IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager V1.0
This new solution includes IBM Security Identity Manager V6.0 and IBM Security Access Manager for Enterprise Single Sign-On V8.2 capabilities for licensed privileged users. You get privileged user entitlement provisioning, strong password management policies, and support for all IBM Security Identity Manager adapter endpoints. IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager helps thwart insider threat by tracking the use of user credentials having elevated access privileges. It also provides:
- An encrypted credential vault providing controlled check-out and check-in of shared IDs for entitled users.
- Automated login with available strong authentication that delivers an additional level of assurance while hiding the current password from the end user.
- User activity logging that contains an audit trail on use of privileged credentials.
- Password update capability, after use, upon check-in, to help ensure it is not written down and reused outside the governance structure.
IBM Security Identity Manager V6.0 (formerly known as IBM Tivoli® Identity Manager) is an automated and policy-based solution that manages user access across IT environments, helping to drive effective identity management and governance across the enterprise. Through the use of roles, accounts, and access permissions, it helps automate the creation, modification, and termination of user privileges throughout the entire user lifecycle.

IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager V1.0
IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager V1.0 is an identity and access management solution for privileged users. These users include system administrators, database administrators, and sensitive application administrators as well as executives with elevated access privileges to sensitive applications and data.
Administrative users typically share privileged login credentials to target endpoints. For example, multiple IT employees might actually use the same login credential Administrator. This can be problematic when an inadvertent mistake occurs and the actual employee needs to be contacted to correct the issue. It can be even more problematic when such an employee is terminated but still has potentially damaging access to key resources. Furthermore, because there are so many of these identities, employees often write down the login credentials and display the list openly at their desks. This provides nonentitled employees access to these sensitive credentials. As the number of privileged accounts grows, the security risk and associated administrative burden of supporting these accounts grows as well.
Shared and privileged credentials need to be tracked for individual accountability to help ensure only those who are approved for access are able to get it.
IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager addresses these issues by forcing users to check these credentials out of a credential vault and tracking their use. The logged out credentials can be set to expire and a warning note sent to the overdue user to return the credentials. The password for these credentials can be configured to change after every check in. Sharing a set of credentials between privileged users can cut down on the overall number of privileged accounts needed, helping reduce the associated security risk and management burden.
IBM Security Identity Manager
IBM Security Identity Manager is an automated and policy-based solution that manages user access across IT environments. Through the use of roles, accounts, and access permissions, it helps automate the creation, modification, and termination of user privileges throughout the entire user lifecycle.
IBM Security Identity Manager can help increase user efficiency, reduce IT administration costs, enforce security, and manage compliance. It does this with centralized user self-service, delegated administration, automated approvals processing, periodic revalidation of user access rights, documentation of controls, role mining, and role lifecycle management.
The extensive role management functionality in Security Identity Manager helps you bridge the gap between how business users view their IT resources and the actual IT implementation of user access rights. This helps you to simplify and reduce the cost of administering user access rights, offers you a set of additional controls to manage internal security, and enables you to scale existing user provisioning deployments across the enterprise. Separation of duty support helps establish preventative policies that can manage business conflicts by excluding user membership to multiple roles while allowing for policy exceptions.
IBM Security Identity Manager helps provide automated audit readiness with access rights recertification, additional prebuilt reports, a custom report builder, direct auditor access to reports, and mapping of low-level IT entitlements into business-friendly descriptions of what a user can actually do with access.
IBM Security Identity Manager also provides:
- A highly customizable self-service user interface that can be easily modified to match intranet and extranet portal look and feel.
- A mapping of low-level IT entitlements into business-friendly descriptions of what users can actually do with their access.
- Password self-service reset to help improve user productivity and reduce help desk costs.
- Access request management that provides a quick-start option to streamline user provisioning and offers users the opportunity to manage their role membership, access rights, passwords, personal information, and approval tasks.
- A dynamic policy management engine that automates user provisioning and aids in compliance efforts.
- Access rights reconciliation, recertification, and reporting to address audit requirements.
- Broad support for system adapters to accelerate installation of new applications.
- Scalable, fault tolerant, and internalized architecture.
- A powerful workflow and policy engine that can be configured in either simple or advanced mode.
- Recertification of user entitlements to help improve governance and audit readiness.
- A flexible and powerful role modeling and mining platform with the IBM Security Role and Policy Modeler component.
- Role and Policy Modeler supports entitlement data gathering, analysis of entitlement patterns, an IBM Research based Role Mining algorithm, visualization techniques, and scoring metrics that facilitate interaction with business users to produce an effective role and access structure. The proposed role structure can be managed throughout its lifecycle with a workflow for business process automation.
Key new features in IBM Security Identity Manager V6.0
- Role schema customization, custom form support, and improved support for use of role assignment attributes enhance role management flexibility.
- Web Services API supports integration of IBM Security Identity Manager with service-oriented architecture (SOA) applications. The Adapter Toolkit also provides improved Web Services support.
- IBM WebSphere® Application Server authentication support allows you to use your own WebSphere-supported authentication registries (for example, corporate LDAP) as the IBM Security Identity Manager user repository and not be restricted to using the IBM Security Identity Manager provided registry.
- IBM WebSphere Application Server single sign-on can improve integration between IBM Security Identity Manager and the Role and Policy Modeler, and can also support single sign-on independent from IBM Tivoli Access Manager for e-business use.
- Extra granularity for service setup allows you to create specific per service instance account forms to aid in customizing the solution.
- Enhanced health check on adapters provides more information on the service form test such as the adapter version and status of the resource for enhanced troubleshooting.
- Enhanced performance monitoring aids detection of configuration and connectivity issues using the WebSphere Performance Monitoring Infrastructure (PMI).
- Expanded reporting capabilities under Tivoli Common Reporting - An IBM Cognos reporting data model for custom reporting is available in the Integrated Service Management Library.
- Enhanced self-monitoring via use of IBM Tivoli Monitoring agent available on the IBM Integrated Service Management Library.
- IBM WebSphere Application Server vertical clustering support allows you to tap unused capacity on the same physical box for WebSphere clusters for quicker, less costly capacity expansion.
- Service group tagging for entitlements provides the ability to assign entitlements to groups of services (for companies with large numbers of similar services), which supports more consistent policy enforcement across like endpoints.
- For more timely support, DataSynch performance enhancements provide quicker synchronization between the LDAP user repository and the reporting database.
- Reconciliation performance enhancements support improved usability of the solution.
- Audit log size management enhancements provide reduced footprint of the audit log for more efficient resource utilization.
Capabilities no longer supported in IBM Security Identity Manager V6.0

