Novell Identity Manager goes globetrotting

September 18, 2007 10:09 am

Proving that the need for centralized and automated user provisioning knows no borders, Novell Identity Manager continues to be deployed in venues far and wide. Recent successful customer deployments include APACS in the United Kingdom, University of Cape Town in South Africa and University of Adelaine in Australia.

APACS has implemented Identity Manager to synchronize user information and group membership across three core systems. University of Adelaide is using Identity Manager to synchronizes identities and passwords across several directories. University of Cape Town has deployed Identity Manager to enable automatic role-based provisioning of user accounts and physical access rights for its large and fast-changing user community.

Stay tuned to find out where in the world, Identity Manager will be deployed next…

    Please can we have write ups and white papers on things like this. Short press releases are not good enough to put in front of boards and possible clients.

    Thanks

    Hi Roger: thanks for your comments. We typically post success stories at http://www.novell.com/success/ for customer wins like this, which provide more detail on the deployments.

    For specific white papers (and other information) on Novell Identity Manager, go this site: http://www.novell.com/products/identitymanager/productinfo/.

    I hope that helps.

    I'm aware of the links, but for things like white papers few are focussed on the product and/or its deployment. If we take Identity Manager as an example there are 3 listed

    Password Self-service Business White Paper
    Monitoring Identity Events Business White Paper
    Novell Identity Vision: Defining an Identity Fabric

    None of these show the use of Identity Manager or its features, instead they focus a simple issue such as a forgotten password or much wider issues – such as Novell's vision of an Identity Fabric (which Identity Manager can not deliver on its own).

    The success story area has its own limitations -

    You can't search by a product just a general grouping
    You don't date the stories
    You don't detail the version releases of the products
    There is a lack of detail – just general statements.
