This is a follow up to my previous post concerning the six technologies relating to identity management. The first three were described in a previous post, and the next three are examined below.
Legacy single-sign on- Commonly abbreviated to SSO. Idea behind this one is that a user only has to authenticate once to access information while not having to re-authentencate while in that environment.
Account management- Deals with the delegation of user accounts. Create accounts for all systems, modify privileges, and getting rid of the accounts whenever it comes to point in time in which a specific account is no longer needed.
Profile update- Basically refers to the fact that more than a name is used for an individual profile. A lot of info about the user should be captured. When this collection is associated with a user, it is called a profile. The data for profiles should be centrally located.
