Overview<\/span><\/h3>\n

Single sign-on<\/b>\u00a0(SSO<\/b>) is a mechanism of\u00a0access control\u00a0that can be applied on multiple related, but independent\u00a0software\u00a0systems. With this mechanism a user\u00a0logs in\u00a0once and gains access to multiple systems without being prompted to log in again for each individual application. Conversely,\u00a0single sign-off<\/b>\u00a0is property mechanism whereby a single action of signing out terminates access to multiple software systems.<\/p>\n
