Automated Provisioning, De-provisioning,
and Re-provisioning

To many organizations, identity management is firmly rooted in user provisioning - the management of the identity lifecycle. Quest’s provisioning solutions automate and improve the provisioning, re-provisioning, and de-provisioning of users in Active Directory as well as for specific identity management services such as enterprise single sign-on and strong authentication. Using Quest’s standards-based solutions, moreover, these Active Directory-based capabilities can be easily extended to include your Unix, Linux, Java, and Mac identities.

Quest One Solutions for provisioning include:

• ActiveRoles Server automates provisioning and ongoing management of users in Active Directory, Exchange, and Windows as well as any non-Windows systems that have been "joined" to Active Directory through ActiveRoles Quick Connect or Quest Authentication Services. In addition, ActiveRoles Server integrates easily with identity framework solutions (such as IBM Tivoli Identity Manager) for an end-to-end provisioning solution.

• ActiveRoles Quick Connect provides identity synchronization, password synchronization, access synchronization, and data transformation between heterogeneous systems via the ActiveRoles Quick Connect module.

• ActiveRoles Self-Service Manager enables your organization to empower application and data owners to self-manage their access to groups and Exchange distribution lists in a secure and compliant manner. By doing so, the responsibility of access management and compliance is moved from IT to the person who understands the business justifications for granting access.

• Access Manager enables real-time visibility and management over entitlement access across the enterprise.
