MUMBAI:Novell, a provider in IT services, today announced the availability of Novell SecureLogin 7, a enterprise single sign-on (SSO) solution.

The new solution reduces time required to SSO-enable the applications in an organization from weeks to days, allowing customers immediate advantages from improved productivity and operational efficiency, said a press release.

"Difficult-to-integrate applications add time to implementations, and products that require custom coding that's external to the ESSO product's native automation or scripting environment can add significant implementation time and costs. A few applications can't be integrated at all," said Gregg Kreizman, analyst, Gartner.

He added that more Java applications are making their way into enterprises, and some vendors' products have difficulty recognizing sign-on and password change prompts when the interface provides nothing but graphical content for the ESSO product to analyze.

Novell SecureLogin 7 operates seamlessly with Windows, Web, Java and enterprise applications. Thanks to a new wizard which automatically integrates many applications, customers and partners could realize the benefits of single sign-on much faster than with other offerings, the release added.
