Two-Factor Authentication

With Evidian Enterprise Access Management you can add a layer of authentication to your primary method. When logging in to your Windows session, a second authentication factor reinforces access point security. You can add an authentication method supported by Authentication Manager and Windows, in addition to your standard Authentication Manager method as a contextual authentication.

Kiosk Access

Branch employees and sales staff in outlets can use a PC in kiosk mode and find their own environment quickly without having to change their Windows session. In hospitals, a doctor’s working session continues throughout his/her shift.

In order to reduce costs in purchasing workstations, many companies use shared workstations with generic Windows accounts to access the Windows session without having to log off and log back on.

Evidian Enterprise Access Management provides different kiosk modes.

With the standard kiosk feature of Evidian, the Windows generic account is set centrally to the targeted computer.

If the Microsoft autologon feature is already set on the target PC, you can securely share a Windows session among users with the Multi User Desktop feature of Evidian, switching quickly from one user to another. Evidian Multi-User Desktop displays an interface that may hide the full Windows desktop when no user is authenticated on the workstation and hiding user's application environment when leaving the workstation. Multi User Desktop can use the same Authentication Methods supported by Authentication Manager.

Evidian Kiosk Access combined with Evidian Enterprise SSO allow users application access without having to memorize each password.

Cluster Authentication

Traders and technicians in the control room can open, lock, unlock or close a cluster of PCs with single multi-factor authentication. They can also delegate access to their locked sessions, partially or completely, temporarily or permanently.

The Evidian cluster mode is intended to employees who have several computers on their desk and need to use them at the same time. The cluster mode is also useful for a video wall displaying screens of multiple computers that must be open with a single authentication.

Session Management

Typically in a hospital, you must log on to multiple PCs during the day.

The Roaming Session feature simplifies the successive authentication to several computers. When a user, typically a doctor, needs to access several computers during the day, he only has to authenticate strongly once on the first computer to initiate a roaming session. Then, during his roaming session period, he will just have to present his authentication device to open or unlock his Windows session on computers. This function is particularly used by hospitals emergency desks, where nurses and doctors need immediate access to information.

As users move from one computer to another, they might forget to lock the computer they are leaving. Evidian allow to switch workstations securely. Indeed, the Double-Login Prevention feature ensures that when a user is authenticating on a computer, the session opened on the previously used computer is locked.

Extend usage of existing cards

Evidian Authentication Manager allows the use of contactless badges for Windows session opening (combined with Windows password or a PIN). Therefore, your physical access control badge can also be used for logical access on workstations or servers.
