Convenience for Your Members

With Single Sign-On (SSO), your MLS or association's website can become the focal point of a member's online experience, providing great convenience.

Without SSO: Agents need to access many websites — their MLS, their local association, forms providers, transaction management sites, the state and national associations, and other online services. Today, the agent must open each site separately and log on with different IDs and passwords.

With SSO: Your MLS or association site can become an "identity portal" that simplifies your members' experience. Imagine the convenience! Your members log on to your site once, and then smoothly access any number of trusted sites — without having to log on again.

Your Site Becomes a Single Point of Entry

SSO lets you tie your members' "online community" together. Your site can authenticate the member during logon (ideally using strong, two-factor authentication), and then offer easy transportation to other trusted sites. Agents will only need to remember one ID and password, and have a single, secure point of entry to many services. Associations will benefit from being the "hub" of their members' online circle of trust.

Security that Meets 'Best Practice' Standards

Rapattoni hosts the SSO identity portal and provides management software that lets you determine which users should have access to which trusted sites. The system passes secure, signed and certified information between SSO sites using the security industry standard Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) technology. Rapattoni's SSO program creates and sends a signed and certified SAML file that can be received by any trusted vendor's website.

Give your members the convenience of leading-edge technology with Rapattoni's industry-standard SSO.

Secure Logon Provides a Higher Level of Security

Rapattoni's token-based Secure Logon service bolsters the security of your SSO identity portal by giving extra assurance of the user's identity. During logon, users must provide "two-factor authentication" — their ID and password (something they know), and the code displayed on their security token (something they have). The combination of the user's password and the correct tokencode provides a much more reliable level of user authentication than reusable passwords alone. And with the increased amount of data accessible through an SSO identity portal, data security and trusted user identities become more of priority.

• Your members will love the convenience of a single logon to access many sites.
• You will benefit by increased contact with your members as their online portal.
