SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 03, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AssetWorks LLC is pleased to announce they are now a sponsored vendor with InCommon. This sponsorship enables AssetWorks to provide single sign-on capabilities using the education community’s standard federation system. That is, bringing your own identity now means you can bring your own identity infrastructure too when using AssetWorks AiM software.
InCommon Federation allows production-level end-users to access a wide variety of protected resources using standards-based, SAML-compliant single sign-on and federation software, such as Shibboleth®.
Cementing their position as a leader in higher education facilities management technology, AssetWorks now enables member colleges and universities to leverage their investment in InCommon to securely connect their identities to the market leading IWMS.
Rather than relying on a third party to store and manage sensitive information, through InCommon, academic institutions can leverage their existing SSO for secure access to AssetWorks via their standardized, secure sign-on infrastructure.
AssetWorks support for InCommon SSO is expected to be available with the AiM 9.2 release on October 18th. Higher education institutions can opt in to use InCommon single-sign-on for their AiM enabled devices.
