Single Sign On (SSO) Services for IBM i

In a typical customer environment clients are challenged with multiple user registries creating a large administrative challenge. Single Sign On (SSO) Services for the IBM i platform offers administrators and application developers an inexpensive solution for easier management of multiple user registries and user identities. Using Enterprise Identity Mapping (EIM), a system of identity mappings, called associations, is created between various user identities in various user registries. It provides a common interface across platforms to look up relationships between user identities. In a typical services engagement the IBM Lab Services team can provide the following services to support SSO:

• Configure the IBM i operating system to participate with a customer's Windows 2003+ Domain/Active Directory authentication environment.
• Configure one instance of an EIM domain to be used by up to four instances of the IBM i operating system,
• Enable up 5 people to use the password elimination/SSO environment,
• Analyze other critical customer applications for the ability and the effort required to allow it to participate in the password elimination/SSO environment.
• Optionally the customer may purchase the custom EIM Populator utility for use in automating the loading of identity mapping information into EIM
