ID Synchronization

Local directories, humanresources, messaging system, listof partners, application databases,
etc. This information is diversified
and partial: how can you havea unique and reliable identity
repository?
Create a single trusted identity
repository
Evidian ID Synchronization intelligently
synchronizes your identity data sources
distributed in the company.

This software-based solution uses the datastored in directories, databases and even flat
files. It can thus create a reliable andconsistent database of all users, helping youto:• Create a global “White pages” directory.
• Base your access policy on reliable data.
• Ensure the consistency and update of all youruser databases.

Retain your existing procedures
To comply with legal requirements such as
Bâle, Sarbanes-Oxley, PCI DSS, or standards likeISO 27001, your company has formalized andvalidated the employee lifecycle management.
With Evidian ID Synchronization, theseprocedures are not modified. The supervisors
manage employee data as usual. They will beable to enhance their procedures gradually.

Draw information from the mostreliable sources
Depending on the type of information, somesources are more reliable than others.
For example, your Mail server is probably thereference for e-mail addresses. The employee
database and flat files (Excel, CSV…) for
subcontractors can be the reference for humanresources.
From these sources, Evidian ID Synchronization
will build a reliable and unique repository taking
into account the relations between the sources,
its dependency level and the relevance of thedata of each source.

Improve the quality of all your user
databases
The central repository maintained with
Evidian ID Synchronization contains the mostreliable data. So, why not extend this to otherdatabases?
For each data item, you can automate database
updates from source databases. For example,
when a new user account is created in the mailserver, the user’s “e-mail” field will be updated in
the HR database.

How does Evidian ID Synchronizationwork?
It creates a single reliable and consistentidentity repository from several identity
sources. This repository may be an existing
LDAP directory, but also a relational databaseor a flat file.

Evidian ID Synchronization keeps this reference
directory up-to-date according to predefinedand simple synchronization rules:• Aggregation & Synchronization
Definition and application of asynchronization policy based on various
repositories. Information can come fromvarious sources.
• Transformation
Processing, transformation, aggregation of
attribute values using customizable rules.
• Threshold
Setting thresholds to stop data processing
and warn an administrator when a maximal
number of creation, modification or deletionof objects is reached.
• Simulation
Simulation facility through the graphicaleditor. The description of the operations to beperformed is displayed for verification.
• Logging
Identity management operation logging foranalysis and reporting purposes.
Evidian ID Synchronization enables:• the identity consolidation from information
divided into different sources• Reconciliation in case of data inconsistency• Creating or deleting user-related information.

High availability
Evidian ID Synchronization has a High
Availability system to prevent any hardware
and software failures. In order to do this, it isinstalled on two standard servers. If any of theservers fails, the other one takes over without
interrupting the service.
Therefore, the solution optimizes the riskmanagement and information is safely
andreliably updated in directories anddatabases.

Benefits are: when information changes (suchas a user position or mail address), Evidian ID
Synchronization propagates this modification
to the central repository and other identity
sources. Then, access rights are automatically
updated in the applications.

Integration into identity and accessmanagement

When an employee leaves the company,
his application accounts are deactivated ordeleted once his name is erased from theHR databases.

With this suite, you can deploy an access andidentity management policy on the entire
information system, on a step-by-step basis,
with a quickreturn on investment.

Rationalize your access policy

You can exchange data with complete
confidence, enforce laws and regulations,protect sensitive applications, develop
secure services online and reduce security
management costs.

Reinforce and simplify your security
policyWith Evidian ID Synchronization, the user
identity repository always reflects the reality.

No security policy is effective without a reliable
user identification system.

Evidian ID Synchronization enables to deploy
authentication solutions in organizations withmultiple and diversified identity sources. Strong
authentication and single sign-on (SSO) thenbecome easy to manage.

Evidian ID Synchronization can enhance
the identity repository of an IAM toolsuch as Evidian Identity Governance andAdministration.

Evidian ID Synchronization is part of Evidian
Identity Governance and Administration, theIAM Evidian suite.

Updating target repositories
You can use synchronization rules to create asingle, centralized repository. You can also usethem to update a group of target repositories
and thus create a coherent identity on a
distributed set of repositories.
This distribution of identity enables you
to simply solve problems of directoryarchitecture, network flow optimization oreven data homogenization in different and/orincompatible repositories.
