Rapattoni Generates Web SSO Access to Listingbook

Rapattoni Corporation has announced  that they have successfully completed Web Single Sign-On (SSO) access for the Florida Gulf Coast MLS using Rapattoni Secure Logon authentication to Listingbook™. This integration enables members to log on once to the MLS and then access the Listingbook site without requiring separate logons.

Rapattoni's Single Sign-On (SSO) feature leverages the security industry standard Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) technology. This technology allows the customer to establish "trust" relationships between third-party vendor web sites. Rapattoni's SSO program creates and sends an attached SAML "file" along with a link that can be received by any complying vendor's web site. This process allows the user to avoid repeated logons. Once the user has gained access to a compliant remote site, they can move freely between the web sites.

Rap attoni supports several SSO standards, including SAML and OpenID. SAML is the standard most widely used by the commercial security industry, including financial institutions where this new style of integration has proven to be a secure and effective solution.

Nick Rapattoni, president, said, "We work hard to develop technology that is user-friendly and intuitive. Our innovative data-security solutions offer additional benefits along with increased security, and are quickly setting the standard in the real estate industry."

About OpenID

OpenID is an open standard adopted by several major companies that eliminates the need for multiple user names and passwords for different web sites by using a single OpenID.
