In January 2005 Bull Evidian announced that it was partnering with Oracle to provide enhanced solutions and additional benefits to their clients in the growing Identity and Access Management (IAM) market.
As a Certified Partner in the Oracle PartnerNetwork and recognized Identity and Access Management leader, Evidian has developed compatible solutions that extend Oracle Identity Management (OIM) capabilities-Oracle`s enterprise identity infrastructure.
By integrating with Oracle Internet Directory (OID), one of the main components of OIM, AccessMaster provides additional capabilities in the areas of authentication (Single Sign-On) and user life-cycle management (User Provisioning).
OIM provides native Single Sign-On (SSO) to the web applications it enables. Relying on OID as an authoritative source, along with other LDAP-accessible directories, Evidian`s AccessMaster will provide Secure Single Sign-On to all enterprise applications, including enterprise client-server, legacy, Java-enabled and Citrix-published applications. Transparent, this secure SSO does not require any modification of the target application. AccessMaster`s administration console offers a central point for user identity management, as well as in other target applications and resources.
The partnership brings the following benefits to customers:
* Native integration with OID, enabling companies to leverage their existing Oracle user repository as an enterprise authoritative source for Identity Management
* Secure SSO to any type of application
* Central user administration including user provisioning for OID-enabled and other applications
"By supporting OID, Evidian adds one of the most scalable and secure User ID sources to its list of supported LDAP-accessible directories. We are pleased to capitalize on our long-lasting partnership with Oracle by developing solutions that tightly integrate the access control and SSO requirements of Oracle applications in our leading IAM modular suite." says Philippe Pradat, Product Group Director at Evidian.
"We welcome Bull Evidian as a provider of an enterprise secure SSO and IAM solution able to complement our security solutions. We worked with Bull Evidian to help them certify their product with Oracle and we provided technical assistance and resources to achieve integration in the most efficient manner. Evidian through their flagship product AccessMaster brings global user administration from a unique console including user provisioning for OID-enabled and other applications." says John Gawkowski, Vice President, Business Development for Server Technologies at Oracle Corp.
