Description
CDT provides identity and access management support services for Customers that need to secure access to their web-based portals and applications. CDT’s Identity Management service utilizes the IBM Security Access Manager (ISAM) software suite and also includes support for IBM Security Identity Manager (ISIM). ISIM is a complimentary Identity Management product suite that provides extended controls, role-based user management and provisioning for users in ISAM, and other repositories such as Active Directory (AD) and Resource Access Control Facility (RACF).
- Authentication – Automated process to verify a user’s identity for access
- Authorization – Control user access through the use of policy-based security controls
- HTTPS – Secure transmission of data through TLS protocols and SSL certificates
- Server Obfuscation – Prevents web and application servers from being exposed to the public
- Audit & Logging – Ability to monitor all access attempts and requests by users
- Caching and Compression – Improved delivery of web content by temporarily storing static content and reducing file sizes for transfer
- Load Balancing, Scalability, and High Availability – Distributes processing across multiple servers to increase efficiency, flexibility, and uptime through the use of redundancy
- Single Sign-On (SSO) – Use one set of login credentials to access multiple applications
IBM Security Access Manager (ISAM)
ISAM (formerly Tivoli Access Manager), is a suite of IBM middleware components that provides web portal protection using Identity Management. ISAM provides an authentication and authorization solution while acting as a reverse proxy web server. This is IBM’s end-to-end single sign-on (SSO) policy-based security solution for e-business. ISAM is comprised of three software components, WebSEAL, Policy Server, and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).
- IBM Security Access Manager WebSEAL – A reverse proxy that provides a protected entry point to web portals and applications allowing for user authentication, authorization, and SSO
- IBM Security Access Manager Policy Server – A security application that stores authorization rules used to determine which protected resources a user is allowed to access
- IBM Security Directory Server – An LDAP database and underlying authentication engine that stores user logins and passwords
IBM Security Identity Management (ISIM)
ISIM (formerly Tivoli Identity Manager) is a complimentary IBM middleware solution that integrates with ISAM to centralize the management of user credentials within an organization. ISIM is comprised of three key components: WebSphere Application Server, DB2, and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
- WebSphere Application Server– a Java-based application server that serves as the engine for the ISIM application
- DB2 – a transactional database that serves as the backend repository for the ISIM application
- IBM Security Directory Server (LDAP) – a database and underlying authentication engine that stores user logins and passwords
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
A directory service using Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) as its client-server protocol. IBM Security Directory server is the default directory server for ISAM and ISIM, but can also be deployed as a standalone directory server. LDAP is recognized as an industry standard for directory information. For customers not needing full-scale identity management services, CDT provides support services for standalone LDAP deployments of IBM Security Directory Server.
