Announcing HP-UX 11i Identity Management Integration

[Bob Neal-Joslin]

HP announces A new feature for HP-UX 11i: Identity Management Integration.

IdMI allows HP-UX to integrate with identity management infrastructures. With version A.01.00 of IdMI, HP-UX uses HP OpenView Select Access for:

* Authentication for user access to the OS and its services
* Authorization of users attempting to perform privileged OS and application functions.

For additional information, refer to the HP Software Depot at:

Dear Bob,

Its really nice, I liked the RBAC implementaion in HPUX.

The HP-UX RBAC feature on HP-UX 11iv2 is an alternative to the traditional "all-or-nothing" root user model, which grants permissions to the root user for all operations, and denies permissions to non-root users for certain operations. HP-UX RBAC allows you to distribute administrative responsibilities by creating appropriate authorizations for HP-UX 11iv2 applications and assigning them to non-root users and groups. The acpm_sa authorization module delivered in HP-UX 11i IdMI A.01.00 allows Select Access to control HP-UX RBAC authorizations based access rights defined in the Select Access Policy Builder GUI.

It will defenetly be useful in many scenarios.

Thanks for info.

With Regards,

Siva.
