Imprivata extends OneSign's IDM capabilities via integration with IBM Tivoli Identity Manager

Imprivata recently announced that the appliance-based OneSign platform has achieved certified integration status with IBM Tivoli Identity Manager. This integration enables customers to benefit from the easy-to-use, easy-to-manage OneSign solution with integrated user provisioning from Tivoli Identity Manager for improved security and efficient management of user credentials from an employee's first day to last day.

The integration of enterprise single sign-on (ESSO) with user provisioning improves network security, enhances user and IT administrator productivity and can deliver a dramatic reduction in password reset requests to the helpdesk.  The integration between the Imprivata OneSign platform and Tivoli Identity Manager allows:

• Users and their network and application credentials to be automatically provisioned and de-provisioned in OneSign Single Sign-On, eliminating the need to issue passwords to new users
• Instant first day single sign-on to applications and last day lock down of all network and application access

The OneSign-Tivoli Identity Manager integration is the latest in a series of strategic provisioning partnerships enabling Imprivata to realize its vision of delivering enterprise customers with end-to-end user access solutions that are easy-to-use and easy-to-manage.  Imprivata OneSign also integrates with provisioning solutions from Courion and Fischer International, and its standards-based Service Provisioning Markup Language (SPML) interface allows for easy integration with other third-party provisioning solutions as well.
