TecUNIFY: SSO for Thick Clients

Maximize your Okta investment and extend Okta's capability to use Single Sign-On for traditional Thick Client apps.

What is TecUNIFY?

Traditional thick client apps, including desktop or mainframe apps, use external identity stores and do not have federation capabilities. Passwords for all these apps are unique and the user has to remember all of them.

TecUNIFY is an all-in-one solution which addresses the thick client use-case for Okta users. TecUNIFY enables a seamless Single Sign-On experience for users, so that they don’t have to remember every password.

Key Features

  • Single dashboard for all thick client and webapps
  • Launch thick client apps without manually entering passwords
  • Launch apps in a predefined order or auto-launch applications without user intervention
  • Launch applications that require multi-step login flow
  • Enforce Okta MFA for thick-client apps via TecUNIFY & app-level Sign-on policy in Okta
  • Assign apps to users by leveraging on Okta assignments features (Individual or Groups)
  • Administrative console for IT for application configuration and credentials management
  • Bulk upload of thick client credentials into Okta
  • Audit trail of all activities in Okta Syslogs
  • Built with adherence to Okta’s Sign-on and Access policies

Key Benefits

Massive Productivity increase
Users don’t have to remember each pasword and enter them every time they log into various apps
