Lightmix is a website and graphic design company based in Washington DC that offers web design, development,
user interface, marketing, and branding services. Lightmix has been in business for 14 years and with clientele

While working with one of their client's requirements, Lightmix encountered a problem with their web
applications. The client had multiple web application that required a different sign-on. This created too much
confusion and ultimately a productivity loss. Lightmix wanted to rectify the situation by implementing a Single
Sign-On mechanism using ADFS (Active Directory Federation Services). Unfortunately, Lightmix did not have the
technical expertise to deploy and implement web SSO. They were in need of an IT partner capable of advanced
technicalassistancetoservetheclient.
Lightmix sought the assistance of AllianceTek, a leading IT solutions and software development company able to
provide end-to-end services and assistance. AllianceTek analyzed the situation and proposed a solution that
addressed the issues and concerns of all parties involved. Though AllianceTek had implemented single-sign on in
the past, this scenario was unique as it was using single sign-on with multiple web applications using the same
Trusted Identity Token Issuer. AllianceTek overcame this issue by implementing claims-based identity and access
control so a user could be authenticated between two web applications. The solution consisted of implementing
singlesign-onwithSAML(SecurityAssertionMarkupLanguage).
Lightmix received training from AllianceTek to implement the SSO on SharePoint ADFS with SAML on the end
client's system. Throughout deployment, they received the support of AllianceTek consultants with detailed
explanations and step-by-step guidance on understanding the issue and implementing the solution. This allowed

As a result of working AllianceTek, Lightmix was able to fully serve their client's expectations by implementing the
SSO system and providing valuable training and consulting. This improved the end users' experience by allowing
