v-GO Provisioning Manager

Today, administrators create accounts and credentials for each application, system or platform on behalf of each end user. This takes place manually, through the use of scripts, or via a provisioning solution. Once administrators create the accounts and the credentials, they distribute them to users by e-mail, paper, or phone. The end user logs in with these credentials and is immediately asked to change the password.

v-GO Provisioning Manager enables system administrators to directly distribute user credentials to an Enterprise Single Sign-On solution, eliminating the need to send passwords to users by e-mail, paper, or phone. Users no longer are required to type in passwords. We call this Zero-Touch credential provisioning because end users never need to know or "touch" their credentials.

How It Works

When provisioning a new user on a network, the administrator can inject the user's credentials directly into their v-GO Single Sign-On account so the user does not have to type them into v-GO Single Sign-On. Whenever a password has to be reset, the administrator can update v-GO Single Sign-On simultaneously to prevent the application from falling out of sync with v-GO Single Sign-On. When a user's access to an application is terminated, the administrator can use v-GO Provisioning Manager to quickly remove the corresponding credentials from the user's v-GO Single Sign-On account.

Support for Leading Provisioning Solutions

All of the above operations can be automatically initiated and controlled by industry-leading provisioning systems, such as Sun Identity Manager, BMC Control-SA, IBM Tivoli Identity Manager, Oracle Identity Manager and Microsoft Identity Lifecycle Manager (ILM). v-GO Provisioning Manager also provides an open interface to integrate with other industry or internally developed provisioning systems and existing workflow and account provisioning scripts. It includes an interactive interface for administrators to manually provision credentials as well. v-GO Provisioning Manager can also receive credential data from external sources such as data files.
