Security & access
Single Sign-On (SSO): simple,
secure access to your inventory
Access the Hector inventory software through your single sign-on (SSO).
One login, no more multiple connections or passwords to remember.
What is single sign-on (SSO)?
Single sign-on (SSO) lets you access several services from a single account and a single login. Instead of creating and remembering separate credentials for each tool, your employees log in to Hector with the account they already use in your organization.
For Hector, identity and access management is handled directly by the application: access is faster for your teams, and simpler to administer for your IT department.
The benefits for your organization
Simplified access
Log in to Hector in a few clicks, with the account your employees already have. Less friction, less time lost.
Fewer passwords, more security
One login to remember, so no more passwords reused from one tool to the next, one of the main sources of risk. Authentication stays centralized and secure.
Directory synchronization
Hector syncs your employee directory with Active Directory: no manual account entry, and a directory that stays up to date.
Centralized access management
Identities and access are managed in one place. Your teams reach the relevant information when they need it, under your IT department’s control.
How is it set up?
Setup is simple:
1. Connect your identity provider
Hector integrates with your SSO, notably via Active Directory or OneLogin.
2. Sync your directory
Automatically import your employee directory from Active Directory, with no manual entry.
3. Your teams log in with SSO
Each employee accesses Hector with their existing account, with a single login.
With or without SSO
| Criteria | SSO access | Separate accounts |
|---|---|---|
| Logins to remember | One, already known to the employee | One more, specific to Hector |
| Login experience | Log in in a few clicks | Account creation and manual entry |
| Cybersecurity risk | Reduced (centralized login) | Higher |
| Account creation | Synced from Active Directory | Manual entry |
| Administration | Centralized for IT | Managed tool by tool |

Your questions, answered
What is single sign-on (SSO)?
It is a login method that lets you access several services with a single account and a single login. Your employees log in to Hector with the account they already use.
Which identity providers does Hector support?
Hector integrates notably with Active Directory and OneLogin.
Is SSO more secure than separate accounts?
It reduces the number of passwords to manage and limits their reuse from one tool to the next, while centralizing access management, all factors that strengthen security.
Can you sync your employee directory?
Yes. Hector syncs your directory with Active Directory, which avoids manual account entry and keeps it up to date.
What is the difference between SSO and directory sync?
SSO concerns authentication (logging in with a single account); directory sync concerns provisioning (creating and updating accounts from your directory). The two are complementary.
Is setup complicated?
No. Connecting the identity provider and syncing the directory are simple to configure.
