Active Directory
Customized IAM solution based on your AD
Use your existing systems such as Active Directory as the basis of your IAM solution:
all important identity data can be retrieved immediately, without an additional database.
Active Directory and Identity & Access Management
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 Azure AD, 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.
An IAM solution like FirstWare IDM-Portal helps to handle
identity management efficiently and increase
data security through simplification and automation.
Identity Management System based on AD
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.
Reasons for AD as the basis of an IAM solution:
- data is already available
- no further systems (databases) necessary
- secure and organized data source
- easy synchronization with Azure AD
- faster – time saving
- cheaper – cost saving
IDM-Portal is also suitable for hybrid IT environments (AD and
Azure AD).
The advantages
No further database
Up-to-date data in real time
Secure, fast and cost effective
IDM-Portal as an AD-based IAM solution
Identity Management
IDM-Portal enables the complete management of identities.
Thanks to a simple interface, all employees, even those without in-depth IT knowledge can:
- manage users
- create mailboxes
- edit data
- reset passwords
- and much more
The user administration is handled centrally via IDM-Portal. In the background, IDM-Portal connects to your various systems (AD, AAD, Exchange, SAP HCM).
In addition, custom-fit roles such as self service and delegation, enable accelerated Active Directory management.
Access 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:
- authorized with approval workflows
- delegated with role based access control
- automated – in real time or time-controlled
Thanks to automation, AD (and Azure AD) permissions and attributes update instantly. With continuously updated access permissions, your employees work faster and never access the wrong information.
Audit
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.
