Simplify Access, Strengthen Security, and Integrate Seamlessly With Your Institution
Single Sign-On (SSO/IAM) & Security | ELabELN Features

One Login for Everything. No More Password Chaos.

How many passwords do you manage for lab systems? Email, equipment scheduling, LIMS, order management, and now your electronic notebook. Every separate login means another password to remember, reset, or compromise. Every new team member means manually creating accounts across multiple systems. Single Sign-On (SSO) solves this. Log in once using your institutional credentials, and access ELabELN automatically. No separate passwords to manage. No account creation overhead. No security vulnerabilities from weak or reused passwords. Your IT department manages authentication centrally while you focus on research.

SSO does more than eliminate password headaches. It strengthens security by leveraging your institution's authentication policies, enables automatic user provisioning when new team members join, and removes access immediately when people leave without manually disabling multiple accounts. Multi-factor authentication, password complexity rules, and session management all flow from your institutional policies. For labs working within larger organizations, SSO integration means ELabELN fits seamlessly into existing security infrastructure rather than creating another system to manage separately.

SSO and Security Features That Simplify Access Without Compromising Protection

ELabELN's Single Sign-On and identity management capabilities eliminate the friction of multiple logins while strengthening security through institutional integration. From automatic user provisioning to centralized access control, these features ensure your team works efficiently within your organization's security framework.

Seamless Institutional Integration
  • Enterprise SSO Support

    Integrate with your institution's identity provider using SAML 2.0, OAuth 2.0, or OpenID Connect protocols. Support for Active Directory, Azure AD, Google Workspace, Okta, and other major identity platforms. Users log in with familiar institutional credentials they already know.

  • Automatic User Provisioning

    New team members gain ELabELN access automatically when added to your institutional directory. No manual account creation. No waiting for admin approval. When someone joins your lab group, they can start working immediately using their existing institutional login.

  • Instant Access Revocation

    When team members leave, disabling their institutional account removes ELabELN access immediately. No separate account management. No lingering access to research data. Offboarding becomes automatic and secure without manual intervention across multiple systems.

Simplified Access Management
  • Group-Based Access Control

    Map institutional groups to ELabELN permissions automatically. Members of your "Research Group A" get appropriate access without individual configuration. Reorganize teams in your directory, and permissions update automatically in ELabELN.

  • Single Credential for All Access

    Users remember one password managed by your institution's policies. Password resets, complexity requirements, and rotation schedules all handled centrally. Eliminate the password fatigue that leads to weak credentials or insecure password reuse.

  • Unified Multi-Factor Authentication

    Leverage your institution's MFA implementation. Users authenticate with methods they already use for email and other systems. No separate authentication apps or tokens for ELabELN. Security strengthens without adding complexity.

Enhanced Security Policies
  • Centralized Security Policy Enforcement

    Your institutional security policies apply automatically to ELabELN. Session timeout rules, network access restrictions, device requirements, and authentication strength all flow from central IT policies. Maintain consistent security posture across all systems.

  • Session Management and Timeout Control

    Enforce institutional session policies. Automatic logout after inactivity periods, session limits, or forced reauthentication for sensitive operations. Protect against unauthorized access from unattended computers without requiring users to remember to log out.

  • IP Restriction and Network Access Control

    Limit ELabELN access to specific networks or IP ranges. Allow access only from campus networks, VPN connections, or approved locations. Integrate with your institution's network security policies to prevent unauthorized access from outside locations.

Compliance and Audit Integration
  • Centralized Audit Logging

    Authentication events, access attempts, and user activities integrate with institutional logging systems. Security teams see ELabELN access patterns alongside other system activity. Satisfy audit requirements with comprehensive identity and access management records.

  • Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

    Define roles matching your organizational structure and map them to institutional groups. Researchers, supervisors, administrators, and auditors get appropriate access automatically based on their organizational position.

  • Compliance with Institutional Standards

    Meet institutional security requirements automatically through SSO integration. HIPAA, FERPA, export control, or other compliance frameworks enforced at the identity layer apply to ELabELN without separate configuration.
