Stoneware webOS

Single Sign-on

Stoneware's webOS is designed to provide users with a virtual web desktop interface capable of delivering all of an organization's applications and services. Simplifying user access to corporate resources is critical when reducing the overall management costs and improving usability. By leveraging Stoneware's single sign-on technology, webOS users can gain seamless access to all applications and services with just their network user ID and password. Stoneware provides a broad set of single sign-on capabilities to simplify user access to file systems, databases, web applications, remote desktops, terminal servers, and published applications.

For the first time organizations can present their users with a single web interface that provides secure access to all their applications and information with only a single user ID/password.


Lockbox - Stoneware's Lockbox provides secure and encrypted storage of all user IDs, passwords, and other personal information.

The Lockbox becomes the encrypted store for all the various application and system credentials needed by a webOS user.

  • Automatically encrypts and decrypts credentials when passed to the single sign-on process
