IDM Source for users

[Former Member]

Hi Guys,

We are looking to use IDM and wanted some advice on the typical source of users to populate IDM, this is a Greenfield implementation.

My current view is the following,

IDM is connected to Active Directory which has all our users 20K we therefore populate IDM with these users, this then provions the users to all of our backend systems .....

When a user logs in to the network, authenticates against AD they then sign in to Portal for SSO which authenticates against AD if successful the user has access to the backend systems where the user has been provisioned from IDM

Would this work, so one ID across the landscape ???

Any help appreciated as always

Sounds like perfectly feasible scenario which is well covered by IdM.

Besides the basis-setup you need a good Business Role (IdM role) model that enables you to provision to multiple systems.

Nick,

In my experience there are three major sources of Identity Data:

1. The HR system, using the LDAP connector for HCM or flat file /database feeds for other HR systems.

2. An Enterprise directory - usually this is updated by another system such as HR

3. Direct entry into the IDM system - usually reserved for consultants, temps or special cases.

All of these should allow for the basic setup of the user and setting a password,

Regards,

Matt
