Imprivata Extends Onesign’s Identity Management Capabilities with Integration with
IBM Tivoli Identity Manager
Integration Enables Customers to Combine Authentication and Access Management with
Popular Provisioning Solution for Holistic Identity-Centric Security
LEXINGTON, MA - January 26, 2009 - Imprivata®, Inc., the converged authentication
and access management company announced that its appliance-based OneSign® Platform
has achieved certified integration status with IBM Tivoli Identity Manager. This
integration enables customers to benefit from the easy-to-use, easy-to-manage OneSign
solution with integrated user provisioning from Tivoli Identity Manager for improved
security and efficient management of user credentials from an employee’s first day
to last day.
“Day-one productivity for new employees is important, especially in today’s economic
environment, but security must not be compromised in the rush to get team members
up and running quickly,” said Omar Hussain, president and CEO of Imprivata. “Partnering
with IBM and integrating OneSign with the Tivoli Identity Manager provides organizations
with a popular provisioning option to manage user credentials while providing secure
and efficient access to facilities, networks and applications for employees.”
Integrating single sign-on (SSO) with user provisioning provides greater network
security, improved user and IT administrator productivity and a dramatic reduction
in password reset requests to the help desk. The integration between the Imprivata
OneSign platform and Tivoli Identity Manager allows:
- Users and their network and application credentials to be automatically provisioned
and de-provisioned in OneSign Single Sign-On, eliminating the need to issue passwords
to new users
- Instant first day single sign-on to applications and last day lock down of all network
and application access
The OneSign-Tivoli Identity Manager integration is the latest in a series of strategic
provisioning partnerships enabling Imprivata to realize its vision of delivering
enterprise customers with end-to-end user access solutions that are easy-to-use and
easy-to-manage. Imprivata OneSign also integrates with provisioning solutions from
Courion and Fischer International, and its standards-based Service Provisioning Markup
Language (SPML) interface allows for easy integration with other third-party provisioning
solutions as well.
