IBM Tivoli Identity Manager (TIM) provides a secure, automated and policy-based user management solution to address these key business issues. Tivoli Identity Manager helps enterprises set up new accounts and passwords quickly for employees and customers, including the ability for users to reset and synchronize their own passwords. And, it allows enterprises to improve visibility into security management operations and quickly produce reports for auditors with predefined reports and audit events.
Increase user and IT efficiency
- Cut elapsed turn-on time for new accounts
- Improve productivity by allowing end users to rapidly reset and synchronize their own passwords
- Decrease errors by automating user submission and approval requests
- Decrease help desk calls by providing Web self-care interfaces to perform password and personal information changes
- Centralized control and local autonomy, which can ensure security and consistent policy on your most sensitive systems
- Lower overhead costs by automatically managing accounts, credentials and access rights throughout the user life-cycle
- Simulate policy changes with powerful "what if" scenarios that show the impact of proposed changes
- Produce centralized reports on security policy, access rights, and audit events to quickly respond to internal audits and regulatory mandates
- Centralize policy-based access control and audit trails across key information systems
- Obtain intelligence and recommended actions on compliance issues, eliminating the need to manually review policies
Tivoli Identity Manager interacts directly with users and with two external types of systems: identity sources and access control mechanisms. The identity systems deliver authoritative information about the users that need accounts. The provisioning system communicates directly with access control systems to create accounts, supply user information and passwords and define the entitlements of the account.
- Web self-service interfaces
- An embedded workflow engine for automated submission and approval of user requests
- An embedded provisioning engine to automate the implementation of administrative requests
- Automatic synchronization of user data from different repositories like human resources databases and enterprise directories
- A sophisticated role-based administration model for delegation of administrative privileges
- Policy simulation that provides powerful "what if" scenarios that take the guesswork out of changing security policies
- Administrator teaming through streamlined notification, bulk to-do items management, and task ownership and delegation
Integration is simplified with broad out-of-the-box support for applications and systems, and universal connectors for extending the management model to new and custom environments.
Tivoli Identity Manager is an integrated component of the IBM identity management solution that can help you get users, systems and applications online and productive fast, reduce costs and maximize return on investment. IBM identity management provides identity lifecycle management (user self-service, enrollment and provisioning), identity control (access and privacy control, single sign-on and auditing), and identity foundation (directory and workflow) to effectively manage internal users as well as an increasing number of customers and partners through the Internet.
