DESCRIPTION

Microsoft and Novell are working together to improve interoperability between Windows and Linux environments. Since forging the five-year agreement, the two companies have rolled out a number of interoperability initiatives including virtualization, identity federation, and heterogeneous systems management. This session will provide an overview of the interoperability solutions that you can deploy today to reduce data center costs, gain new levels of flexibility, and streamline operations all with complete peace of mind around licensing and integration.

Identity Federation Example 33. Identity Federation eDirectory Employees Active Directory Business Units Sun One Customers Active Directory SharePoint Novell Access Manager Microsoft SharePoint LDAP and Federated ID to Claims

  • User Authenticates to Access Manager (Direct or Federated)
    • Access Manager can validate identities across multiple identity stores as well as federated authentication from partners using SAML, WS-Fed or Liberty Alliance
  • User accesses SharePoint
    • Access Manager transforms LDAP and Federated Identity into claims that are forwarded to Active Directory Federation Services
  • SharePoint Administrator Mr. Happy
    • Associates claims to SharePoint Groups
  • 34. No need to manage individual identities for all users that need to access SharePoint
  • Improved user experience
    • Single sign-on to SharePoint and other web resources protected by Access Manager

Simplified Access to SharePoint Provides secure and simple way to federate identities from any LDAP directory into Microsoft AD-based web service (eg. SharePoint) 35.
