Identity managementIdentity Management (IdM) is an integrated system of business processes, policies and technologies that enable organizations to facilitate and control their users' access to critical online applications and resources — while protecting confidential personal and business information from unauthorized users. Represents a category of interrelated solutions that are employed to administer Authentication , access rights, access restrictions, account profiles, passwords, and other attributes supportive of users' roles/profiles on one or more applications or systems. Solutions which fall under the category of Identity Management: Management of Identities * Provisioning/Deprovisioning of accounts * Workflow Automation * Delegated Administration * Password_synchronization * Self_Service_Password_Reset Access Control * Policy based Access Control * business /Legacy Single_signon (SSO) * Web Single Sign On (SSO) * Reduced Sign On Directory Services * Identity Repository (directory services for administration of user account attributes) * Meta-data Replication/Synchronization Other categories * Role-Based Access control (RBAC) * Federation of user access rights on web applications across otherwise untrusted networks ==See also== * Single sign-on * Directory service * metadirectory and virtual directory * LDAP ==External links== ===Commercial/Freeware Authorization=== *[http://www.gnu.org/software/radius/radius.html Gnu Free Authorization] *[http://www.aradial.com Aradial Authorization] Software Computer security Identity management systems Identity managementThe term, "Identity Management," is often mistakenly interchanged with the specific solution classes that fall under the Identity Management category. For example, it is not uncommon to hear people say things like, "We need Identity Management so that our users can reset their own passwords". This supposes that Identity Management is synonymous with Self-Service Password Reset. You may also hear people say things like, "If only we had Single Sign-On, we would be able to disable all of an ex-employee's accounts simultaneously when s/he is terminated". This seems to incorrectly assume that Single Sign-On also includes Central Deprovisioning and a central Identity Repository. While combinations of Identity Management solutions are often (and necessarily) deployed together, one does not necessarily embed the capabilities of the other.
