Siemens is provider of end-to-end solutions for
Identity and Access Management allowing a reliable
control of users and their privileges. Identity and
Access Management support the lifecycle management
of identities and access rights in heterogeneous IT
environments. The right persons are thus granted the
right access rights at the right time – in a fast,
secure and economic manner.
Based on a strategic partnership with SAP, the
DirX family enables an integrated
Identity Management for SAP NetWeaver®, mySAP™ ERP
and other SAP systems in heterogeneous environments.
Identity and Access Management
comprises:
- Creation and maintenance of identities: import of
identities from authoritative sources, e.g. from HR
or CRM systems and the unification and consolidation
of the imported identities to one unambiguous
identity per user,
- Management of privileges and policies based on
roles, rights and adherence to groups including the
manual or automatic, rule-based assignment of
privileges,
- User and access management with the provisioning
of users and access rights to corporate resources
and the password management and
- Authentication of users, i.e. their identification
and validation,
- Authorization, i.e. the verification of access
requests to resources as well as the decision about
the access based on centrally managed guidelines and
- Audit functions for logging the access requests
and decisions, for analyzing the records and for
generating reports
