webConnect-SSO provides secure thin client terminal emulation to mainframe (CICS, IMS, Z/OS, zLinux, etc.), midrange (AS400) and UNIX systems from all standard web browsers. webConnect-SSO enables enterprise organizations to provide suppliers, partners and employees with secure access to vital applications and information. Enterprises increase productivity and profits, and retain all the advantages of secure host connectivity to new and existing applications in "real-time."

Because webConnect-SSO is non-intrusive, it provides secure SSL encrypted information migration and access without requiring modification to your host system. With its patented secure, "persistent connectivity" technology, only webConnect-SSO is capable of supporting tens of thousands of concurrent terminal emulation sessions to your web browser users.

webConnect-SSO delivers secure single sign-on access to multiple mainframe applications with just one mouse click. Secure access is delivered through a single authentication process. With webConnect-SSO, user ids and passwords are stored within the glass house, thus eliminating serious security issues that result from passwords and login information being stored on the desktop. webConnect-SSO integrates to virtually every identity management (IDM) solution to provide centralized user administration, support and credential management.

OpenConnect Systems has been a leader in server based solutions that integrate SNA with TCP/IP environments for over 16 years. webConnect-SSO expands on that expertise in allowing secure browser based access to IBM enterprise hosts. With built-in industry standard RSA encryption, support for RACF (Resource Allocation Control Facility) and SNA session level security, it is the most secure solution available.

webConnect-SSO offers additional flexibility in that it can be deployed in an AS/400 environment or UNIX System Services Shell. webConnect-SSO for AS/400 runs in an AS/400 environment that uses the latest version of the OS/400 operating system with an IPDS board, by utilizing webConnect-SSO for NT as the interface. webConnect-SSO for S/390 is a UNIX System Services Shell-based SNA Web co-processor that enables direct access to host applications over the Internet.
