IBM Tivoli Access Manager for e-business is a versatile solution for authentication and authorization problems. It manages growth and complexity, controls management costs, and addresses the difficulty of executing security policies across a wide range of Web and application resources.

Benefits

• Define and manage a centralized authentication, access, and audit policy for a broad range of business initiatives such as employee, customer and partner portals, CRM systems, e-procurement, cross-company single sign-on (SSO) projects, and outsourcing projects.
• Establish a new audit and reporting service which collects audit data from multiple enforcement points as well as from other platforms and security applications. A central point for reporting on security events and sample reports are included
• Enable a flexible SSO to Web-based applications that can span multiple sites or domains with a range of SSO options, to help eliminate help-desk calls and other security problems associated with multiple passwords. By integrating with other SSO providers (such as Kerberos from a Microsoft domain logon, and client/server SSO solutions) Access Manager goes beyond 'reduced sign-on' to help implement a single authentication for the user across all system interactions. For standardized cross-domain authentication (federation) using SAML, Liberty ID/FF, and WS-Federation, Tivoli Access Manager for e-business customers can also upgrade to Tivoli Federated Identity Manager.
• Leverage a common security policy model with the Tivoli Access Manager family of products to extend support to other resources, such as WebSphere® MQ applications, and UNIX and Linux system resources.
• Provide a base for federation: Companies that choose to collaborate in identity-based business processes may benefit from IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager's ability to help simplify integration between companies and their partners' Web sites. Federated SSO solutions, such as Tivoli Federated Identity Manager add standardized cross-domain SSO (SAML, Liberty, WS-Federation) to a security system. However these typically need first-point-of-contact and session management to already be in place; Access Manager fills that role (and Access Manager for e-business customers can upgrade to Tivoli Federated Identity Manager if federation becomes a requirement in the future).
• Manages and secures business environments from the existing hardware (mainframe, PCs, servers) and operating system platforms including Windows, Linux, AIX, Solaris, and HP-UX.
