
Maps user credentials from Windows to
non-windows systems
 Authenticate once and securely access target systems
 Secret store contains user mappings encrypted
 E.g., domain\jonqp => mySAPaccount/mypass
Integrates with SPS to provide SSO for portal
Web Services front-end for any client to any platform
Configuration information stored in secure store
Security is important – reviewed 3 times by the windows security
team and independent experts
