Administrators: Federated Single Sign-On for the Thomson Reuters Account

Federated SSO benefits

Customers who use Federated Single Sign-On usually seek enhanced security.  Requiring authentication on your Workforce IAM service before allowing access to Thomson Reuters applications provides them with multiple options beyond basic password security.
Federated Single Sign-On provides two enhanced security benefits:
  1. Your IT department normally disables network logins when employees leave the company. However, third party applications such as those from Thomson Reuters are typically administered outside the IT department.  Disabling logins for third party applications is often a slower process, potentially exposing sensitive data and systems to former employees.  By requiring your users to login using Federated Single Sign-On from your Workforce IAM service, disabling users on your Workforce IAM service automatically removes their ability to login to Thomson Reuters applications.
  2. Companies with specialized authentication requirements, such as specialized password policy restrictions or the use of "two-factor authentication" hardware tokens typically want comparable security in third party applications.  Using Federated Single Sign-On, you can use the same authentication technology used on your Workforce IAM service to control access to Thomson Reuters applications.
