IDENTITY MANAGEMENT

Identity management is a vital network security component that businesses must maintain while allowing access to authorized users and network devices. Identity management is the accurate and positive identification of network users, hosts, applications, services, and resources. More and more today, companies need to grant network access in a secure way to meet the varying access requirements of remote offices, telecommuters, business partners, suppliers and customers. An Identity Management solution from Tympani will provide a high performance, scalable framework for user identification and access control.

Secure Identity servers extend access security by combining authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA), to verify who can log into the network, the privileges each user has in the network, and record the actions of users on the network and network devices. Organizations can easily control internal configuration of the network by simultaneously using the TACACS+ protocol for network devices and the RADIUS protocol for network user access. With Identity Management, you can also administer and manage user access for routers, VPNs, firewalls, dialup and DSL connections, cable access solutions, storage, content, voice over IP (VoIP), wireless, and switch solutions using the IEEE 802.1 x access control protocol.
