Nexus Technology: Argus Authentication Server
- Multiple credential types accepted: domain password, one-time-password (OTP), corporate card, national eID, mobile phone, PKI certificate, etc.
- Single sign-on for user convenience: After presenting his or her credential, the user can move around to visit any number of web services without needing to log on again.
- Single sign-off: The user needs to log out only once and Argus logs him or her out from all connected applications and sessions. If the user remains inactive for some time, he or she will be logged out too.
- Identity federation made simple: By means of ID mapping, Argus enables the use of one single ID across all systems and thereby provides federation of identities by a simple means. • Quick and easy integration via SAML standard: With the use of the slim standard SAML interface (Security Assertion Markup Language), integration with a web application may be achieved as simply as installing an open-source library.
- Policy-based assurance level: Different services may require different levels of assurance of the electronic identity of the user. Argus enforces the right assurance level: while moving to another application, the user may be requested to present a stronger credential, e.g. an eID in favour of the formerly presented password.
- Validation against various PKI and LDAP systems: Credential validation is performed on basis of international standards. Argus is thus fully compatible with other Nexus products and with standard compliant third party products too.
- Flexibility: The architecture of Argus is pluggable. Adding new credential types, integrating with new identity stores, introducing new identity mapping rules is possible with little effort. Branding to corporate design and localisation are easy too.
