Visual Guard Authentication
OAuth & OpenID Connect Integration
Authenticate users securely with OAuth for authorization and OpenID Connect (OIDC) for authentication.
By using secure, encrypted tokens, OIDC simplifies user login, verifying their identity while OAuth grants access to resources.
This combination reduces the need for frequent password entry and ensures that only authorized users can access your PowerBuilder applications, minimizing the risk of credential theft.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Enhance security by integrating Visual Guard Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) alongside OpenID Connect (OIDC).
OpenID Connect handles the initial identity verification, while VG MFA adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to confirm their identity through various methods.
With Visual Guard, users can complete their authentication via email, SMS code, or the Microsoft Authenticator app. These multiple options provide flexibility and significantly strengthen the protection of sensitive transactions and access to critical resources.
Single Sign-On (SSO)
Simplify login with OpenID Connect and SSO.
OpenID Connect integrates seamlessly with the Visual Guard Single Sign-On (SSO) to further simplify the login process.
By using OIDC to authenticate users once, they can then access all connected applications without the need for multiple logins.
An example of SSO would be to reuse Windows accounts defined in AD, Azure AD or MS Entra to authenticate the user and give them access to multiple applications.
