Industry's First Service-Oriented Security Approach to Identity Management
WASHINGTON, July 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- News Facts
-- As part of today's Oracle(R) Fusion Middleware 11g launch, Oracle
announced the availability of the first components of Oracle Identity
Management 11g including Oracle Platform Security Services, Oracle
Internet Directory 11g, Oracle Virtual Directory 11g, and Oracle
Identity Federation 11g. -- Oracle Platform Security Services (OPSS), a new layer for security
services available through Oracle Fusion Middleware, delivers the
industry's first Service-Oriented Security foundation. As a
comprehensive declarative security framework Oracle Platform Security
Services allows developers to easily build security into their
applications and deploy them into a centralized identity management
framework. -- Oracle Directory Services features a newly integrated administration
console - Oracle Directory Services Manager - to manage and configure
LDAP directories, virtual-directories and meta-directories from a
single point. It also features new wizards to help accelerate
directory deployments by simplifying tasks such as sizing, tuning, and
replication. -- Oracle Web Services Manager and Oracle Access Manager have significant
enhancements to provide integrated access control including message
encryption, identity propagation, and policy management for Web-based
applications and Web services in a heterogeneous, multi-vendor
environment. -- Oracle Identity Federation now features the Universal Federation
Framework, extending connectivity to a broad set of protocols
including SAML 2.0, Microsoft CardSpace, Liberty, WS-Federation, and
more. Oracle Identity Federation 11g has also passed Liberty Alliance
SAML 2.0 Interoperability Testing, thereby demonstrating how
user-driven, identity-enabled applications can interoperate across
networks, devices and regions.
-- Oracle is also announcing Oracle Identity Analytics, an integrated
audit and compliance solution. Oracle Identity Analytics provides
rich compliance dashboards, along with intelligent analytics, by
aggregating identity data from multiple enterprise systems,
applications, and network monitoring solutions into an Identity
Warehouse. Added Integration with Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g - The Foundation for Application Security -- Oracle Identity Management 11g delivers single sign-on and access
management for all Oracle Fusion Middleware products including Oracle
WebCenter Suite, Oracle SOA Suite, Oracle WebLogic Suite, and Oracle
ADF and ADF Desktop Interface, as well as for Oracle Enterprise
Manager, through the integration of Oracle Access Manager and Oracle
Platform Security Services. -- The suite strengthens integration with Oracle Fusion Middleware,
including new common components, such as a modern, unified
user-interface based on AJAX/JSF technologies, shared infrastructure
services for encryption, credential management, security policy and
meta-data management, auditing and systems management. -- The added integration between Oracle Identity Management and Oracle
Fusion Middleware provides greater flexibility in deploying
Applications in an operational environment, helps streamline
compliance and controls enforcement, and enables reduced management
and operational costs.
-- Partners can also leverage Oracle Identity Management 11g to
declaratively build security into applications and automate the
integration and deployment of applications into security
infrastructures. This is a critical benefit for all partners who
build and extend enterprise applications. Supporting Quotes
