As part of IBM's Autonomic Computing initative Server Groups IBM
eServer™® Security is providing a user registry mapping infrastructure and programming model to help enable products and applications to more securely run on both IBM and non-IBM systems. This is intended to help these types of products and applications to function and interoperate efficiently in a heterogeneous computing environment. IBM plans to deliver EIM this year on all IBM server platforms: z/OS, OS/400, AIX, Linux on Intel, and Windows2000.
|
| EIM enables application providers (such as vendors, customers, business partners) to address the problem of dealing with multiple user registries more easily and with less cost than previously possible. Customers can write multi-tier applications that never have to ask the user for a platform-specific user identity and password when accessing legacy data. This capability can eliminate the need to cache or send passwords over the network as is typically done with these types of products and applications. Furthermore, for IBM platforms, the data will continue to be protected by IBM's highly-respected, platform-specific security services. |
