aspects when storing corporate data in Cloud applications. With Secure login it is easy to raise the security level of data stored in the Cloud with two-factor authentication.
Single Sign-on
Single Sign-on is enabling users to automatically sign on to Cloud applications as if they where local applications. Just login to your local computer and Opacus will handle the sign on to the Cloud application. Combine Single Sign-on with Secure login to add extra security for users from outside your company and simplify secured access for users within your company.
