IPA Server
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
What is it?
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For efficiency, compliance and risk mitigation, organizations need to
|
||
|
|
centrally manage and correlate vital security information including:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Identity (machine, user, virtual machines, groups, authentication
|
||
|
|
credentials)
|
||
|
|
* Policy (configuration settings, access control information)
|
||
|
|
* Audit (events, logs, analysis thereof)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Since these are not new problems. there exist many approaches and
|
||
|
|
products focused on addressing them. However, these tend to have the
|
||
|
|
following weaknesses:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Focus on solving identity management across the enterprise has meant
|
||
|
|
less focus on policy and audit.
|
||
|
|
* Vendor focus on Web identity management problems has meant less well
|
||
|
|
developed solutions for central management of the Linux and Unix
|
||
|
|
world's vital security info. Organizations are forced to maintain
|
||
|
|
a hodgepodge of internal and proprietary solutions at high TCO.
|
||
|
|
* Proprietary security products don't easily provide access to the
|
||
|
|
vital security information they collect or manage. This makes it
|
||
|
|
difficult to synchronize and analyze effectively.
