Novell Identity Manager
Easy to Design, Debug, and Deploy
Create and document your rules and policies with ease—without code knowledge. Designer for Novell Identity Manager is a powerful modeling tool that lets you play around with many different options as you create the identity policies and rules that will govern your network. With little code knowledge required, Designer uses graphics and drag-and-drop tools to make designing, debugging, and deploying your identity management solutions an intuitive (and even fun) process. Get a full view of Identity Manager in your enterprise, drill down to any level of detail, and get instant documentation of the policies and rules defined in Identity Manager whenever you need it.
With Designer, you can:
- Graphically model your implementation
- Re-use configurations to help reduce deployment time frames
- Create and test "what-if" scenarios before you deploy them to ensure proper policy definition
- Automatically generate project documentation of all implementation details
- Work offline to safely configure implementations outside of the production environment
- Maintain project version control
- Define and manage policies such as data transformation, placement and matching
Use powerful modeling to create the big picture of identity management for your enterprise, with all Identity Manager components, end-systems, applications, and other visual elements. Divide the big picture into smaller connected pictures by organizing the systems into groups. Pan, scan, and zoom. Model application subsystems, eDirectory to eDirectory, and multiple drivers connecting to one system, in a way never possible before.
Simple In Designer
With Designer, you can visually see and manipulate how data flows across the entire enterprise. Plus, once you've got it designed, you can document your solution with the push of a button—producing detailed tables, charts, and graphics of all of your systems. You can even document policies, schema, Identity Manager components, custom content, and project information, including a table of contents, appendix, and page numbering.
