Case Study: City Utilities of Springfield secures PeopleSoft SSO and remote access with Pathlock

City Utilities Of Springfield Strengthen PeopleSoft User Authentication & Remote Access Security With Pathlock

City Utilities of Springfield, a Springfield, Missouri-based energy and utilities provider, wanted to unify enterprise login with Microsoft ADFS across its applications but found that PeopleSoft did not support standard SAML SSO. The team also needed finer-grained control over remote access so employees could use low-risk self-service functions from mobile devices while protecting sensitive payroll and financial data.

To solve both issues, City Utilities of Springfield implemented Pathlock Native for PeopleSoft, using Pathlock’s SAML SSO and context-aware access controls. Pathlock enabled seamless SSO integration without custom development, centralized authentication, and restricted high-risk transactions outside the corporate network while still allowing safe Employee Self-Service access. The result was simpler administration, improved remote access flexibility, and stronger security for PeopleSoft users.
