ISAM ESSO AccessAgent

ISAM ESSO AccessAgent by IBM Corp. is the client-side component of IBM Security Access Manager for Enterprise Single Sign-On. It runs on end-user workstations to provide passwordless, policy-driven sign-on to Windows desktops and a wide range of enterprise and legacy applications without modifying those applications. AccessAgent recognizes login prompts, securely stores user credentials in an encrypted wallet, and automatically supplies them based on centrally defined access policies. It integrates with directory services for user identity, supports strong authentication methods, and works in both dedicated and shared-workstation environments such as VDI, Citrix, kiosks, and clinical desktops.

Key capabilities include:

• Enterprise single sign-on for desktop, web, and legacy apps through profile-based credential capture and replay
• Centralized policy management and deployment using administrative tools and an enterprise SSO server
• Encrypted credential storage with optional roaming and offline access
• Support for strong and multifactor authentication at Windows logon and application access
• Self-service features such as password reset and session unlock, reducing help desk calls
• Audit and logging to help meet compliance and security requirements
• Optimizations for fast user switching and shared workstations in high-turnover environments

By reducing password fatigue and standardizing access workflows, AccessAgent helps improve productivity, strengthen security, and simplify user access across diverse applications and platforms.
