Identity and Access Management

Lighthouse Gateway’s Identity Management Solutions drive consistent, timely, and accurate identity information across the IT enterprise.

Your enterprise is facing more identity-related challenges today than ever before; and it’s only going to become more complex. In addition to the growing number of systems and applications available to your enterprise, the number of users continues to multiply while regulations, both public and corporate, are placing stronger governance requirements on identity data. Your enterprise will likely encompass an ever-expanding base of employees, customers, partners and suppliers. Managing these identities has become complicated and costly due to issues regarding data synchronization, integrity, compliance, and administration.

Lighthouse Gateway’s web-based Identity Management (IDM) solution drives consistent, timely, and accurate identity information throughout your enterprise. Gateway Identity Management services allow for synchronization, transformation and policy-driven control over this information, including provisioning and deprovisioning across multiple databases and directories for user, account, and group/role information. Gateway’s Identity Management (IDM) capabilities address pressing business needs such as:

Inaccurate Personnel Data Discrepancies Between Disparate Identity Repositories Automating Manual Human Workflows Provisioning and De-Provisioning Users

While conventional Identity Management (IDM) solutions may require extensive custom development to build identity workflows and synchronization processes, the Gateway’s innovative technologies allow clients to build, test, and deploy such configurations in a matter of hours versus weeks or months. Using a wizard-driven approach to Identity Management (IDM) configuration, the Gateway Manager’s interface can guide even an inexperienced administrator through the setup of such workflows while abstracting the complexities of the underlying business logic and deployment.

From a governance perspective, the Gateway Manager provides detailed dashboards to allow administrators access to both overview and drill-down status of their Identity Management (IDM) environment. A three dimensional, virtual datacenter graphical interface allows administrators to intuitively interact with their directory stores and associated connections to the Identity Management (IDM) system.

Lighthouse Gateway’s Access Management Solution provides a comprehensive, policy driven mechanism to manage user access to applications across an enterprise.

Today’s enterprise includes dozens of applications, systems, databases, and web sites for employees, customers and partners—all of which require their own access policies. While it is possible for you to maintain separate access policies and access control mechanisms for each of these components, this produces increased complexities and costs, including:

Higher management costs Increased time-to-production Potentially inconsistent policies Policies embedded within application code High potential for security vulnerabilities

Lighthouse Gateway’s Access Management solution consolidates your disparate access control mechanisms and disjoint access policies into a robust, easy-to-manage, and consistent policy-driven system. Gateway’s Access Management solution provides benefits such as:

Single point of access control administration Single Sign-On (SSO) across the application ecosystem Decreased time-to-production for new systems Point-and-click changes to access control policy No need for explicit security code within applications Multi-factor authentication And more

The Gateway’s Access Management services are compatible with:

Any web-based systems J2EE and .NET web applications Enterprise portals Service Oriented Architecture environments (Web Services and Enterprise Service Bus technologies) Federated business-to-business environments
