Using ESPReSSO to streamline SSO access

Abstract

Establishing Suggested Practices Regarding Single Sign-On (ESPReSSO) is an initiative of the National Information Standards Organization (NISO), which is developing a set of recommended practices for the authentication of authorized users to licensed external resources utilizing single sign-on (SSO) technologies. One benefit of SSO authentication is that it significantly reduces the need for IP range management for individual institutions and service providers. The ESPReSSO working group recommendations are intended to facilitate the adoption of SSO authentication for both individual institutions and service providers in order to improve the overall user experience. © The North American Serials Interest Group, Inc.
