Analyze at least five (5) problems experienced by employees in an enterprise where Single Sign-On (SSO) has not been implemented.
In an enterprise where Single-Sign-On has not been implemented, some problems employees may experience are:
1. In the healthcare industry, it could be booming with single-sign-on. If doctor were to need to sign-on to a database to access a patient’s files, he/she would also have to access x-rays, and other data that would be on a different application. Lack of having a single-sign-on for all that would be a riskto life-saving. Not only that, but much time is wasted.
2. Users will need to manage a whole lot of different passwords in order to access a large number of systems.
3. It can be very difficult to add increased …show more content…
Smart cards rely on two-factor authentication. The smart card can be locked, and only the user who possesses the card and knows the correct personal identification number (PIN) can unlock it. The Kerberos-based SSO on the other hand does not require password from the user.
The smart card also has improved performance. Some sophisticated smart cards contain hardware-based encryption chips that can provide better throughput than software-based implementations. A smart card can also store a username while the Kerberos-based SSO cannot store the username.
The smartcard can be access from any workstation. Users log in by inserting the smart card in a hardware device that reads the card and prompts the user for whatever authentication information the card requires, such as a PIN. Once the user enters the correct authentication information, the smart card generates and enters whatever other authentication information is required.Kerberos-based SSO on the other hand can just be accessed from just one
