Google Search Appliance Web Single Sign-on Integration

Organizations around the world use Cafésoft Cams to give employees, customers and partners single sign-on access to secure web content and applications. Cams is simple, downloadable, readily deployed and used, and priced and implemented at a fraction of the cost of Cafésoft’s enterprise competitors.

Enterprises that are evaluating or using the Google Search Appliance (GSA) to search secure web content should consider Cams if they do not have a web single sign-on and access management solution, or if their solution is incomplete. As a Google Enterprise Professional partner, Cafésoft assists customers with GSA security requirements analysis, design strategy and integration services.

The diagram below shows a conceptual example of a Cams deployment using one Cams policy server and three Cams web agents in Apache, IIS and J2EE web and application servers. The Google Search Appliance can crawl and securely serve public and private content on any of the web servers protected by Cams. Any number of Cams policy servers and web agents can be deployed to scale from small to large enterprise sites with secure search across all web and application servers.

Cams is certified by Cafésoft to integrate quickly and securely with the GSA without customizations. Customers can configure Cams to be the external authentication server for the GSA, or to use GSA impersonation for authentication. By configuring the GSA to crawl using forms authentication, search access control is automatically enabled for content protected by Cams. Users only see search results for content they are authorized to access. Cafésoft also provides professional integration and support services and can design and implement custom solutions as required using published GSA APIs.
