No Server-Side Credential Storage: The private part of a credential is never stored on a server, eliminating risks and vulnerabilities such as: Insecure password storage in databases (e.g., plaintext or relying on weak hash-based algorithms/constructions). Database leaks exposing passwords. Mandatory, ineffective periodic password changes.
Its purpose is to permit a user to access multiple applications while providing their credentials (such as user ID and password) only once. It also allows web applications to authenticate users without gaining access to a user's security credentials, such as a password. The name CAS also refers to a software package that implements this protocol.

An additional solution, the SQL Server Migration Assistant for Access (SSMA), continues to be available for free download from Microsoft. [54] A variety of upgrading options are available. [55] After migrating the data and queries to SQL Server, the Access database can be linked to the SQL database, subject to data type conversion limitations:
