the project leads thus to the deployment D `a hybrid chart equipee D `one and of customer SSO of the editor on the work stations. The smart card allows pay D `to reach the buildings, to unbolt their station and stores various codes D `access to the applications. For the user, it N `is from now on necessary to store the code PINE of the chart (6 alphanumerics).

« When we have deploye on a world level, we had already 25 covered standards applications. For an employee who had ten accounts, it had already on average ten taken of it of load par. They could note the benefit. The pressure came later when the users have wishes that the SSO be extended to the remaining applications. But this N `is technically not always possible » , Marc Jobert comments on.

the rebootstrapping of password: 5% of the requests to the support

Parexel also defined a specific scenario in case D `lapse of memory of the smart card. The Evidian application allows D `thus to activate the customer on the station in a mode baptizes SO …
