Single Sign On - Using SIMS ID

Why use SIMS ID SSO

SIMS ID can provide federated authentication services to your product providing a single sign-on (SSO) experience to joint customers, allowing them to use their familiar username and password to access your product and seamlessly switch between SIMS Online Products and your product. Removing the barrier to access, and reducing administration overhead associated with the adoption of a new service with its accompanying usernames and passwords.

Is this Authentication or Authorisation?

SIMS ID is only responsible for Authentication. Your application is responsible for Authorisation. However, as part of the authentication token SIMS ID can assert a number of attributes for the user, ranging from simply the site(s) they are associated with through to the more complex person and relationship data.  This data can help you make an informed Authorisation decision or route the user post-authorisation to appropriate access pathways.

A Standards based apporach.

Using OAUTH 2.0 and SAML 2.0 authentication integration is achieved using recognised standards and protocols.
