Centralized access control for web applications

Evidian Web Access Manager protects your organization's critical web applications by regulating who can access which web services. Using either transparent proxy or web-server plug-in architectures, it centrally authenticates users with either password, radius, token, certificate, smart card or biometrics. Once identified, the users are then granted access restricted to their roles and entitlements, with dynamic, fine-grained authorization management.

Personalized user environment

Once the user is authenticated and managed by Evidian Web Access Manager, a personalized portal navigation menu is dynamically generated to display only those web applications that the user needs and is authorized to access. This personalization feature comes standard with Evidian Web Access Manager or can be integrated using any third-party web portal software. It not only enforces security, but also enhances the user's experience and productivity within B2E, B2B and B2C communities.

Web single sign-on and dynamic authorization

After initial sign-on, all further log-ins to any pre-defined web sites, applications and databases are transparent to the user. Passwords and authorizations are dynamically provided by Evidian Web Access Manager to each application. Single sign-on eliminates the user frustration of multiple log-ins, resulting in increased user productivity and satisfaction.

Advanced access management, with delegation and user self-service

A single console allows administrators to manage access rights across the enterprise, in synergy with LDAP directories. In addition, role-based delegation allows you to delegate selected management functions to authorized business units or partners, who will see only their assigned capabilities. End users can also benefit from customized self-service, including self-registration, passwords and profile management.

SAML-based multi-domain access management

Evidian Web Access Manager enables security interoperability between federated communities needing the independent management of different security domains. Relying on SAML-based identity credentials generated in real time by the user's domain, entities can dynamically authorize users from a trusted affiliate domain to access their own services. This favors the ultimately flexible security management that is essential for extended enterprises and business communities.

Centralized audit and alarms

Evidian Web Access Manager's sophisticated audit and reporting mechanisms provide pertinent, selective information in a complete set of reports - which can be used for marketing analysis and billing. Its global security management console manages alarms delivered by its own Policy Server or by any third-party security tool, alerting security officers to any risks and vulnerabilities in real time.

Load balancing and high availability

Evidian Web Access Manager servers perform intelligent load balancing and failover over replicated servers, based on Evidian SafeKit technology. It can scale to support implementations with millions of users.

Standards-based extension toolkits

Evidian Web Access Manager is built upon recognized standards including LDAP, SAML, Kerberos, X509 and PKIX. It seamlessly interoperates with security solutions based on Microsoft Passport and Liberty Alliance. It also provides complete toolkits for developing customized functions

Virtual Identity Manager

Evidian Web Access Manager benefits from the Virtual Identity Manager concept that allows easy administration of LDAP-accessible security related directory data. Requiring no synchronization or duplication of data, the data remains in its original source and format.

Companion products

A modular solution, Evidian Web Access Manager can be deployed alone, but it can also be complemented by other products from Evidian IAM Suite.
