How is Identity Manager related to Sun Identity Auditor and Sun Identity Manager Service Provider Edition?
Identity Manager combines the functionality of Identity Manager, Identity Auditor, and Identity Manager SPE into one converged provisioning and identity auditing product. This means that business rules, roles and audit policies will all be synchronized and shared across the provisioning and auditing processes. For example, when a user changes jobs within the company, automated identity auditing can detect whether a segregation of duties violation will occur as a result–even before the user is ever provisioned for the new role, thus preventing the violation from occurring in the first place. Automated identity auditing can also detect whether a violation is already taking place and instantly remediate it through automated provisioning. The result is that the company can evaluate and enforce appropriate access in a repeatable, sustainable way, dramatically reducing the risk of non-compliance with company audit policies and government regulations.
