Hi all,
In today’s digital landscape, security is not optional, it’s essential. For financial institutions in particular, the stakes are high: access to sensitive data must be strictly controlled, and authentication processes need to be both airtight and user-friendly. At LexiFi, we take these concerns seriously.
That’s why we’re continuously evolving the way users access LexiFi Apropos. Our goal is clear: to offer the highest level of security while delivering a smooth, modern user experience. The latest milestone in this journey is our support for Single Sign-On (SSO) and passwordless authentication, giving our clients full control over who accesses LexiFi, and how.
Introducing SSO: simpler access, stronger security
Managing multiple passwords is a hassle, and ensuring security across different platforms can be complex. That’s why we’re enhancing authentication in LexiFi Apropos by introducing Single Sign-On (SSO) - a streamlined, secure way for our clients to control access directly from their own authentication systems.
With SSO, users no longer need to remember separate credentials for LexiFi. Instead, they log in just once through their company’s identity provider (Microsoft, Google, Okta, PingFederate etc.), gaining instant access to LexiFi while maintaining their internal security policies.
SSO is available across all deployment types - cloud or on-premise.
How SSO enhances your security and workflow
-
Security and compliance at your fingertips:
- Centralized user management – grant and revoke access in one place.
- Customizable security policies – your organization defines authentication rules (Multi-Factor Authentication, access rights…).
- Instant deactivation – if an employee leaves, they automatically lose access to LexiFi when removed from your SSO directory.
- Client-controlled security – since the login method is handled by your identity provider, LexiFi doesn’t manage your passwords, reducing security risks on our side.
-
A frictionless user experience:
- No more forgotten passwords – users authenticate with credentials they already know.
- Faster access – one secure login to access all integrated systems.
-
Scalability and flexibility:
- Works with any enterprise identity provider.
- Supports OpenID Connect (preferred, easier setup) and SAML 2.0 (as long as preferred protocol isn’t supported).
- Can be configured to support SSO-only access, or paired with additional alternative authentication methods depending on your preferences.
How Passwordless works in LexiFi
In response to client demands, we also support passwordless authentication for LexiFi Apropos, offering a secure and convenient login experience without managing passwords at all.
You can choose from two options:
🔐 Passkeys – users authenticate using a biometric method (fingerprint for example), tied to a secure device.
📩 Email tokens – users receive a one-time login link via email, valid for a limited time and tied to their identity.
Both options are simple to configure and ideal for teams that want to avoid the overhead of password management while still benefiting from strong authentication and streamlined onboarding.
Simple setup and full support
🔧 Custom integration for your security needs
Enterprise SSO requires custom configuration to align with your internal systems. Here’s what the process looks like:
- We synchronize with your IT team to exchange metadata and configure the connection.
- We configure a dedicated LexiFi deployment with your authentication preferences.
- Once enabled, authentication is fully transparent to users and securely handled by your infrastructure.
📞 Ongoing support and collaboration
SSO configurations vary between organizations, and we’re here to make the integration process smooth. Our team will help troubleshoot, refine, and adapt the setup as needed.
LexiFi is constantly listening to its customers and highly values any feedback.
