Ping Identity will participate in this year’s Burton Catalyst interoperability demo, showing how its PingConnect on-demand Single Sign-On (SSO) service acts as a single integration point with Google Apps, Active Directory and virtually any other identity provider system to deliver a universal Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) login that ties together different SaaS environments by managing user access and authentication in the cloud. Users can now login once at their primary identity domain, then directly access their other SaaS applications by simply clicking a link. No further authentication is required and login failures and password resets are minimized.

The Burton Group’s Single Sign-On (SSO) Interoperability Demo: SSO for Cloud-based Applications takes place Wednesday, July 29, 2009, at Catalyst Conference North America 2009 in San Diego, CA. The event will focus on hosted, SaaS or cloud-based applications, illustrating how standards such as SAML, WS-Federation, OpenID, and others can be utilized to overcome password requirements for every cloud-based application. Participants in the demo represent a broad range of technology providers, SaaS application providers, Internet properties, and social software sites.
