Is GateKeeper Proximity SSO?

Single sign-on (SSO) is an authentication model that allows a user to authenticate once and access multiple independent systems or applications without repeatedly entering separate credentials.

GateKeeper supports this in two ways.

First, GateKeeper provides a Cascading Login experience. With Cascading Login, a user authenticates to their computer using an approved GateKeeper credential, such as a token, card, or PIN-based workflow. Once authenticated through GateKeeper, the user can access stored credentials for approved websites, applications, or other systems. These saved credentials are only available when the user logs in using an authorized GateKeeper credential. If the user logs in through another method, those credentials are not available.

Second, GateKeeper now supports SSO Management through GateKeeper Hub. This allows GateKeeper to be configured as an identity provider for supported SSO applications using standards such as SAML or OIDC. In this model, users can authenticate with GateKeeper and then access configured applications through the SSO workflow.

So, GateKeeper is no longer limited to only mimicking SSO through Cascading Login. GateKeeper can also support native SSO application workflows where configured and licensed appropriately.
