Employees in modern workplaces use multiple applications every day and do not have the time to remember hundreds of passwords. They also use multiple devices to execute their daily work-related tasks. But the question is, how do you make this process easier for your employees?
Enter Scalefusion OneIdP-powered Single Sign-On (SSO) capabilities. SSO is a life-saving feature for employees who want to access multiple applications with a single set of login credentials. Let’s learn more about this in this blog post.
Understanding the Core: What is Single Sign-On?
Single sign-on is a user authentication process that allows individuals to access multiple applications with a single set of login credentials. By centralizing the login process, SSO simplifies the user experience and enhances security. Once a user logs in through an Identity Provider (IdP), an authentication token is generated and shared with various Service Providers (SPs), granting the user access without the need for additional logins. This streamlined approach reduces the hassle of managing multiple passwords and minimizes the risk of weak password usage.
According to a recent study by the Gartner Peer Community[1], the most reported benefit of SSO adoption is an improved end-user experience, cited by 70% of respondents. This is closely followed by the need for fewer access management tools (64%) and a reduction in IT support tickets (61%).
The implementation of SSO offers numerous benefits, including improved user satisfaction, increased productivity, and reduced IT support costs. With fewer passwords to remember, users can navigate their digital workspace more efficiently, while IT departments benefit from a decreased number of password-related support requests. Moreover, SSO enhances security by providing centralized control over authentication and access, allowing for better monitoring and management of user credentials.
Scalefusion OneIdP Single Sign-On Feature
We proudly present the Single Sign-On (SSO) feature within Scalefusion OneIdP, a major advancement in integrating identity and access management with endpoint management. With Scalefusion’s SSO capabilities, IT teams can set user access conditions for managed or unmanaged devices and configure browser policies. This approach further mitigates the risks of unapproved access and addresses security vulnerabilities.
With Scalefusion OneIdP’s SSO, users can now access all business devices and applications using a single set of credentials. This innovation simplifies the login process, removes the need for multiple passwords, and enhances overall productivity. The unified dashboard of Scalefusion OneIdP not only consolidates identity, access, and endpoint management but also ensures seamless and secure access to work applications, strengthening the organization’s security framework.
Keycard and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
In addition to SSO, we are integrating Keycard and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) features within Scalefusion OneIdP. Keycard streamlines access to work devices and applications by enabling the configuration of predefined access conditions based on factors such as location, IP address, Wi-Fi, date, and time. This ensures that access is granted under the right conditions, enhancing security.
MFA provides an additional layer of security by requiring users to verify their identity through multiple methods before gaining access. This reduces the likelihood of unauthorized access and ensures that only authorized individuals can access sensitive business resources.
Together, these features—SSO, Keycard, and MFA—offer a comprehensive solution for secure and efficient identity and access management. Scalefusion OneIdP is designed to provide seamless and secure access to enterprise resources, ensuring a productive and secure work environment.

Practical Use Cases of Single Sign-On
Understanding SSO for enterprise applications for more streamlined and secure access solutions for businesses.
1. Corporate Environments
In a corporate setting, employees often need to access a variety of applications and services daily, such as email, project management tools, CRM systems, and internal communication platforms. The OneIdP SSO feature enables employees to log in once and gain access to all these tools without needing to remember multiple usernames and passwords. This not only improves productivity but also enhances security by ensuring consistent access policies across all applications.
2. Educational Institutions
Universities and schools utilize numerous digital platforms for learning management, student information systems, library resources, and more. Implementing SSO allows students, teachers, and administrative staff to access these resources seamlessly with a single set of credentials. This simplifies the user experience, reduces password-related issues, and ensures that access control policies are uniformly applied, enhancing both convenience and security.
3. Healthcare Systems
Healthcare professionals frequently access various systems, including electronic health records (EHR), appointment scheduling, and billing systems. Scalefusion’s OneIdP SSO capabilities help streamline the workflow by allowing healthcare providers to log in once and access all necessary systems. This reduces the time spent on logging in and managing passwords, allowing more time for patient care. Additionally, SSO enhances security by ensuring that only authorized personnel have access to sensitive patient information, adhering to strict regulatory requirements.
