SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--RSA Conference: Passlogix®, Inc., today announced the release of Version 7.0 of the Passlogix v-GO® Access Accelerator Suite, an integrated set of single sign-on, authentication and provisioning solutions that includes the market’s leading enterprise single sign-on (ESSO) solution. More than 50 enhancements spanning all components of the suite streamline use by both end users and administrators, including enabling faster password changes, the industry’s fastest sign-on to shared workstations, easier system management via a new end user interface, and faster access to telnet-based administrative accounts.

Major feature upgrades in v-GO 7.0 include:

• A new easier-to-use v-GO® Single Sign-On™ client for end users that consolidates and simplifies separate interfaces previously used for configuring various aspects of the ESSO solution, including account property pages, sign-on response, user authentication and other system settings.
• A streamlined password change process that can automatically detect whether a password change was accepted or rejected by the application, eliminating manual validation by the end user.
• Enhanced access to Web accounts through two new features. Users can now add selected Web accounts on their own without the need for an administrator to create a template, increasing credential management efficiencies for end users. v-GO SSO 7.0 also has improved support for dynamic web pages that contain AJAX, ensuring that credentials are provided to the web page only when the proper username and password fields are available. This avoids inadvertently injecting credentials into unmasked fields that could expose the password, as often happens with solutions that rely on scripts and timers.
• Industry-first multi-session capability for kiosks and shared workstations that reduces user logon time to a little over a second by enabling multiple user sessions to be initiated and managed simultaneously. This innovative new feature in v-GO® Session Manager™ - used to automate user sign-on and sign-off of kiosks at sites such as hospitals - eliminates time wasted in shutting down unattended sessions and thereby requiring users to repeatedly restart the same applications and navigate to the proper screen every time they logon to a kiosk.
• Easier single sign-on and password changes for administrative accounts through the addition of native support for the PuTTY interface, which is commonly used for telnet sessions. The upgrade is particularly useful for users of v-GO® Shared Accounts Manager,™ a solution that securely manages shared account IDs (such as those used by system administrators for privileged accounts) within the same infrastructure used to manage conventional single-user passwords.
• Updated application support for Mozilla Firefox 3.0, Siemens DirX Directory v8, IBM Lotus Notes 8.0 and many mainframe emulators (Newhart Systems BLUES 2000, Jolly Giant QWS3270 PLUS v4.4 and IBM WebSphere Host On-Demand v10.0.03).

The v-GO Access Accelerator Suite eliminates everyday challenges in sign-on, authentication and provisioning to improve business productivity, strengthen enterprise security and regulatory compliance readiness, and streamline identity management deployments.

v-GO Single Sign-On, the cornerstone of the suite, enables users to access any Windows, mainframe or Web application with a single Windows logon rather than remembering, managing and inputting different passwords for each account. v-GO is also the only ESSO platform that extends single sign-on beyond the enterprise to remote, mobile and temporary users, including home computers, physicians’ offices that require access to hospital networks, and third-party partners or contractors.

In addition to the previously mentioned v-GO Session Manager and v-GO Shared Accounts Manager, other suite components include solutions that enable strong authentication to applications, desktops and networks without expensive custom integration; pre-load user IDs and passwords to the v-GO repository for easy provisioning; and automate resets of Windows logon passwords.

The platform scales to tens of thousands of users, has been widely deployed around the world, enables wizard-based integration that eliminates the need to write scripts or connectors even to homegrown or legacy applications, and installs on existing servers without adding dedicated or proprietary hardware. These features lower the total cost of ownership and allow organizations to receive rapid payback on their investment.

v-GO 7.0 is available immediately through Passlogix and its global partner network.
