Unicon extends central authentication service (cas) to meet identity and access management (iam) needs of altegra health

Unicon, Inc., a leading IT consulting, services, and support provider specializing in open source, today announced that it has extended the Central Authentication Service (CAS) to solve some of Altegra Health’s key IT business challenges. Altegra Health, a service-oriented healthcare technology company, needed to offer their institutional clients a web single sign-on solution that would support various authentication protocols. Clients needed a simple way to access Altegra Health’s cloud applications and resources using their own existing authentication layer. CAS, an Apereo project, is a flexible open source solution that Unicon extended to meet this need. CAS provides convenient web single sign-on for the enterprise and was already successfully in use at Altegra Health, so the company decided on extending CAS for the solution for their cloud services.

Unicon extended CAS for Altegra Health with new features including multi-tenancy with different policies for each client, and multi-protocol support for a number of standards including SAML, OAuth, and OpenID, and two-factor authentication for greater security.
