(1888PressRelease) September 05, 2008 - Zurich, Switzerland – SECUDE releases version 5.0 of SECUDE Secure Login, the only secure SSO solution for SAP that is supported across the entire SAP technology portfolio, from SAP R/3 to latest SAP web service technology. Version 5.0 allows for accelerated deployment in minutes through scenario-based setup wizards and provides a new, zero-footprint web client that expands the list of possible deployment platforms to Linux and Mac OS X. Additional localizations enable customers in emerging market like China and India to leverage best-in-class technology for SAP SSO.

Existing solutions for SAP SSO based on SAP Logon Tickets or Kerberos do not offer adequate security, nor do they provide a cohesive, integrated and consistent methodology for the entire SAP technology portfolio. Moreover, those solutions are not flexible enough to address future functional requirements like re-authentication or authentication across business networks. In addition, enterprises prefer extendable, standards based solutions to avoid vendor lock-in that may result in high long-term costs. All this has generated renewed interest in using certificate technology with SAP.

The common perception is that SAP SSO solutions based on certificate technology are very secure but are too complex to deploy. With the new, breakthrough release of Secure Login 5.0, SECUDE renders the unnecessary complexity obsolete. It allows customers to rapidly deploy SAP SSO solutions built on the strengths of certificate technology. The product does not require a PKI, leverages existing technology infrastructure (e.g. Active Directory), and can be implemented within minutes. Capitalizing on SECUDE’s design for E-SOA, customers achieve the flexibility to easily adapt the solution to evolving business needs that that require advanced functionality, fast reconfiguration or integration with other solutions.

“We continue on our path to increase customer value and reduce implementation costs at the same time,” says Heiner Kromer, CEO of SECUDE, “SECUDE Secure Login 5.0 reduces time to value through scenario-based setup wizards and new web-based clients. The modular structure of the solution leaves customers the option to start out in minutes with basic single sign-on, and then go for easy upgrades to new features. We have pushed again the boundaries in terms of speed of deployment.”
