WebDocs - iSeries Edition is enabled for Single Sign-on and will be released to our customers this January. With Single Sign-On, users are able to enter their user name and password one time, and then access multiple applications and/or servers without signing in again. Single Sign-On combines user authentication in Windows domains with a means of mapping user authorization in those applications and/or servers.
We are especially excited about this enhancement for a variety reasons. On the user side, it will increase productivity and provide much tighter security, since they won’t have to write down multiple user IDs and passwords. In addition, users will have fewer passwords to remember. Administrators will benefit by having fewer help desk calls for password resets and will not need to safeguard lists of multiple user IDs and passwords. Administrators will also be able to implement Single Sign-on as needed.
Throughout 2012, RJS will be rolling out Single Sign-On enhancements for WebDocs – Windows Edition, WebForms, Enterprise Workflow and related client tools, like Scan Workstation, Image Viewer and Batch Import Utility.
