Use Cases and Deployment Scope

My previous organization used CoSign SSO for single-sign-on user authentication for web apps. Since the company's web environment hosted multiple apps like Concur for reimbursement processing, Slack for messages, Workday for organizational-level info, a single-sign-on feature of CoSign SSO made the login process seamless. CoSign SSO even had a feature configuring our personal apps as well, which didn't even require IT's involvement.

Pros

  • A single sign on to multiple apps
  • Easy to configure personal apps along with the organization's apps
  • Can log in via social website apps like Gmail/Facebook/Twitter

Cons

  • CoSign SSO is open source but there are limited support forums available
  • Login via multiple platforms at the same time becomes troublesome at times
  • More support should be provided to resolve errors

Most Important Features

  • Social login
  • Single sign in
  • Integrating personal applications without IT approval/involvement

Return on Investment

  • Single-sign-on feature saves employees time, which increases productivity
  • Limited support on troubleshooting errors prolongs resolution time
  • A single point of control to admin to manage users' access

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use CoSign SSO for user authentication in our web apps. Our environment required access to multiple apps with a single login. CoSign was able to help in that using environment variable approach. It worked even for apps that were behind the firewall. Also integration with WordPress made the login process seamless.

Pros

  • Single sign-on.
  • Integration with WordPress and various other sign-ons.
  • Works behind firewall.
  • Supports OAuth.

Cons

  • Troubleshooting errors can be a bit difficult.
  • Would prefer more support for users where information is stored in databases like SQL.
  • More forums to discuss issues.

Most Important Features

  • Single sign-on.
  • Working behind firewall.
  • WordPress plugin.

Return on Investment

  • Improved productivity as users do not need to remember multiple passwords.
  • Gave better control to admin as user access can be controlled at a single point for multiple apps/platforms.
  • Made it easier for company to explore more solutions without worrying about more login accounts.
