Features

Sun Java System Identity Manager is a single end-to-end solution that protects sensitive data and manages identity profiles and permissions. It helps companies comply with industry regulation and government legislation around key privacy and security issues by providing comprehensive who-has-access-to-what reports as well as key policy enforcement capabilities such as role-based access control.

Identity Manager delivers superior integrated user provisioning and identity synchronization services for:

• Enhanced security

ActiveSync: Detects permission- and/or profile-related changes on target systems and synchronizes them with the rest of the environment, increases operational efficiency and enhances security by using automation to manage change

Dynamic workflow: Automates approval and notification tasks associated with the process of changing access permissions and changes in identity data, reduces support costs and increases operational efficiency by automating tasks
