"Vintela Single Sign-on for Java delivers the type of integration and level of sophistication required by enterprise-level users of Active Directory and Java," said Jackson Shaw, vice president of product management at Vintela. "With this release of VSJ, we've provided an even deeper level of integration, a more extensive set of Kerberos tools, and it continues as the 'right way' to integrate Java and J2EE into Active Directory. As we've seen with hundreds-of-thousands of users worldwide, no other solution can come close."
"As Active Directory continues to increase in importance for enterprises, its ability to also provide identity and access services to heterogeneous systems grows in importance," said Michael Stephenson, director, Windows Server Division at Microsoft. "With VSJ, Vintela enables customers to extend Active Directory's innate security, scalability, and single sign-on capabilities to serve more of their identity and access management needs."
Consolidated end-to-end security is provided by integrating VSJ with Active Directory and J2EE applications. In this way, the identity of the user-and the Kerberos credential-generated at Windows login seamlessly extends to the Web, business tiers, and data tiers providing true single sign-on. This consolidated security provides a quicker path to regulatory compliance while streamlining management. Tight integration with Vintela Authentication Services (VAS) allows organizations using both VSJ and VAS to authenticate using the same Kerberos credential for Java, UNIX, and Linux-creating a true single sign-on environment
VSJ provides secure single sign-on authentication between users and applications through its use of the Windows Integrated Authentication mechanism. VSJ is optimized to leverage Kerberos credentials through Enterprise Java Beans (EJB) for WebLogic and JDBC for authentication to SQL Server from J2EE applications.
