The newest version of Oracle Identity Management is 11g. Identified by Oracle as the industry’s first Service-Oriented Security architecture, Oracle Identity Management 11g simplifies application security via its shared services for identity administration and password management, strong authentication and authorization, and workflow and auditing. The new software's services-based architecture easily extends to cloud environments and provides a single point of control for applications, whether they are housed on-premises or in the cloud.

Key enhancements:

• Oracle Identity Manager 11g: full-featured identity administration and provisioning with integrated user and role administration, as well as Universal Delegated Administration based on fine grained authorization policies and self service request and approval models based on open, flexible BPEL workflows

• Oracle Access Manager 11g: Single Sign-On (SSO) for enterprise web applications, now providing in-memory session management based on Oracle Coherence. Additionally, SSO Security Zones support secure application boundaries

• Oracle Adaptive Access Manager 11g: Enterprise fraud prevention with One Time Password Anywhere, which delivers one-time password support through short message service (SMS), Interactive Voice Response, email and instant messaging

• Oracle Identity Analytics 11g: Enterprise Compliance and Governance combining business intelligence and security, while running on a rich Identity Warehouse; features include Cert360, an intelligent 360 degree view of an organization’s security and compliance health

• Oracle OpenSSO Fedlet and OpenSSO STS 11g: full integration and certification of Sun’s Fedlet for rapid on-boarding of federation partners, as well as the Secure Token Service (STS) functionality of Sun Open SSO STS for identity propagation

• Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control Management Pack for Identity Management 11g: advanced monitoring, diagnostics and performance management for all Oracle Identity Management 11g components.

"The innovation and integration advancements in Oracle Identity Management 11g represent the most significant breakthroughs in identity management in the last five years,” said Amit Jasuja, vice president, Oracle Identity Management. “Traditionally, being best of breed and fully integrated were at opposite sides of the spectrum, but Oracle Identity Management 11g sets a new bar by delivering both.”

Oracle Identity Management's best-in-class suite of Identity Management solutions allows enterprises to manage the end-to-end lifecycle of user identities across all enterprise resources both within and beyond the firewall. Users can deploy applications faster, apply the most granular protection to enterprise resources, automatically eliminate latent access privileges, among others things, with this latest release.

Oracle Identity Management 11g is a component of Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g.

A document has been published covering all the aspects of the identity services provided by Oracle Identity Management: directory services, identity administration, access control, platform and web services security, identity and access governance, operational manageability, and service integration within the identity management suite and with other Oracle and non-Oracle environments. It is written for a line-of-business and Information Technology (IT) audience, including application developers and application development managers, security architects, and systems and security administrators.
