Secure, single sign on now available with TopClass 6.1.3

Dublin, Ireland - March 5th, 2003 - WBT Systems, the Leader in Enterprise e-Learning Solutions, today announced the availability of TopClass integration with Netegrity SiteMinder®. The integration allows policy-based identity and access management and supports single sign-on to the TopClass e-Learning Suite. Users can move seamlessly from an existing portal site to the TopClass application and return to the portal without the need for re-authentication.

In addition to support for multiple user authentication processes, including Netegrity Siteminder and Microsoft Windows Unified Logon, all content in TopClass is secured at the Learning Object level. Users are automatically sandboxed with access to content and collaboration areas associated only with their own courses. Administrators, instructors, authors and mangers are all secured with varying levels of security privileges that ensures they have access only to work with those users, content and other resources appropriate to their roles. These electronic signature and access rules together with our comprehensive audit trails ensures compliance with all applicable data capture standards.

"Security has been an important feature in TopClass since its launch in 1996," said Duncan Lennox, Chief Technology Officer, WBT Systems. "In a time of increased legislation requirements, security is of paramount importance and our integration with Netegrity ensures we address enterprise security requirements. "
