UserAuthority
Unified User Authentication

Provides centralized authentication for applications
UserAuthority captures authentication information from multiple sources within an organization -for example, VPN-1/FireWall-1 and Windows NT- and makes that information available to applications. Applications are able to make intelligent authorization decision based on this centralized authentication information without having to re-authenticate users. For application developers, leveraging existing authentication sources simplifies the process of creating secure applications and eliminates the need to create redundant databases of user authentication information.

Enables a single sign-on for multiple applications
Application users benefit with UserAuthority because a single authentication is all that is required to access all business critical applications. UserAuthority eliminates the need for users to remember multiple passwords, or store multiple digital certificates, tokens, etc., because authentication information is captured and made available to all UserAuthority-enabled applications.

Add-on functionality to Check Point VPN-1 Gateway
As organizations provide broader access to their enterprise applications, properly securing those applications becomes more and more critical. To ensure the highest levels of security, state-of-the-art security products and technologies must be used. VPN-1/FireWall-1 is a market-proven, state-of-the-art security platform which, when combined with UserAuthority, extends the highest levels of security to enterprise application authentication.
