What is the Enterprise Single sign-on functionality?
The NextBio Single Sign-on (SSO) solution uses a simple scheme of auto-registration and authentication of users from a trusted source, using specific HTTP headers or URL parameters in end-user requests. Through the NextBio single sign-on process, an existing user is transparently logged into the NextBio application. For a new user, NextBio creates a new account in the background and logs in the user without asking for a password. NextBio provides two solutions for integrating single sign-on (SSO) for an enterprise. The first solution is a proxy-based solution. In this solution, all user requests from the enterprise are directed to NextBio through a trusted proxy, which provides authentication credentials to NextBio for the user. The second solution is a portal-based solution. With this solution a user logs into an internal portal within the enterprise and to access NextBio. The trusted portal passes authentication tokens for a user to NextBio.
