An Education customer of SSO Easy had limited time to enable Single Sign On capability for their user population of Gmail users.  The school district had previously implemented Google Apps Education Edition, and was faced with a very aggressive timeframe for implementing SAML 2.0 based SSO function.

The school district client had no prior SAML experience, and no programming resources available.

With SSO Easy’s assistance, the EasyConnect software product solution was successfully installed and migrated into production in about four hours.

Google has created tremendous demand for Google Apps, and for GMail, the email component of Google Apps.

In order for the potential benefits of Google Apps and GMail to be realized, the integrated email system must be secure and easily accessible by users.  Single Sign On, or SSO, is the means by which this secure and convenient access is provided to users.

In order for organizations to provide Single Sign On capability for their GMail users, the SAML 2.0 protocol must be supported by the organization through the implementation of a SAML 2.0 compliant product solution.
