Optimal IdM
Optimal IdM, a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner and member of the Microsoft Security Partner Advisory Council, is a leading Microsoft solution provider of identity management software and consulting solutions.
Optimal IdM’s flagship product, the Virtual Identity Server (VIS), is a Microsoft centric LDAP virtual directory, developed using Microsoft’s .NET platform. VIS is the fastest, most comprehensive LDAP virtual directory available. VIS is an extensible platform providing the virtualization and data transformation layer that leverages and extends the existing investment in the Microsoft infrastructure, while bridging the gap to other platforms.
The Virtual Identity Server for SharePoint (VIS for SharePoint) is built upon the Virtual Identity Server platform and enhances and extends SharePoint with greater functionality. Utilizing VIS for SharePoint, customers can quickly and easily deploy SharePoint across multiple AD forests and LDAP repositories, with additional authentication methods such as: custom SSO, two factor authentication and Common Access Card (CAC).
VIS for SharePoint greatly simplifies and reduces the administration of SharePoint, by providing administrators with a dynamic role-based access control security model for SharePoint. Administrators are no longer required to manage security and group membership on an on-going basis. Instead, business rules are defined once and access is granted or denied dynamically and in real-time.
The Virtual Identity Server Federation Services includes an Identity Provider (IP) Security Token Service (STS) that can authenticate users wherever they reside such as: LDAP directories, SQL databases, and multiple Active Directories (without forest trusts). Additionally, The STS can be trusted by and leveraged within an existing ADFS deployment, allowing ADFS to easily authenticate users against data stores other than Active Directory such as Sun, eDirectory or even a database.
The Virtual Identity Server Federation Services also provides an ADFS deployment with additional out-of-the-box (OOB) authentication methods such as: traditional user id and password (basic), Windows Integrated Authentication, single-sign-on (SSO) to and from other systems, as well as Department of Defense Common Access Card (CAC) authentication.
Each day, millions of users worldwide depend on Optimal IdM’s solutions, for their security, compliance and identity management needs. With solutions deployed on five continents, our customers include Fortune 1000, Federal, State and Local Governments covering a broad range of business verticals.
Headquartered in Florida, Optimal IdM provides sales and services through regional offices across the United States and a growing network of partners and system integrators.
