OpenIDM: Target Use Cases
■ Embeddable
– Account Management
– Self-Service
■ Extranet / Customers / Partners /
Suppliers
– Large scale user management
– Federated provisioning [Bridge]
■ Enterprise
– Sun IDM replacement (for target use cases)
– Internal & External (hybrid) environments
5. 5
Core Use Case Functionality
• Basic CRUD via RESTful API
• Automate (digitize) workflow processes
• Authoritative-source [HR] provisioning
• Password synchronization (AD intercept)
• Synchronize identity data
• Reporting & Compliance
• Self-service and password management
• Profile & entitlement management
6. 6
Flexible Architecture
“Plug & Play” Architecture
■ All services are designed as
standalone modular
resources.
■ Use & run only those
modular services needed.
■ Examples of Modularity:
– Repository
– Reporting
– BPM / Workflow Engine
– Scripting languages
Embeddable Architecture
■ Tiny footprint and 100%
open source for embeddable
IDM
■ Out-of-the-box REST
interfaces that use standard
development tools for all
programming languages
(e.g. -- Java, C, Perl, PHP,
Ruby, Groovy, etc)
7. 7
Simple API & Scripting Model
REST API
■ Manage all core functions
using REST– UI, user admin,
sync, reconciliation.
■ Mirrors World Wide Web, and
uses HTTP protocol –
something ALL developers
understand
■ Platform and language
independent for enterprise,
cloud, social and mobile
environments.
JavaScript and Groovy
Scripting
■ Super friendly languages for
scripting custom rules and
business logic.
■ Standard scripting languages
attractive to massive number
of developers.
■ Scripting approach is agile,
lightweight and can be
dynamically modified at run-
time.
