Oracle Identity Manager Training in Bangalore

Benefits of Oracle Identity Manager

• Automating user identity provisioning can reduce IT administration costs and improve security. Provisioning also plays an important role in regulatory compliance. Compliance initiatives focus on the enforcement of corporate policies as well as the demonstration of compliance with these standards.
• An enterprise identity management solution can provide a mechanism for implementing the user management aspects of a corporate policy, as well as a means to audit users and their access privileges. Oracle's enterprise user provisioning solution is Oracle Identity Manager.
• Due to a number of recent government and industry initiatives, corporations must stringently enforce internal controls and regulatory compliance. All organizations with trade-able securities in US markets are required to authorize and validate user identity information for all internal and external users, including their entitlements, as well as the access policies and workflow processes defined by and in use within various divisions in the organization. The process of authorizing established internal controls, processes, policies, programs, and data, is commonly referred to as attestation.
• In most corporate entities, attestation is performed by using manual processes and spreadsheets, which can be very time consuming and costly. Such manual processes are subject to human errors and must be repeated at every audit. By automating these routine tasks, organizations can realize significant time and cost savings. Oracle provides automated attestation using the identity audit and compliance automation component of Oracle Identity Manager.
• Automated attestation capabilities allow organizations to quickly generate reports across the organization's business and IT environment. Automated attestation complements existing internal control mechanisms and provides a means of verifying the data, practices and policies put in place for ensuring compliance.
• This is particularly critical when the user population is large and dynamic. The use of automated attestation features enables organizations to create and follow standard practices and policies across various departments within an organization, while ensuring that the organization is meeting diverse regulatory compliance requirements. This can be achieved without costly, time-consuming, and error-prone manual processes

Features of Oracle Identity Manager Provisioning

Key features and functionalities of Oracle Identity Manager provisioning are:

Scalable Architecture

• The J2EE application server model of Oracle Identity Manager provides scalability, failover, and load-balancing, and inherent Web deployment. Based on an open, standards-based technology, and featuring a three-tier architecture (the Client application, Oracle Identity Manager supported J2EE-compliant Application Server and ANSI SQL-compliant database), Oracle Identity Manager can provision both LDAP and non-LDAP enabled applications.

Extensive User Management

• Oracle Identity Manager includes unlimited user organizational hierarchies and user groups with inheritance, customizable User ID policy management, password policy management, and user access policies that reflect customers' changing business needs.
• Oracle Identity Manager also provides a resource allocation history, and the ability to manage application parameters and entitlements. Delegated administration is also a key element of user management with comprehensive permission settings.

Web-based User Self-Service

• Oracle Identity Manager contains a customizable Web-based user self-service portal with the ability to manage user information, change and synchronize passwords, reset forgotten passwords, request available applications, review and edit available entitlements, and effect or react to workflow tasks.

Powerful and Flexible Process Engine

• With Oracle Identity Manager, you can create business and provisioning process models in easy-to-use applications, such as Microsoft Project and Microsoft Visio. Process models include support for approval workflows and escalations. You can track the progress of each provisioning event, including the current status of the event and error code support.
• Oracle Identity Manager provides support for complex, branching, self-healing processes, and nested processes with data interchange and dependencies. The process flow is fully customizable and does not require programming.

Integration Using the Adapter Factory

• Attempting to support all systems with hand-coded adapters is impractical. Thus, Oracle has developed an automated tool for adapter generation. This tool, the Adapter Factory, supports a wide range of interfaces and virtually any application or device.
• These adapters run on the Oracle Identity Manager server, and do not require agents to be installed or updated on target platforms. In situations where the target application resource does not have a network-enabled interface, you can create remote integration by using UDDI/SOAP-based support.
• With the Adapter Factory, integrations that take months to implement can now be accomplished in a few days. Numerous adapters can be generated instantly. With the Adapter Factory, not only can you keep existing integrations updated, you can also support new integration needs quickly. Oracle Identity Manager has the ability to run programs on external third-party systems using the remote managers.
