SecureLogin Kiosk
Fast user switching for shared workstation environments
Many industries such as healthcare and manufacturing use shared workstations to provide employees with rapid access to computing resources. Compliance (HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley, GLBA, Basel II) and security requirements have led to complex password requirements on these workstations. As a result, shared workstation usage is difficult due to the number and complexity of passwords. Frustrated staff tend to bypass security by sharing passwords or leaving the applications open for the next person to use.
SecureLogin® Kiosk makes shared workstations easy to use, secure and keeps users accountable for their online activity. SecureLogin Kiosk works together with SecureLogin SSO for fast user switching in a shared workstation environment: Users log on once (via password, smart card, USB token, active proximity badge, biometrics, or a combination of these), and have automatic access to applications without further password prompts.
Key Features
Fast Login, Fast Logoff
- Users log on once, with no more password prompts from applications

Supports leading applications
- Works with nearly all desktop, terminal and web-based applications.
- Supports medical applications such as Cerner Millennium® and MEDITECH applications.
- Supports SSO to and within Windows® Terminal Services and Citrix® sessions.
- Integrated support for active proximity badges such as the Ensure Technologies™ Xyloc™
Complements identity management projects
- Supports identity management provisioning systems from Microsoft®, Oracle®, Novell®, Sun™, IBM® and CA™
Supports Fusion from Carefx™ for patient information aggregation
- Provides context management in CCOW-enabled applications for simplified access to patient data
- Removes complexity from navigating menus and searching for records in every application used during the work session
Benefits
Improves User Satisfaction
Users often perceive password prompts as an impediment to getting work done. SecureLogin Kiosk makes computer access easy, fast, and secure.
Addresses Regulatory Compliance and accountability
Behind the scenes, applications stay safe through randomized strong passwords that users don’t need to memorize.
Rapid Identification
When combined with active proximity badge authentication, SecureLogin Kiosk automatically recognizes users when they are near. Users do not have to type in their username to get started.
Prevents Unauthorized Access
Workstations in high traffic areas stay locked when not in use. With an active proximity badge, SecureLogin Kiosk automatically locks the workstation when the user walks away. With a smart card or USB token, the workstation is locked automatically when the device is removed.
