The purpose of integrated identity is to:
- make services easier for people to use, by having fewer different accounts
- improve security
- reduce administration costs.
To integrate identity we use the following tools:
Microsoft Active Directory
- Active Directory (AD) as a core directory service, and AD Lightweight Directory Services (ADLDS) as an identity service for internet or extranet applications
- AD Federation Services (ADFS) to link AD authentication across organisational boundaries
- Identity Lifecycle Manager 2007 to manage user accounts and digital certificates.
Gemalto
- Gemalto Smart Card authentication. Now a native authentication method for Vista. Can be used for any smart card authenticated service, including remote access, finance systems, and building access.
The Dot Net Factory EmpowerID Suite
- WebManager to delegate AD user and group administration to non-technical staff
- WhitePages as a corporate directory of staff and contacts
- MyInfo to enable users to maintain their account information in AD
- MyPassword for web-based password change and recovery.
Sun Java System
- Directory Server as a core directory service for non-Microsoft or mixed environments
- Federation Manager to work across different organisations or security boundaries
- Access Manager for logon
- Identity Manager for provisioning and account management.
M-Tech
- PSynch for password synchronisation across mainframe, Unix and Windows: for example for SAP or Oracle.
Standards
- LDAP, Kerberos, Radius, SSL to integrate other services securely with directory service.
