VMware Identity Manager

VMware Identity Manager is an identification of the offer as a service (IDAAS) capabilities providing single sign-on (SSO) and user-based mobile web applications, clouds and controls. Identity Manager is based on the technology acquired by VMware TriCipher in 2010 and is part of the cloud-based management platform ONE with Wake Workspace Enterprise Mobility Management.

Managing the identity of the offer provides SSO access to any application of everything based on policies created by the IT service device. Administrators can create and delete accounts automatically with permission and restrictions for applications managed by Identity Manager VMware. Administrators can also use VMware Identity Manager in different VMware management interfaces, such as vRealize and vCloud Air. Supported applications include Office 365, Salesforce, Dropbox, and Amazon Web Services.

With VMware Identity Manager, administrators provide employees with a way to access a self-service catalog of securely-approved applications and workstations from a variety of devices. It eliminates the possibility that employees sign dangerous devices and important access documents and information, and possibly confidential information.

The underlying local operating system VMware is SuSE Linux Identity Manager 11. If an organization wants to use ThinApp packages, the VMware Identity Manager agent is required for each client. Using VMware ThinApp Packages Identity Manager allows users to run the Windows virtualized application on a Windows system, even though it is not the system in which the application was originally installed. Administrators can also deploy Identity Manager in vCloud Air as software as a server (SaaS), but a local connector is required to connect, as vCloud Air Direct Connect, the organization's data center.

Identity Manager also offers IT a single place to manage multiple accounts and applications. The administrator can set policies to manage devices have access to selected applications. An administrator can give access to all devices or only managed.

Users need one or more VMware ESX servers to deploy Identity Manager and vSphere Client or vSphere Client Web is required to implement a virtual device as an OVA file that is available on the VMware Web site.
