Identity Management Advanced Design For Ibm Tivoli Identity Manager

Identity and user lifecycle management projects are being deployed more and more frequently - and demand is growing. By demonstrating how IBM Tivoli Identity Manager can be made resilient and adapted to special functional requirements, this IBM Redbooks publication creates or enhances confidence in the IBM Tivoli Identity Manager-based solution for senior management, architects, and security administrators. Advanced design topics can start with infrastructure availability for all involved components, Web application, and database server clustering as well as LDAP multi-master setups, continuing with compliance challenges addressing enhanced auditing and reporting, and designing and creating your own self-care/self-registration application environment that embraces external users and business partners offering fine-tuned workflow options and lifecycle management capabilities. The powerful features and extensions of IBM Tivoli Identity Manager are opening doors into a world of advanced design and customization for every identity management challenge you might encounter. Please note that the additional material referenced in the text is not available from IBM.

Identity management is the concept of providing a unifying interface to manage all aspects related to individuals and their interactions with the business. It is the process that enables business initiatives by efficiently managing the user life cycle (including identity/resource provisioning for people (users)), and by integrating it into the required business processes. Identity management encompasses all the data and processes related to the representation of an individual involved in electronic transactions. This IBM® Redbooks® publication provides an approach for designing an identity management solution with IBM Tivoli® Identity Manager Version 5.1. Starting from the high-level, organizational viewpoint, we show how to define user registration and maintenance processes using the self-registration and self-care interfaces as well as the delegated administration capabilities. Using the integrated workflow, we automate the submission/approval processes for identity management requests, and with the automated user provisioning, we take workflow output and automatically implement the administrative requests on the environment with no administrative intervention. This book is a valuable resource for security administrators and architects who wish to understand and implement a centralized identity management and security infrastructure.

How to deal with IBM Tivoli Identity Manager Changes? What vendors make products that address the IBM Tivoli Identity Manager needs?

Everyone feels the pain of too many passwords to remember. Everyone can relate to the security exposure of weak passwords, chosen for convenience. And, everyone can relate to passwords placed in proximity to the workstation for a quick reminder. Unfortunately, that note can allow more than the intended user into the system and network. The average user today often has four or more passwords. And, security policies that focus on password complexity and password-change frequency can cause even more difficulty for users. This IBM® Redbooks® publication introduces IBM Security Access Manager for Enterprise Single Sign-On 8.2, which provides single sign-on to many applications, without a lengthy and complex implementation effort. Whether you are deploying strong authentication, implementing an enterprise-wide identity management initiative, or simply focusing on the sign-on challenges of a specific group of users, this solution can deliver the efficiencies and security that come with a well-crafted and comprehensive single sign-on solution. This book is a valuable resource for security officers, administrators, and architects who want to understand and implement an identity management solution in a medium-scale environment. This book is an update to the existing SG24-7350-01. IMPORTANT: Please note that in the latest version of SAM ESSO, the following two capabilities described in this SAM ESSO Redbooks publication have been removed: -Virtual appliance support -Mobile (iPad) support

IBM® Security Access Manager is a modular, integrated access management appliance that helps secure access to web, mobile, and cloud workloads. It is offered both as a physical appliance and as a virtual appliance image that runs on several popular hypervisors. The integrated appliance form factor enables easier and more flexible deployment and maintenance. This IBM RedpaperTM publication describes the different Security Access Manager Appliance V9.0 deployment patterns and uses hands-on examples to demonstrate how to initially configure systems in those deployments. It also describes various deployment considerations, such as networking, high-availability, performance, disaster recovery, and scalability. All of these deployment patterns are covered within the context of realistic business scenarios. This paper is especially helpful to Security Access Manager architects and deployment specialists.
