Use your existing Active Directory – including multiple AD domains – as the basis for your identity management:
all important identity data is immediately accessible in the IDM-Portal, without an additional database.
IAM solutions require user data. Since most data is already available
in Active Directory, the IDM-Portal accesses it directly. No further database is necessary.
Especially in the public sector, local authorities and city administrations continue to rely on AD to manage identity data.
Reasons for Active Directory as a database:
IDM-Portal is also suitable for hybrid IT environments (AD and
Entra ID).
Active Directory enables the management of users, groups, computers and servers,
as well as shares and permissions.
So why do we need an identity & access management solution?
The management of user identities does not only take place in Active Directory. Other systems such as Entra ID, SharePoint or Exchange are often just as important. This requires specialized knowledge
and procedures that are lengthy and can only be managed by the IT department.
Our IAM solution FirstWare IDM-Portal helps you to efficiently handle identity management in multiple systems. At the same time, it increases data security and enables delegation through simplification and automation.
IDM-Portal enables the complete management of identities.
Thanks to a simple interface, all employees, even those without in-depth IT knowledge can:
The user administration is handled centrally via IDM-Portal. In the background, IDM-Portal connects to your various systems (AD, Entra ID/M365, Exchange, SAP HCM).
In addition, custom-fit roles such as self service and delegation, enable accelerated Active Directory management.
Gain more security by implementing User Access Management with FirstWare IDM-Portal. Assign permissions easily via secure, user-friendly interfaces. You can have all steps of your process:
Thanks to automation, AD (and Entra ID) permissions and attributes update instantly. With continuously updated access permissions, your employees work faster and never access the wrong information.
With the IDM-Portal, it is possible to organize and integrate identity management across multiple domains and even forests.
The delegated management of users and authorizations in a secure AD environment is a challenge that only a few IAM solutions are up to. The IDM-Portal accesses different domain controllers that belong to different domains and have nothing to do with each other. When a search query is made, the IDM-Portal searches all domain controllers and then displays the result as if it comes from a single source. When saving changes, the IDM-Portal correctly assigns the source of the object again and sends the save request to the correct domain controller in the correct domain.
The IDM-Portal is compatible with the ESEA/RedForest/SAE infrastructure and is used by customers as Red Forest user administration, among other things.
Flexible IAM solutions evolve together with a business. Requirements change and can be adapted promptly with IDM-Portal.
Audits and reports not only help with security, but also determine the productivity and needs of the business. With detailed logging, all important information about your company’s user provisioning and authorization assignment is recorded. You can see which users have expired accounts or passwords, how many computer accounts are disabled, or if there are empty groups. This makes it easier to identify improvement factors.