Every organization that deploys an IT infrastructure includes a set of privileged users with elevated access rights. These users are typically granted special rights to manage business critical resources, such as operating systems, databases, ERP systems, and many other business systems and platforms. The privileged identities are usually shared among these users and can cause accountability, compliance issues, and emerging as a potential source for insider breaches. The trends toward data center consolidation, outsourcing, cloud computing, and virtualized infrastructures are increasing the risk of insider threats to an even greater number of privileged users. IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager helps thwart insider threats by securing and tracking the use of privileged user credentials.
IBM Security Identity Manager helps automate the processes of creating provisioning and de-provisioning user's access rights. It can help increase user efficiency, reduce IT administration costs, and address compliance needs. This is accomplished with role management, centralized user account maintenance (including self-service interfaces), delegated administration, automated approvals processing, documentation of controls, standard reports, role mining, and role lifecycle management.
These solutions are part of the IBM Security Identity and Access Management portfolio providing complete user lifecycle management, from planning through user administration to real time access enforcement via web, enterprise, and federated single sign-on, and through to user activity monitoring to feed back into the entire closed loop process.

IBM Security Identity Manager pricing examples
Scenario 1
In Phase I, customer ABC wants to initially secure access for the following users and adapters through one 4-way server for its 12,000 total internal users: Each internal user equals one chargeable user.
- All 12,000 of those internal users will use the LDAP adapter.
- The same 12,000 will use the Lotus Notes adapter.
- The same 12,000 will use the SAP R3 adapter.
- Of those 12,000 internal users, only 2,000 of them will use the RACF adapter.
First, add the users for the class of adapters within a part number. A current list of adapters is available at
- http://www-306.ibm.com/software/sysmgmt/products/support/IBMTivoliIdentityManager.html
Transaction 1
In this example, the LDAP and Lotus Notes adapters are included in the purchase price of the base part number. SAP R3 is in the Application adapter class and RACF is in the Host adapter class. The environment is 12,000 internal users of Security Identity Manager Base, 12,000 internal users of Application, and 2,000 internal users of Host.

Since the users are all internal users (column A), they equate to 1 chargeable user (column B) on a 1 to 1 basis (where one internal user equals one chargeable user). There are no external users or infrequent internal users to factor in. The total chargeable users are calculated in column F. In the table below, column G applies the volume tiering discount factor (from the scalable usage model table above) to the chargeable users for that tier, with the resulting User Value Units required to purchase for entitlement in column H.

