PistolStar, Inc. Announces Enhanced Citrix Integration with PortalGuard® SideCar™
BEDFORD, NH (PRWEB) November 16, 2015 -- Today, PistolStar, Inc. is proud to announce the availability of enhanced functionality for Citrix Storefront 2.5 integration through their innovative SideCar functionality. SideCar, a feature of PistolStar, Inc.’s flagship product, PortalGuard®, enhances the login process for remote HTTP servers on which the PortalGuard platform is not already installed. This feature brings ease of use and productivity gains associated with self-service password reset and forgotten username lookup to the Storefront logon form. Sidecar solves the issue of un-enrolled users by prompting them to perform enrollment of challenge answers, phone numbers and more during the logon to Storefront itself. Additionally, SideCar enables end-users to easily launch directly into a self-service password reset and/or account unlock from the Storefront logon form. PortalGuard’s Sidecar integration utilizes web standards to ensure it works across all browser types without requiring any client-side software.
The innovation has proven to be an important tool to many customers today. We are excited to provide the same benefit to the Citrix Storefront. In addition to its enhanced self-service password reset functionality, PortalGuard for Citrix provides multiple two-factor authentication options, including integration with RADIUS.
