The VMware technology that an architect can recommend to meet the requirements is C. VMware Identity Manager.
VMware Identity Manager is a product that provides single sign-on (SSO) and application access management for web, mobile, and Windows-based applications. It is a cloud-based or on-premises solution that helps IT administrators securely manage user access to applications, simplify application deployment, and ensure compliance with corporate security policies.
SAML Federation is an industry-standard protocol for exchanging authentication and authorization data between parties, in particular, between an identity provider and a service provider. With SAML Federation, a user logs in once with their credentials, and this information is shared securely between the identity provider and service provider, enabling SSO.
By using VMware Identity Manager, IT administrators can configure SSO for the in-house web application that supports SAML Federation. Users can log in once and access the application securely from any location globally. VMware Identity Manager can also be used to provide access to other applications that users need to access regularly.
VMware User Environment Manager is a solution for managing user settings and profiles across virtual and physical desktop environments. It does not provide SSO or application access management capabilities.
VMware App Volumes is a solution for delivering and managing applications in virtual desktop environments. It does not provide SSO or application access management capabilities.
VMware Horizon View is a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) solution that enables users to access virtual desktops and applications from any device. While it can provide secure access to applications, it does not provide SSO or application access management capabilities.
