New Release: One Identity Manager 8.2

One Identity, a company specialized in identity-based security strategies, has launched a new release of the Identity Manager. Version 8.2 of the Identity Manager has a significantly expanded range of functions.

• Improved user-friendliness and simplified customizing thanks to modern web application architecture
  
  To improve the use of the Angular platform, the API Designer has been completely redesigned. Equipped with various "out-of-the-box" templates, it allows user-friendly and simplified customization of an API design to meet the individual needs of your company. 

• Optimized cost efficiency, higher availability and flexible scaling via database extensions
  
  With version 8.2, the Identity Manager based on Azure SQL Managed Instance now also supports CertAccess and on-demand development environments. A split of the central databases (1st database for data storage, 2nd database for processes and their objects) can also be mapped, which improves performance noticeably.

• Stronger focus on business processes through decentralized application control
  
  In addition to the previous access requests/confirmations and recertifications, departments can now maintain their apps with authorizations independently and decentrally. This includes the complete overview, ownership, segregation of duties (SODs) and key performance indicators (KPIs) from a business perspective.

• Leaner administration through enhanced connectivity

  • Identity Manager 8.2 supports non-standard LDAP systems, making it easier to integrate legacy systems into modern identity management.

  • Integration of Microsoft Teams: This enables efficient management and control of authorization management in teams, i. e. the administration of owners and channels. This also includes the associated processes.

  • Further administration and governance functions of Azure AD have been integrated into version 8.2, including service principals, app roles including assignments, guest accounts, licence management, additional attributes for user and group objects.

  • SAP integration has been improved. From now on, all entry points and web services are supported.

  • Optimized support for business-critical applications in the health sector, for example from EPIC, one of the largest international software providers in the health sector.
