Simple, Secure SAML Authentication in PeopleSoft
Turnkey SAML SSO connector, designed for PeopleSoft
Identity Providers such as ADFS, Shibboleth, OKTA, Ping, and Azure all use the SAML standard. However, PeopleSoft lacks the support required to integrate with a SAML Identity Provider. As a result, PeopleSoft applications tend to be isolated from enterprise Single Sign-On (SSO) strategies.
With (IdP-integrated) SSO becoming a requirement across all enterprise applications, organizations are struggling to include PeopleSoft. As an alternative, extensive customizations and home-grown solutions are being explored – both of which add unnecessary cost and complexity.
Key Challenges
No Native SAML Support
Customizations and Complexity
Weak Password Controls
Database Provisioning
User Demands
PeopleSoft lacks the SAML technology necessary to communicate with an ID provider. Simulating this functionality requires customizations
Either creating customizations to simulate SAML communication or building an SSO from scratch adds significant complexity as customizations are typically costly, fragile, and require frequent maintenance
Enforcing strong password parameters in PeopleSoft is not possible unless you are leveraging your ID provider. Otherwise users may have multiple, weak passwords (for various PSFT applications) that are easy to crack.
Manually provisioning a database as users come and go in an organization is extremely time consuming
Login screens can halt a user’s progression through a workflow. Users waiting on password resets is a significant time waster in every organization
Why Appsian?
Appsian’s PeopleSoft SSO Connector solves this challenge by providing the only SAML integration layer for PeopleSoft. There is no other native SAML solution available in the market.
