Panda Restaurant Group Chooses
Cams Web Single Sign-on Security Middleware Solution
San Diego, CA, September 26, 2006 - Cafésoft announced today
that the Panda Restaurant Group selected the company's Cams web
single sign-on security middleware solution to protect the company's
web sites. Panda has successfully deployed Cams to secure all mission
critical web applications and files, which are accessed internally
and externally by employees, customers and business partners.
"Panda's selection of Cams represents a watershed event for
us," said Gary Gwin, Cafésoft president and CEO. "Though
we've consistently won opportunities against more expensive enterprise
vendor solutions, this is the first deal where Cams has replaced
an existing competitor's product. Panda chose Cams because it worked
better, was more cost-effective and Cafésoft customer support
was superior."
For Panda, Cafésoft implemented support for Cams web single
sign-on to Microsoft Outlook Web Access (OWA). OWA is the web facing
front-end to Microsoft Exchange that uses Windows security. Cafésoft's
enhanced Cams to support Windows Impersonation,
which enables real-time translation of a Cams user session to a
Windows user login. This new feature also provides the same Cams
web single sign-on benefit to Microsoft products such as SharePoint
Portal Server and other 3rd party ISV solutions that use Windows
IIS security. Additionally, Cams is being used at Panda to protect
resources on J2EE servers such as BEA WebLogic and Tomcat.
"The responsive service and support we received from Cafésoft
is exactly what we look for in a vendor," said Caleb Mitsvotai,
executive directory of information systems development at Panda
Restaurant Group. "They have been an extension of our own staff.
They made the adoption and implementation of their solution easy.
We truly felt like they were interested in our success."
Cams makes sites more secure and manageable by centralizing web
application security policy decisions and management, rather than
implementing security within web applications and web servers. This
centralized approach to web security enables companies to reduce
development and administration time, complexity and costs, while
improving time-to-market, site security and software life-cycle
flexibility. Cams also provides web single sign-on to eliminate
the cost, risk and pain associated with multiple user accounts and
sign-ons for the same web site.
The Cams service oriented architecture provides the security middleware
foundation to easily deploy customized web application security
solutions into heterogeneous environments. The lightweight, Java-based
Cams policy server is easy-to-install and configure in small organizations
while scaling to meet the requirements of large enterprise sites.
Cams offers an industry leading meta-directory approach to integration
with Microsoft Active Directory, LDAP servers, SQL databases and
more. Other product features include:
- Web single sign-on to web and J2EE application servers
- Access control based on roles (RBAC), HTTP query parameters,
database values,
- date/time, location and custom rules
- Simplified and centralized security policy administration
- Security event logging, analysis and real-time notification
- Flexible customizations via open APIs
- Cross-platform support including Windows, Linux and Solaris
