9STAR Unveils Fully Managed, Cloud-Hosted, SAML2 Gateway Service for SaaS vendors and Content Publishers

9STAR, a rapidly growing leading provider of enterprise-grade Identity and Access Management software solutions,today unveiled a fully-managed, cloud-hosted, SAML2 gateway service, ElasticSSO Cloud Proxy.  The new service acts as a gateway between SAML2 Service Providers (SP) which are typically SaaS vendors and Content Publishers and their client's SAML Identity Provider (IDP). 

ElasticSSO Cloud Proxy Service can be used by SaaS developers, SaaS vendors, Content Publishers and MSPs who want to minimize downtime and disruptions associated with integration of new clients that require SAML Single Sign-On (SSO) authentication for secure access to the SaaS App. ElasticSSO Cloud Proxy can also be integrated with any Shibboleth Identity Federation.

Instead of constantly changing and testing SAML SP configurations with each client access integration, a SaaS vendor now only need to connect their App (SAML SP) just once to the Elastic SSO Cloud Proxy Service.  The enterprise clients of SaaS vendor can simply connect their SAML Identity Providers to ElasticSSO Cloud Proxy.  The SaaS App still has complete access to user and client information that is needed for access management and control.  9STAR’s new proxy service thus acts as an intermediary between the SaaS App and their client’s SAML Identity Provider.

“An Exceptional Service”

“ElasticSSO Cloud Proxy Service provides SaaS developers, SaaS vendors and MSPs with simplified and easy-to-use service and delivers minimized downtimes and maximized reliability,” said 9STAR's President, Vinay Kumar.  We’re quite proud to offer this exceptional service. 

“ElasticSSO Cloud Proxy Service gave our software team the ability to stay focused on our core competency of providing great App experience to our customers, without worrying about complexities of SAML and SSO authentication”, said David Minor, President of Career Dimensions, Inc. ElasticSSO Proxy Services reduced our App’s downtime, disruptions and delays while enhancing security and access controls four our App. We are happy with the Service and would recommend this to any SaaS App vendor.
