About: IBM Enterprise Identity Mapping

An Entity of Type: software, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

IBM Enterprise Identity Mapping (EIM) is a framework from IBM that allows the mapping of different identities (user IDs) on various platforms, user repositories and applications to a single identity. It can be used with a range of authentication mechanisms such as Kerberos (protocol) (e.g. as used by MS Active Directory) to allow one user repository to authenticate the user and for this information to be passed via a secure token to another platform for authorisation even when the User IDs differ. The target platform refers to EIM to obtain the mapping identity for its own repository.

Property Value
dbo:abstract
  • IBM Enterprise Identity Mapping (EIM) is a framework from IBM that allows the mapping of different identities (user IDs) on various platforms, user repositories and applications to a single identity. It can be used with a range of authentication mechanisms such as Kerberos (protocol) (e.g. as used by MS Active Directory) to allow one user repository to authenticate the user and for this information to be passed via a secure token to another platform for authorisation even when the User IDs differ. The target platform refers to EIM to obtain the mapping identity for its own repository. In this way it enables single sign-on. It is sometimes possible to eliminate passwords on the target system. It is available free of charge on all IBM server platforms including those running z/OS, IBM i, IBM AIX, Linux, PowerLinux and Windows Server plus earlier releases such as i5/OS. In the case of IBM i both EIM and Kerberos authentication are an integral part of the OS. (en)