Note: There is a minimum order quantity of 250 users for both IBM Security Identity Manager and each adapter, the chargeable user quantity is raised to the next incremental 100 quantity. For IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager, the minimum order quantity is 50 and increments of 10 users must be ordered.
Transaction 2
In Phase II, customer ABC wants to secure access for 1,000 additional internal users with LDAP, Lotus Notes , and SAP R3. Customer ABC also wants to entitle 150,000 external users (mostly suppliers, business partners, and consumers) to use the LDAP and Access Manager adapters. Finally, customer ABC has 22,500 factory and construction employees who access their benefit information once or twice a year (if at all), and fall into the infrequent internal user category. This is an increase of 173,500 users of Security Identity Manager. The additional users in the new environment for customer ABC would look as follows:
- 173,500 additional users of Security base who will use the LDAP, Access Manager, and Lotus Notes adapters, or 12,500 chargeable users. Refer to the calculation below.
- 1,000 internal users (1,000 chargeable users at 1:1).
- 150,000 external users (10,000 chargeable users at 1:15).
- 22,500 infrequent internal users (1,500 chargeable users at 1:15).
- 1,000 additional internal users of SAP R3 (1,000 chargeable users of Application Adapters at 1:1).
The LDAP, Access Manager, and Lotus Notes adapters are included in the purchase price of the base Identity Manager and are not priced separately. For the remaining adapters, the incremental Value Units are calculated taking advantage of the scalable user table and customer ABC's previous purchase.

Scenario 2
Assume Customer ABC prefers unlimited user access and unlimited adapters for their environment.
The customer will require Processor Value Units to entitle the following environment.
IBM Security Identity Manager - Unlimited User Option
Security Identity Quantity in customer Total processors required
Manager Server environment
4-way single core 2 8*
4-way dual core 1 8
Total processor cores 16*
requiring PVU entitlements
* There is a minimum order quantity of three processor cores for the IBM Security Identity Manager Unlimited User Option.
Note: In this example, the Unlimited User Option applies only to the 16 processor cores licensed. If the customer replaced one of the 4-way single core servers with another 4-way dual core server, an additional 4 processor cores would require Processor Value Unit entitlements. This licensing is based on the server in which IBM Security Identity Manager runs. You do not count server on which supporting programs (such as DB2 ) run.
The Unlimited User Option also includes unlimited adapters, so no adapter part numbers need to be ordered.

