Components
Defined
|
| Identiprise
Server |
This
server can play multiple roles
depending on your needs. It includes
a powerful policy engine, Virtual
Directory, and Protocol Support
Modules. |
Virtual
Directory
(part of Identprise
Server)
|
Virtual
Directory, a directory aggregation
mechanism, allows Identiprise
Server to be deployed over a
wide range of directory and database
repositories. It works with any
LDAP- or ODBC-based repository. |
Protocol
Support Modules
(part of Identiprise
Server) |
Protocol
Support Modules (PSMs) are dynamically
loaded, finite state machines
that describe a protocol’s
syntax and semantics. A PSM provides
the mapping between the Identiprise
Server policy engine and the
application protocol. Since the
protocol specific information
is isolated to the PSM, Identiprise
Server can be extended to support
different applications simply
by developing additional PSMs.
Many PSMs for popular applications
are provided with the Identiprise
Suite. |
| Application
Programming Interface |
The
Identiprise API provides a wide-range
of programming options including
support for C-language on any
Posix platform, Visual Basic,
J2SE Pure Java, and .NET framework
support (web services). The API
consists of less than 50 interfaces,
but provides access to all server
capabilities. |
| SmartClient |
SmartClients
provide connection interception,
management, and monitoring capabilities
for when users access legacy
applications on your network.
These components are installed
directly onto the users' computers. |
| Integrated
Login Service |
The
Integrated Login Service
is an optional client component
that: - Is
installed directly on users'
computers.
- Provides
Windows Graphical Identification
and
Authentication
(GINA)- and
Pluggable
Authentication Module (PAM)-compliant
network authentication
capabilities.
|
| Smart
Plug-ins |
Installed
on Web servers, Smart Plug-ins
facilitate communication between
user requests from any computer
browser to existing, Identiprise-protected
Web applications. |
| Certificate
Server |
The
Identiprise Suite includes a
Certificate Server, which provides
the ability to generate public
key certificates, because a Secure
Sockets Layer (SSL) is required
to enable secure access to Smart
Plug-ins. |
| Administrative
Console |
This
component lets administrators
can use to: - Configure
Identiprise servers.
- Create
connection level access rules.
- Monitor
the status of Identiprise
servers, as well as a variety
of other system and network
components.
|
| Web
Service |
The
Identiprise Web Service contains
three Web Services designed to
let you extend the Identiprise
Suite to integrate your applications
with those of your trusted partners.
You can do this by developing
Web Services based on SOAP and
the Security Assertion Markup
Language (SAML). |
