IBM Ties Single Sign-On Software To Tivoli Platform
IBM yesterday introduced a new version of its single sign-on security
software that will let IT administrators manage end users' passwords from
Tivoli's enterprise-management system.
IBM Global Sign-On version 2 is now available as a Tivoli Plus Module,
enabling the single sign-on software to take advantage of the features of
Tivoli's TME 10. Single sign-on systems such as Global Sign-On are
designed to let end users access everything from E-mail to high-end
production applications with one user ID and password.
The integration between IBM Global Sign-On and TME 10 will make user
security easier to administer, says Kate Brew, product line manager of
security for Tivoli, an IBM unit. For example, IT managers will be able to
automatically install the single sign-on software--both client software
and server agents--from the Tivoli Enterprise Console via the console's
software distribution capabilities.
Other features include the ability to set rules from TME 10 that determine
which users can log on to which systems and applications, and check in
real time logon attempts, password resets, and other Global Sign-On
events.
IBM Global Sign-On 2.0 will be available in August. The Global Sign-On
client will be priced at $75 per user and the Global Sign-On will be
priced at $1,999. -- Beth Davis
