Purisma Launches Revolutionary Solution for Custom…

The basic concept seems to be similar to that developed by SRD that IBM purchased this year. This whole section of knowlege generation through correlation whether it is through desktop content or database content is something that would be interesting to watch. And the next step that would come in is who is allowed to see the information that is found this way.
So due to privacy issue it would be really tough to use these type of products across multiple channels of the companies. Before the companies really go ahead and start doing these corelations they will really need think a lot!

Vendor List

Updated: November 12 2006 I am trying to come up with the list of vendors and associated products in the Identity and Access Management arena. Please note that this list is based on marketing/public information and my understanding of the terms which may not comply with any specific groups' definitions and/or requirements. This is by no means a complete list and will keep growing as I get more time to add them and find more companies (any help on that front will be really appreciated). Before we go further along, lets try to define what each of these product typically do so that my mode of classification may make sense or any flaw in my classfication will become apparant. Identity Management/User Provisioning These products typically provide the facility of Workflow-based Identity provisioning, password reset, identity reconciliation/discovery, delegated identity administration and self-service features on wide variety of identity platforms (like LDAP, Unix, Windows, Mainfra...

Understanding IAM Technology: Web Single Sign On (Web SSO) Part I - Introduction and Use Case Definition

Image
Update September 6, 2015: Part II in the series is now available . Update August 19,2006: I am rewriting this entry based on the methodology I am using for some of other domains. Hopefully, the new methodology would make it more useful to some of you. I talk to a lot of people from developer background who still do not have a good background in the IAM technology. Eventhough there is a lot of information on the web, I have felt a lack of good technological discussion on the various component that  actually form the IAM domain. Some of the good sources for the information on IAM are Microsoft Identity and Access Management Series Archie Reed Oracle Federated Identity Buyers guide Oracle Identity Management Buyer's Guide Identity Management Dissected Most of these document discuss the basic concepts but do not extend it to existing technologies and how it applies to them. This series is an attempt to look at the technology behind the Identity and access m...

Reclaiming your account: Password Reset/Forgot Password

Image
This is probably one of the oldest functionality that is part of any password based system and by now I was hoping that people will have figured out most of the ways of doing it. But while reading answers on stackoverflow on this topic, I was impressed by new ways being developed and implemented by developers in wild. While reading the discussion I felt that there is lack of a structure to look and study this functionality and this post is an attempt to define a structure. Before I go there, I wanted to capture my understanding of the password reset functionality. Why - Well if we are not noting down all the accounts we have created in life (either electronically or manually), it is possible that we are going to forget passwords for some accounts as we age. Even if you follow some techniques like having standard passwords across all your accounts, due to site limitations, change in word preferences, etc, you may not remember the applicable password for a site and so the lifesaver Why...
