Recognized worldwide as an industry-leading solution, the CA Single Sign-On solution helps accelerate application availability by offering a comprehensive range of options for managing access to applications, helps enhance security by providing a common policy access layer that reduces the possibility of access policy gaps and can reduce the cost of ownership by supporting traditional Web applications, identity federation standards and Web service standards all from a single, integrated high-performance platform.

CA Single Sign-On can provide your organization with five separate SSO architectures for your organization to use independently or mix and match to meet your various business needs. These five architectures include: agent-based policy enforcement points; centralized gateway enforcement points; support for today’s open standards including SAML, OAuth, OpenID and WS-Federation; an agent-less based approach to securely pass claims to applications without the use of proprietary APIs and REST; and SOAP-based Web APIs that allow applications to remotely call CA Single Sign-On as a Web service for authentication or authorization.

CA Single Sign-On can deliver your organization reliable, out-of-the-box support and special purpose agents for Web servers, ERP applications, J2EE platforms, collaboration environments, mobile devices and cloud-based applications. It also can provide your organization effective management of your users’ sessions above and beyond the SSO experience by providing coarse or fine-grained authorization, centralized auditing, timeout management and control over which applications use SSO and which ones require step-up authentication.
