22. Enhanced user interface features
of the portal IDM UserApplication

23. IDM User Application interface
features extension
Customers demands:
The ability not only to manage user group/target system role
membership though IDM, but also to manage (create, edit)
roles/access-groups in target systems WITHOUT system
administrator's help.
Current NetIQ deliverables:
Building tools for Simple forms, suitable for requests with short
number of controls (fields, checkboxes etc.)

24. Example: User Application + jqGrid

25. Example: User Application + jqGrid

26. User Application + jqGrid
•Open Source jqGrid solution integration with
UserApplication Interface.
•jgGrid controls binding with IDM role-based system.
•As a result — ability to build more robust target system
permission management interfaces.
When need such features:
•Integration with systems that does not have native
interfaces for permission grouping or systems with
inconvenient interfaces.
•Demand to create and transfer to business the interfaces
for target system object creation (particularly topical in
banking).

27. Comprehensive Separation of Duties
management

28. Customers demands:
Prevent the registration request on conflict roles (SoD), having
invested the role of the lower levels.
Current NetIQ Deliverables:
NetIQ IDM does not check SoD policies in online forms and between
role model levels. NetIQ IDM does not communicate with the user in
case of policy violation.
Avoiding conflict of roles order

29. SoD Online control from
UserApplication forms
•SoD validation on all built-in
levels in UserApplication
forms.
•SoD violation notification.
