Smart Employee ID with Sun Java System Identity Manager

For Sun customers seeking to implement and deploy smart card badges throughout their organization, ActivID™ Card Management System extends the capabilities of the Sun Java System Identity Manager to streamline the processes for issuance and management of smart cards. This solution includes optional integration with Physical Access Control Systems for a single-step issuance that enables both physical and logical access with a single smart card ID.

When deployed with ActivClient® middleware on end-users workstations, this solution enables smart card security for Sun Solaris™, Microsoft Windows® for workstation locking, secure remote access, as well as data security, secure e-mail and digital signatures.

Features and Benefits

• Ease of deployment – Seamless integration into existing IT environments for cost-efficient deployment and operation via resource connector with Sun Java System Identity Manager providing user, account, credential and device provisioning. Supports broad range of smart cards, directories, certificate authorities and physical security systems.
• Cost reduction – Most organizations have separate processes for issuance of user accounts, user credentials (IT), physical access badges and in many case security tokens for remote access – there is separate administration for all of these processes today. This results in high cost and in increased security risk. The ActivIdentity Smart Card ID solution enables a streamlined provisioning process with central administration for provisioning and management of physical and logical access, thus increasing security and reducing operating costs.
• Productivity – In a typical organization, users login with user names and passwords multiple times per day. With smart card authentication, speed of login is increased with an ATM-like experience (insert your card type your PIN) or a complete automation for true single sign-on with ActivIdentity SecureLogin® SSO.
• Compliance – Address IT security and compliance requirements (Sarbanes Oxley, Gramm Leach Bliley, HIPAA) by preventing unauthorized access to information, and providing comprehensive audit logs. Proven and robust - The solution from both Sun Microsystems and ActivIdentity that has been field proven with millions of users being provisioned and issued smart cards to date.
