Key Capabilities

Aggregate

Enterprises deal with a variety of user directory silos:

• Directories, such as Active Directory, eDirectory, Sun Directory Server
• Databases, such as Oracle, SQLServer and DB2

The problem is that most web access management (WAM) packages expect a single authoritative directory for authentication and/or authorization. RadiantOne VDS solves this problem by mapping all identity data into a common namespace, which can be accessed by any application.

Map

Disparate systems mean disparate schemas and different objectclasses. VDS enables cross-application search of heterogeneous sources by mapping all objects and attributes to a common representation. Different views of the same data can be built as needed to accommodate new applications without synchronization or disruption of current sources or integration points.

Profile Extension/Join

Authorization relies on a complete profile of users—including distributed attributes and group membership information—for proper entitlement and security enforcement. Unfortunately, traditional directory deployments require administrators to recreate this information in another user repository, or hard-code a solution that is brittle and unable to keep up with the ever-changing environment of most enterprises. RadiantOne VDS solves this problem through virtualization, extending identities using dynamic joins for real-time identity integration, and group migration to merge existing groups.
