Authentication using Remedy Single Sign-On

Remedy Single Sign-On (Remedy SSO) is an authentication system for a multi software environment that enables users to present credentials for authentication only once.

After Remedy SSO authenticates the users, they can gain access to any other application with automatic authentication without providing the credentials again.