l
IBM Privileged Identity Manager pricing examples
IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager pricing is similar to IBM Security Identity Manager. The same examples apply except with these differences:
- IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager does not offer a PVU based Unlimited User option.
- All IBM Security Identity Manager adapters are included in IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager. There is no need to buy additional adapter licenses for IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager users.
- All IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager users are considered internal and not "infrequent" users for UVU counting.
- The minimum order quantity is 50 for IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager and the UVUs must be ordered in increments of 10.
For example, Customer XYZ has 10,000 employees, 200 of which are system administrators to whom they want to give full IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager capabilities. For IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager licenses, the customer would order 200 UVUs of part number D0T0BLL - Sec Privileged Identity Mgr per UVU Lic + SW S& S 12 Mo.
If the customer also wants to manage some or all of the remaining 9,800 employees under IBM Security Identity Manager, follow the ordering information in the preceding section to order the appropriate number of IBM Security Identity Manager entitlements.
If the customer also wants to provide IBM Security Access Manager for Enterprise Single Sign-on for some or all of the remaining employees, refer to Software Announcement 212-004, dated January 10, 2012 .
IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager trade ups
Customers holding IBM Security Identity Manager or IBM Security Access Manager for Enterprise Single Sign-On licenses may exchange (trade up) those licenses for IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager licenses for their privileged users. An example follows.
Licensees of other products, IBM Security Identity Access and Assurance, and IBM Tivoli Identity and Access Management cannot exchange licenses (there is not a 1:1 correspondence that is relevant for the trade up), and must purchase IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager licenses directly for their privileged users.
IBM Security Identity Manager users holding unlimited (PVU) based licenses cannot trade up since there is no PVU based offering for IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager, and privileged users are typically a subset of IBM Security Identity Manager users.
Trade-up example
Customer ABC owns 10,000 UVUs of IBM Security Identity Manager licenses. This currently includes entitlements for 150 system administrators that they want to give full IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager capabilities.
Customer ABC will buy 150 UVUs of IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager trade-up part number (below). They will then have 150 UVUs of IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager and 9,850 UVUs of IBM Security Identity Manager left. The administrative users will still have the capabilities of IBM Security Identity Manager available to them, plus the added capabilities of IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager.
The trade-up license fee includes 12 months of Subscription and Support for IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager.
For example, the customer would order 150 UVUs of part number D0T0ELL - Sec Identity Mgr and Role Mgr UVU to Sec Privileged Identity Mgr UVU Trdup Lic + SW S&S 12 Mo
This example would be the same for exchanging IBM Security Access Manager for Enterprise Single Sign-on licenses, except that a different trade-up part number would be ordered (D0T0FLL Sec Access Mgr for ESSO Suite UVU to Sec Privileged Identity Mgr UVU Trdup Lic + SW S&S 12 Mo).
Also note that licensed IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager customers with existing licensed IBM Security Identity Manager V6.0 or IBM Security Enterprise Single Sign-on V8.2 installations may share those physical deployments with IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager, provided all are separately licensed. A separate physical deployment of IBM Security Identity Manager and IBM Security Access Manager for Enterprise Single Sign-On is supported, but not required, for IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager.
User Value Unit (UVU)
UVU is a unit of measure by which the program can be licensed. UVU Proofs of Entitlement (PoEs) are based on the number and type of users for the given program. Licensee must obtain sufficient entitlements for the number of UVUs required for licensee's environment as specified in the program specific table. The UVU entitlements are specific to the program and type of user and may not be exchanged, interchanged, or aggregated with UVU entitlements of another program or type of user. Refer to the program specific UVU table.
Additional user counting notes for IBM Security Identity Manager:
- For IBM Security Identity Manager only, under the UVU counting method, nonproduction users need not be counted for licensing. This is a special historical exception only for IBM Security Identity Manager's UVU licensing method.
- Within IBM Security Identity Manager, user subcategories can be exchanged as follows. Infrequent and external users may be exchanged with internal users of IBM Security Identity Manager, as long as the total number of licensed UVUs does not change. So, as an example, the customer could entitle 3,000 external users and 200 internal users, or 4,500 external user and 100 internal users for the 400 UVUs that they purchase. The standard IBM nonexchange restriction language mentioned above refers to IBM standard user types, in this case Authorized User. IBM Security Identity Manager Authorized Users may not be exchanged with other licensed product users or with other IBM defined user types like Concurrent User, but may be within the subcategories of internal, external, and infrequent.
Chargeable users are added up and the volume tiering information below is then utilized to calculate the total User Value Units entitlements required for IBM Security Identity Manager or IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager.
Scalable usage level 1 2 3 4
Chargeable users 1 - 5K >5K - 15K >15k - 50K >50K-150K

Chargeable users >150-500 >500-1M >1M - 3M >3M
Value Units per 1,000 100 50 25 10
chargeable users
Processor Value Unit (PVU)
PVU is a unit of measure by which the program can be licensed. The number of PVU entitlements required is based on the processor technology (defined within the PVU table by processor value, brand, type, and model number at the website below) and the number of processors made available to the program. IBM continues to define a processor, for the purpose of PVU-based licensing, to be each processor core on a chip. A dual-core processor chip, for example, has two processor cores. The PVU table can be found at
- http://www.ibm.com/software/lotus/passportadvantage/pvu_licensing_for_customers.html
Licensee can deploy the program using either full capacity licensing or virtualization capacity (sub-capacity) licensing according to the Passport Advantage Sub-Capacity Licensing Terms (refer to the web page below). If using full capacity licensing, licensee must obtain PVU entitlements sufficient to cover all activated processor cores* in the physical hardware environment made available to or managed by the program, except for those servers from which the program has been permanently removed. If using virtualization capacity licensing, licensee must obtain entitlements sufficient to cover all activated processor cores made available to or managed by the program, as defined according to the Virtualization Capacity License Counting Rules at
- http://www.ibm.com/software/lotus/passportadvantage/Counting_Software_licenses_using_sp
ecific_virtualization_technologies.html
* An activated processor core is a processor core that is available for use in a physical or virtual server, regardless of whether the capacity of the processor core can be or is limited through virtualization technologies, operating system commands, BIOS settings, or similar restrictions.

IT system security involves protecting systems and information through prevention, detection, and response to improper access from within and outside your enterprise. Improper access can result in information being altered, destroyed or misappropriated or can result in misuse of your systems to attack others. No IT system or product should be considered completely secure and no single product or security measure can be completely effective in preventing improper access. IBM systems and products are designed to be part of a comprehensive security approach, which will necessarily involve additional operational procedures, and may require other systems, products, or services to be most effective. IBM does not warrant that systems and products are immune from the malicious or illegal conduct of any party.
