Now Available: Sun Role Manager 5.0 and Directory Server Enterprise Edition 7.0

Sun has announced two new versions of key identity management tools that make IDM faster and more manageable. Sun Role Manager 5.0 is an integrated, role-based provisioning and auditing solution that now shows a full-circle view of users' access to corporate data and applications; and Sun Directory Server Enterprise Edition 7.0, the high-performance, highly scalable LDAP directory server, is now three times faster than before.


Complete Transparency with Sun Role Manager 5.0

Sun Role Manager uses business roles, such as job function and an employee's title, to assign, attest, audit, and enforce access to resources across the enterprise, and with the newest edition you can discover the data and applications each employee has access to as well as what he or she does with that access. Role Manager 5.0 shows you a 360-degree view of the data and applications each user has in your organization, giving better control over how user access is defined, assigned, and enforced.

Also new in Role Manager 5.0 are:

  • Closed-loop remediation and rule lifecycle management for reviewing, justifying, and removing user access
  • "What-if" scenario testing to determine how rule changes will impact the access assignment process
  • A Web-service UI to remotely enforce rule assignments and separate-of-duty rules.
