Organizations with cross-platform environments often spend a
great deal of time and money managing access to their web-based and
enterprise applications. Provisioning and de-provisioning users and
performing password resets drain help desk resources and affect
productivity and user satisfaction. Employee frustration increases
with the number of separate login credentials they need to
remember, and forgetting a password can idle them for hours or days
while waiting for an account reset to restore access to an
application.
Managing access to applications on non-Microsoft systems also
presents security risks. While the Active Directory account of an
exiting employee may be de-provisioned quickly to cut off access to
email and VPN, entitlements to intranets, HR or finance
applications, partner portals, and other applications may not be
disabled for hours, days - or ever.
Join this event to gain a better understanding of the advantages of
implementing web and enterprise application single sign-on. Learn
why tying web, enterprise and B2B applications entitlements to
Active Directory accounts is a simple, cost-effective, and highly
reliable method of addressing IT security best practices and
regulatory compliance.
Perry
Carpenter, Gartner Analyst will examine:
- The security drivers and business challenges associated with
managing entitlements for web and enterprise applications in large,
heterogeneous environments.
- How application access must be managed to meet regulatory
requirements and conform to best security practices.
- The important role Active Directory can play as the central
identity store in complex, cross-platform environments.
Corey Williams, Centrify Director of Product Management
will describe:
- Centrify DirectControl's Kerberos/LDAP support for intranet
single sign-on, and ADFS/SAML support for extranet single
sign-on.
- How DirectControl leverages Active Directory infrastructure to
support web application platforms such as Apache, WebSphere,
WebLogic and JBoss, and ERP apps like SAP.
- The benefits of centrally managing and enforcing passwords and
policies that enable single sign-on, including increased end-user
satisfaction and reduced helpdesk incidents.
- How DirectControl provides a cost-effective solution to
identity federation in partner ecosystems.
You will also receive two complimentary white papers. One covers
SSO and Federation for Java/Web. The other covers SAP SSO on
UNIX/Linux.
