OpenEye Announces Okta Integration with OWS

Liberty Lake, WASH. – September 27, 2018 – OpenEye, a leading provider of cloud managed video surveillance solutions, announces the integration of the OpenEye Web Services platform with the Okta Identity Cloud to help customers manage user access and permissions of their OpenEye video surveillance system.

The Okta integration allows users to log in to their OWS account using their Okta credentials from both the Okta portal or any OpenEye Web Services portal including the OpenEye mobile app. Okta account managers can also access the OpenEye Web Services user management through the Okta portal to add or remove new users and to manage user permissions including group permissions, simplifying onboarding and offboarding.

“OpenEye is the first video surveillance solution to integrate with Okta Identity Cloud,” said Ian Siemer, VP of Product Management and Marketing for OpenEye. “We are excited to complete development of this integration meeting the needs of our customers who rely on an identity management solution to manage their users.”

The goal of identity management is to ensure that only authenticated users are granted access to the applications, systems or IT environments for which they are authorized. Ensuring that the same user access policies and rules are applied consistently across an organization, including video surveillance systems, adds an additional layer of protection. Okta identity management integrated with OpenEye Web Services provides a secure single sign-on solution that allows user management and user group provisioning from the Okta interface.
