During a session users typically interact with multiple back-end application and data resources. To simplify the user experience technologies like single-sign on and next generation federated identities mean that disparate application and data resources can appear to the user as one homogenous group. PortWise includes the following:

• Single Sign-On
  Access to resources without having to repeatedly re-authenticate themselves optimises the user experience. Sign in once to the PortWise Authentication Service, and it does the rest!

• Identity Federation
  A single digital identity can now be used to access multiple departments or even businesses without the need for extra and costly user enrolment. Ideal to share identities in business-to-business partnerships, or company/departmental merger scenarios.

• Standards-based
  By using the latest SAML 2.0 standard, the PortWise solution is compliant with any existing third-party identity federation deployments. SAML 2.0 allows polices to carry identity information, such as authentication status and authorization decisions.
