BYO SharePoint identity solution
Portal Solutions, a technology consulting firm that provides digital workplace solutions, has announces its newest product, AuthentiMate – a SharePoint authentication solution that allows external users to use popular social site credentials to access a SharePoint environment.
AuthentiMate enables organisations to securely and easily share content and applications with external customers, partners and stakeholders without user management involvement. The solution eliminates the need for administrators to assign and manage usernames and passwords and provides users the flexibility and convenience to use already established credentials.
External parties can connect to a SharePoint environment using credentials from popular social sites such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and Microsoft Account (Live ID). It also provides a large range of functionality to address the complexity of configuring user management, federation and single-sign on settings.
With AuthentiMate users can simplify content sharing, eliminate external user management hassles, automate the registration process and account provisioning, and monitor what content is shared and for how long.
