Full Title or Meme

Identity Management (IdM) or Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a field of management in enterprises that is not clearly defined.

Context

  • Customer Relationship Management (CRM) has been an issue from the earliest days of tabulating machine deployment or earlier.
  • Vendor Relationship Management (VRM) has been proposed by Doc Searls[1] as the User managing their vendors.

Problems

The term is not well defined.

For example: According to Gartner, IGA solutions are tools that “manage digital identity and access rights across multiple systems.” They accomplish this by aggregating and correlating identity and access rights data that is distributed throughout the IT landscape, in order to enhance control over user access. This aggregated data serves as the basis for what Gartner considers the core IGA functions: • Identity Life Cycle and Entitlements Management • Access Requests • Workflow Orchestration • Fulfillment via Automated Provisioning and Service Tickets • Reporting and Analytics • Role and Policy Management • Auditing

Solutions

  1. User Agent
  2. Identity Provider
  3. Attribute Provider
  4. Relying Party
  5. Intermediaries
  6. Credential Service Provider
  7. Registration Authorities
  • In the wiki items 2 and 3 are combined into IAP since the distinction between the two is become blurred.
  • Also the last two are less interesting and also hard to separate from other functions.
