Validation by Security Experts Reflects Citrix Engineering Effort

Citrix MetaFrame Password Manager, which provides password security and enterprise single sign-on (SSO) access to secure applications, received praise from Foundstone, Inc., recognized industry experts in security strategy. Following an independent assessment, Foundstone reported on the industry-leading security attributes of Password Manager, citing the product’s “solid approach to security” and stating that it “conforms with best practices Foundstone has seen in the software industry.” This success is the result of Citrix’s extraordinary commitment to technology research and development. The Citrix R&D team invested 39,000 hours prior to the first market release of Password Manager in September 2003 to fortify the SSO capabilities of MetaFrame Password Manager and provide a multi-layered security architecture and enterprise-class security.

Enterprise Single Sign-on

Citrix® MetaFrame® Password Manager is the most efficient enterprise single sign-on solution for accessing password-protected applications – whether those applications are locally installed on the user’s device or running in the Citrix MetaFrame Access Suite environment.

Designed to work seamlessly with all products in the Citrix MetaFrame Access Suite, Citrix MetaFrame Password Manager provides password security and enterprise single sign-on access to Windows®, Web and host-based applications.

Users authenticate once with a single password, and MetaFrame Password Manager does the rest, automatically logging into password-protected information systems, enforcing password policies, and even automating end-user tasks, including password changes. MetaFrame Password Manager makes connecting to applications faster and more secure, and can lower help desk support costs by as much as 25 percent.
