Access Management
Identity and access management
The terms Identity Management and Identity and Access Management (or IAM) are used interchangeably in the area of Identity access management, while identity management itself falls under the umbrella of IT Security.
Web access management
‘Web access management’ (‘WAM’) is a form of identity management that controls access to web resources, providing authentication management, policy-based authorizations, audit and reporting services (optional) and single sign-on convenience.
Web access management
A web access management product can record the initial authentication, and provide the user with a cookie that acts as a temporary token for authentication to all other protected resources, thereby requiring the user to log in only once.
Web access management – History
The new term became known as web access management, because products added the functionality of controlling which resources (web pages) a user could access, in addition to authenticating them.
Web access management – Architectures
There are two different types of architectures when it comes to web access management architectures: plug-in (or web agent) and proxy.
Web access management – Costs
In most cases, the annual maintenance costs dwarf the purchase price. For example, when policy servers are used (in both the plugin and proxy-based architectures), high-end hardware is needed in order to efficiently run the web access management infrastructure, because users will give up on accessing a web page if it takes more than several seconds to respond.
Web access management – Costs
Larger companies spend tremendous amounts of time and money auditing these web access management infrastructures since they are the enforcement points for many internal and external applications.
