IdStory is our proprietary solution for automating identity management on endpoint systems from one central place. IdStory keep records about all important events and changes related to the identity lifecycle.
An identity is an electronic representation of a person or object (such as a computer or phone) from the real world. Identity Management in IT centrally manages identity access to resources (accounts, vpn, certificates) across managed IT systems.
Identity and access management is key to a sustainable IT infrastructure. It enables efficient and secure management of access permissions and minimizes the risk of cyber threats.
It is a process tool that has a communication interface to many managed systems. Identity Manager integrates managed systems and allows you to execute processes and manage accounts over them. IdM includes synchronization tools for data transfer, auditing and reporting functions and, of course, a user interface that allows you to delegate responsibility for certain tasks to users.
IdM uses role-based access control, RBAC – Role-Based Access Control. This is the core functional mechanism of IdM. If I get a role, it typically means that I’ve gained access to the system or some specific permission on the system, such as inclusion in an MS Active directory group.
Any system that is accessible over the network and has a known (or discoverable) identity structure can be connected to IdM. The above may give the impression that connecting endpoint systems to an IdM system must require considerable customisation to support identity management. The opposite is true. A major benefit of IdM is the ease of connecting the end system without having to customize or even reboot it. How do we do that? More general approaches are used, including the so-called. identity connectors.
Connector is a small software tool on the IdM side that allows data exchange with a connected system using its native API. Thus, the connector adapts to the connected system, not the other way around.
