An administrator wants to simplify the user experience by allowing employees to authenticate once and then transparently access the company's email system, cloud-based project-management tool, and internal time-tracking application for the rest of their work session. Which of the following technologies should the administrator implement to meet this requirement?
Single sign-on (SSO) allows a user to enter one set of credentials and, after successful authentication, gain access to all authorized applications without re-entering those credentials again during the session. Multifactor authentication strengthens the login process but does not remove the need to supply credentials for each service; role-based access control assigns permissions rather than streamlining logins; and a virtual private network only encrypts network traffic, leaving individual application logins unchanged.
