IBM Tivoli Access Manager for Enterprise Single-sign On

IBM Tivoli Access Manager for Enterprise Single Sign-On V5.0 (TAM E-SSO) is a Enterprise Single Sign-On solution powered by Passlogix technology. TAM E-SSO provides single sign-on with all of your applications but 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, TAM E-SSO's architecture supports your technical requirements and computing environment.

TAM E-SSO's client-side software enables it to recognize and respond to password requests from almost any system or application. TAM E-SSO supports different types of user authentication from password to smart cards to biometrics, and can store user credentials and its own system settings and policies in any LDAP directory or one of several SQL databases. The administrative console simplifies administrative tasks by automatically recognizing and configuring applications for sign-on with minimal effort by the administrator. Enterprise users may achieve sub-second single sign-on while connected or disconnected to the corporate network, while roaming between computers, or while sharing a kiosk with multiple users.

In most organizations, end users have to know, remember and enter their application credentials. This is a particular hassle on the first day a user begins work or takes on a new set of responsibilities and permissions. But when an organization uses Tivoli Access Manager for Enterprise Single Sign-On Provisioning Adapter, application credential provisioning and de-provisioning between Tivoli Identity Manager and Tivoli Access Manager for Enterprise Single Sign-On are automated. Consequently, organizations no longer need to physically distribute credentials to end users who must enter them manually into Tivoli Access Manager for Enterprise Single Sign-On.

Instead, administrators directly create, edit and delete user credentials through Tivoli Identity Manager. End users can enjoy single sign-on from day one and are no longer responsible for keeping track of their own application credentials - all while helping maximize security.

When end users no longer need access to systems, the integration between the Tivoli applications enables Tivoli Identity Manager to not only remove the users' system and application access but also automatically delete their credentials from the Tivoli Access Manager for Enterprise Single Sign-On data store. Controlling the appropriate level of access helps maximize security and assists with compliance initiatives by demonstrating enforcement of internal controls to auditors.
