Traditionally and historically, the facilitation of SSO
authentication has been using policy agents deployed
on application servers or by implementing federation
among them.
• One agent per server, per platform, per version etc.
• Butterfly effect.
• Custom solutions.
• Spill over responsibilities.
• Always trailing on security patching.

Single Sign On facilitation with Gateway approach.
Centralized policy enforcement into a pass-through
Gateway layer, thus de-coupling application
infrastructure and implementation from authentication
and policy enforcement.
• Any server, any platform, any version etc.
• On-demand seamless and transparent scalability.
• Quick turn around solutions.
• Single layer enforcement.
• Zero touch security patching.
• Uniformity across standards.
Present and Future.
