Portal Solutions & Integrations
Seamlessly Integrate Tivoli Access Manager with Portal
Intranet and Extranet portals are a central component for accessing company content and launching applications that are an obvious interface point for providing Single Sign-On and Identity Personalization solutions to improve the end user experience. Three key benefits can be gained from integrating identity and access management solutions with the corporate portal:
- Provide Single Sign-on from the corporate portal as a central launching pad for all web applications
- Leverage key identity attributes to create an online experience tailored for both the external and internal audience
- Seamlessly integrate new applications into the corporate portal
Single Sign-On
Take the central portal application launch mechanism to the next level by integrating a Single Sign-On (SSO) solution that alleviates the need for the user to login to subsequent applications after they have logged into the portal. By logging into the SSO solution before going to the portal, the portal can then pass those credentials securely to applications the user navigates to via the portal to avoid subsequent login events.
Identity Personalization
Portal widgets, sometimes known as portlets or applets, usually support a fair amount of customization and personalization based on the attributes of the user. For example, a manager may have access to additional components of the widget that a normal user would not see. Users in a particular department may get more or less widgets on their Portal home page than others. These types of functionalities can be enabled by leveraging identity attributes that help to further define the user in a way that is meaningful to portal presentation content. Identity & Access Management technologies can provide the standard mechanism needed to deliver identity attribute to the portal and its linked applications.
Application Integration Optimization
Once a portal environment is stood up, the next challenge becomes quickly adding applications to keep up with end user demand. By leveraging the SSO and Identity Personalization solutions described above, this next challenge can be met more seamlessly. Because the SSO solution is already a central point of authentication and authorization that is able to pass the needed information to applications linked to the portal, the process of adding applications to the portal is simple and seamless to the end user.
