IGEL, a provider of a managed endpoint operating system for secured access to digital workspaces, announced from VMware Explore Barcelona that IGEL OS 12 Single Sign-On (SSO) now supports VMware Identity Services for authentication to VMware Workspace ONE Access.
Simplifying secure access to digital workspaces, cloud apps and data, IGEL’s support for VMware Identity Services improves user experiences while enabling increased productivity and privilege access control through a centralized VMware Workspace ONE interface.
IGEL has integrated the advanced IGEL OS 12 SSO technology with VMware Identity Services enabling users to logon once to VMware Horizon using a SCIM 2.0-based cloud identity solution including Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory), Okta or other SCIM 2.0-compliant technology.
Secure access and policy control for the IGEL OS-powered endpoints is centralized through the VMware Workspace ONE unified endpoint management solution delivering granular privilege management in a single view.
Once logged in, further user authentication is not required to access a virtual desktop, published cloud desktop or application, simplifying the user experience and securing critical business data.
The VMware Identity Services support will be available generally this quarter in the latest release of IGEL OS 12, as part of the IGEL COSMOS secure endpoint platform. Using the feature, users are able to boot to a VMware authentication screen that will authenticate them with session tokens that enable secure access to the apps and services the VMware environment suports.
Once authenticated, users will be able to access a VMware Workspace ONE app catalog and launch directly into VMware Horizon Cloud, as well as any other authorized applications, without any additional login.
