Introduction Oracle Access Manager is a state-of-the-art solution for both centralized identity management and access control, providing an integrated standards-based solution that delivers authentication, web single sign-on, access policy creation and enforcement, user self-registration and self-service, delegated administration, reporting, and auditing. Oracle Access Manager's unique coupling of access management and identity administration functionality is why it is established as the leading solution for web access management. It excels in complex, heterogeneous enterprise environments and integrates out-of-the-box with all leading directory servers, application servers, web servers, and enterprise applications. Oracle Access Manager is a component of Oracle Fusion Middleware, a well-integrated family of customer-proven software products designed to shine in the most demanding customer environments. Oracle Access Manager helps enterprises create greater levels of business agility, ensure seamless business partner integration, and enable regulatory compliance. Oracle Access Manager's innovative, integrated architecture uniquely combines identity management and access control services to provide centralized authentication, policy-based authorizations, and auditing with rich identity administration functionality such as delegated administration and workflows. By protecting resources at the point of access and delegating authentication and authorization decisions to a central authority, Oracle Access Manager helps secure web, J2EE, and enterprise applications - such as Oracle PeopleSoft - while reducing cost, complexity, and administrative burdens.
Authentication and Access Control Management Oracle Access Manager's Access Server, Policy Manager, out-of-the-box web server plugins called WebGates, and security providers for leading J2EE application servers, work together to intercept access requests to resources, check for a pre-existing authentication, authenticate users, validate credentials, and enforce access policies on protected resources. Oracle Access Manager can match the security level of a protected resource, ensuring that stronger types of authentication or more strict authorization policies are applied to more sensitive applications and services. Features of the authentication and access control service include:
Identity Administration The identity administration service of Oracle Access Manager provides user and group management, password management and self-service. Its scalable architecture and delegated administration functionality enable it to support administration of large user populations in complex, real-world environments. Features of the identity administration service include:
Portal inserts allow the seamless insertion of identity administration
Support for Enterprise Applications Oracle Access Manager integrates with existing e-business infrastructures (such as SAP, Siebel, PeopleSoft, and Oracle eBusiness Suite). It provides pre-built agents to protect, access, and manage all popular third-party web servers, application servers, portals, LDAP directories, email systems, and relational databases. Oracle Access Manager is an integral component of Oracle Fusion Middleware, Oracle’s common infrastructure for application deployment. Compliance Reporting Oracle Access Manager includes unified and centralized audit reporting for all Access Manager components, with all operations stored and correlated in a secure database for reporting and analysis. Oracle Access Manager comes with pre-built identity and security reports and integrates with common reporting tools to give greater visibility and reporting on common events such as user access attempts, successful or failed authentications, or identity administration tasks. These features improve an organization's ability to meet common governmental and industry regulations. Bottom Line Oracle Access Manager is the industry’s most comprehensive identity and access management solution with integrated identity administration, single sign-on, centralized policy management and a compliance-reporting framework. Oracle Access Manager supports a wide variety of authentication mechanisms - for example HTML Forms, X.509 certificates, and smart cards - and has a flexible administration framework for creating, managing, or customizing access control policies. Authentication control and policy enforcement is provided out of the box for a wide variety of web servers, application servers, and packaged applications running on nearly any flavor of operating system, including Windows, SUSE Linux, RedHat Linux, Solaris, AIX, and HP-UX. Oracle Access Manager is the choice for complex, heterogeneous, highly distributed, or massively scaled environments, and has been consistently recognized as the leading web access management solution by the industry's most important analysts. |
