SECUDE launches Secure Login version 5.0

The new version of SECUDE Secure Login – version 5.0 – is the only secure Single Sign-On (SSO) solution to support the entire SAP portfolio. Thanks to the scenario-based installation wizard, the new version can be implemented in a matter of minutes. What’s more, a new Web client has enabled the application for Linux and Mac OS X.

“Secure Login 5.0 considerably reduces the implementation time for SSO projects in the SAP environment,” says Heiner Kromer, CEO of SECUDE, which is headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland. “The modular structure of the solution enables companies to install secure SSO for SAP very quickly, and then extend the functions step-by-step – with no risk and minimum effort.”

With the new version 5.0 of Secure Login, SECUDE offers a solution to the problem of SSO software based on SAP logon tickets or Kerberos not being sufficiently secure. Such SSO software does not allow companies to use consistent methods for all SAP technologies. This makes it extremely difficult to react flexibly to new system requirements. For these reasons, many companies prefer open, standards-based solutions that enable them to remain independent from providers and thus operate more cost-efficiently.

The SSO solutions offered by SAP based on certificates meet extremely high security requirements, but are often very complex. This is where SECUDE Secure Login 5.0 comes into its own – by enabling companies to benefit from certificate technology simply and quickly. The product does not need a public-key infrastructure (PKI) and enables customers to use their existing infrastructure in an optimal manner. Tailored for use in SAP service-oriented architecture environments, SECUDE Secure Login version 5.0 guarantees smooth adaptation to changed company requirements
