Identity Management

In order to effectively compete in today's business environment, companies are increasing the number of users -- customers, employees, partners and suppliers -- that are allowed to access information. As IT is challenged to do more with fewer resources, managing user identities and their access to resources throughout the identity lifecycle is even more difficult. Typical IT environments have many local administrators using manual processes to implement user changes across multiple systems and applications. As identity management grows more costly, it can inhibit the development and deployment of new business initiatives.

The IBM Tivoli identity management solution can help you get users, systems and applications online and productive fast, maintain dynamic compliance to increase the resiliency and security of the IT environment, while helping to reduce costs and maximize return on investment. This flexible, easy to deploy solution can automate and simplify the management of user identities, access rights and privacy policies across the e-business infrastructure. To effectively manage internal users as well as an increasing number of customers and partners through the Internet, IBM Tivoli provides the only integrated solution that addresses all four key areas of identity management:

  • Identity lifecycle management (user self-care, enrollment and provisioning)
  • Identity control (access and privacy control, single sign-on and auditing)
  • Identity federation (sharing user authentication and attribute information between trusted Web services applications)
  • Identity foundation (directory, directory integration and workflow)

This scalable IBM Tivoli identity management solution also supports open standards, which can speed deployment and help reduce costs. Integration is provided with other IBM core technologies, such as IBM WebSphere Application Server, WebSphere MQ, IBM Tivoli Directory Server and Lotus Domino. Security can be extended to UNIX and Linux environments, providing a consistent security implementation across the organization.
