Problems Building

the Identity Warehouse




The problem though is that

OIM will require a centralized

Identity Warehouse in which

to consolidate all of the

identity data




Planning and building the

Identity Warehouse requires:




• Analyzing the current

business environment

and practices




• Sanitizing and standardizing

the identity criteria that

will be required to support

existing applications




• Implementing

pre-configured connectors

to existing application

identity stores




• Building and populating

the centralized Identity

Warehouse using the

consolidated identity data




The Disconnected

Application Framework




Disconnected application

framework provides for:




• Easy creation, configuration

and administration of

application instances




• An automated creation

of application connectors




Defining Business Roles




Some of these problems

can be:




• How to define and

establish a RBAC model

on a large scale across

many applications




• How to assign users to roles

and roles to applications




• How to assign specific

business rules and

permissions to roles




Securing OIM




OIM internal links do not use

security as a default setting,

so it is imperative to secure

all links not just the web-based

connections




Bottom Line




Identity data consolidation,

establishing an effective role

based access model, and

implementing SSL security




are all considered

best practices but are also

time consuming and

labor intensive
