Easy, Secure Single Sign-On
All Editions

• Improve the user experience with single sign-on across the enterprise
• Centralize user management in a single system

With Summer ’08, you can use the OASIS Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) standard to provide single sign-on system access. This feature lets customers who invested in SAML to implement single sign-on in Salesforce easily and cost-effectively. Unlike with delegated authentication, customers do not have to deploy Salesforce-specific software to use SAML. Also, SAML never sends passwords to Salesforce, so it is inherently more secure than other authentication mechanisms.
