Identity management
Managing user identities and their rights to access resources throughout the identity life cycle is critical for effective identity and access management, in both our physical and logical worlds, including:
- Identity life-cycle management, with user self-care, enrollment, proofing, provisioning, recertification and de-provisioning
- Identity control, including access and privacy control, role management, single sign-on (SSO) and auditing
- IBM trusted identity initiative (US)

Access authorization provides timely access throughout the user's life cycle – across multiple environments and security domains – while enforcing security policies and protecting against external threats with:
- Centralized control for consistent execution of security policies across multiple applications and users
- Automation with a policy-based security infrastructure guided by IT requirements and business goals
- Single Sign-On (SSO) to improve the user experience and reduce help-desk costs
- Integration of access and identity management within one infrastructure environment
- Identity federation to share user authentication and attribute information between trusted Web services applications
