Sun Microsystems
Sun Microsystems describes their Identity Management offerings as follows:
- Sun Java™ System Identity Manager: Identity Manager combines identity lifecycle management and compliance automation in one solution. Identity lifecycle management keeps track of what a user should have access to, while identity auditing keeps track of what the user does have access to. Identity Manager makes sure the two are aligned. This prevents many compliance violations and allows quick remediation of violations when they do occur.
- Sun Java™ System Access Manager: Access Manager delivers a single solution for authorizing and authenticating all user requests for secure applications and services—whether they come from within the organization or from an external partner or vendor through an extranet. By combining open, standards-based access control with secure access capabilities such as single sign-on, this solution minimizes the security and business risks associated with conducting business more openly.
- Sun Java™ System Federation Manager: Federation Manager makes the process of integrating with partners easily repeatable. Using features such as extranet single sign-on to authenticate users across domains, Federation Manager enables organizations to collaborate securely with a virtually infinite number of business partners without having to create a new secure infrastructure for collaboration every time.
- Sun Java™ System Directory Server Enterprise Edition: Directory Server Enterprise Edition is a secure, highly available, easy-to-manage directory solution that streamlines the management of diverse identities from intranet and extranet sources. It delivers seamless integration with Microsoft Active Directory via on-demand password synchronization between Microsoft Windows environments and the Directory Server environment.
