The company I work for is in the process of finding an identity management solution that suits our needs. It has come down to two options. Option #1 is to go with IBM, using their IBM Directory Server, Tivoli Access Manager, Tivoli Identity Manager. Option #2 is to go with Sun using Sun Directory Enterprise Server, Identity Manager and Access Manager. Either direction, we will probably deploy on Linux and I expect the costs to exceed 500k.
We are primarily an IBM shop and need the identity management solution to tie in with Oracle Apps, Oracle HR, WebSphere Portal, WebSphere Commerce, Lotus Domino, Active Directory, NT Domains, AS/400 authentication and provide as much single sign on as possible for the large number of applications we run on our WAN. I'm not sure who has worked with such a software stack before, but I would greatly appreciate opinions on either set of products. If your company deployed a similar stack I would appreciate information on deployment times, road blocks and problems that arose during the decision making process and implementation. If there are some people that want to toss in Novell eDirectory comments, those will be appreciated as well. Novell's eDirectory is a recent option we have been looking at but seems to be problematic in regards to WebSphere Portal/Commerce authentication and SSO. Thanks in advance, Erik R.
