DIRECTORY SERVICES & SINGLE SIGN ON

The Challenge

With the increasing proliferation of heterogeneous ICT infrastructures many enterprises are facing the problem of how to keep user data in a unified manner that makes administration and use as efficient as possible.

User data are involved in a number of processes, especially during authentication. Other possible uses includes enterprise-wide address books or the centralised supply of data about shared resources like file systems or printers.

The Solution

During the design of a centralised directory service which has to build on existing infrastructures, which in turn rely on established, traditional processes, you have to keep a number of requirements in mind:
  • Centralized Administration (User data will only be manipulated at a central site)
  • "Ease of Use" from the user's point of view (Data should be kept consistent across platforms and in one place only, i.e. only one password for all services)
  • Security (Passwords shouldn't be visible to attackers)
