UNIFIED PRIVILEGE, IDENTITY MANAGEMENT AND SECURE
AUTHENTICATION CASE STUDIES
University of Western Sydney
The University of Western Sydney identified the requirement for a roadmap to guide the development of identity management within the staff and student community.
The university is distributed and diverse, with six campuses and three faculties, each comprising multiple schools. The diversity of needs across the university was frustrating the provision of business services and the identity management environment was becoming increasingly fragmented and complex. Directory provisioning of staff and students on commencement, and the timely removal of their accounts on exit, was not occurring in an efficient and effective way.
ICA was engaged to follow an inclusive approach whereby each school contributed to the derivation of the roadmap. A three-step process was followed whereby an Environmental Scan was conducted and documented identifying the main identity stores and consuming systems in use within the university, a series of key-person interviews and workshops with strategic groups were conducted, and the Roadmap was defined and documented using a straw-man model approach.
The Roadmap recommended the sequence of deploument of IDM components over a three year period.
Orica Identity and Access Management Project
ICA undertook a major project for Orica, a world wide explosives manufacturing company with some 20,000 identities. This project
involved identifying and documenting the requirements for identity and access management within the company both in Australia,
New Zealand, Europe and in the US. Meetings were also held with representativies of South America and Europe business operations.
A scan of the industry was undertaken and a short-list of prospective suppliers was identified.
Key-person interviews were conducted across the organisation to identify the various needs of each division and workshops were held
to prioritise the requirements. Process maps of the main provisioning activities were generated and a solutions architecture was
defined.
The project culminated with the generation of “Request for proposal” documentation to be distributed to the identified short-list.
Queensland Transport Directory & Identity Management Consulting
ICA led a major project for a Queensland Government agency which involved documenting the directory infrastructure, the administrative
processes and the directory policy for such elements as the determining the relative distinguished name for staff entries. A
review of the provisioning of the enterprise directory and its relationship to the SAP-HR provisioning process was undertaken.
A strategy and architecture document was produced mapping the maturity of the directory management within the organisation to a 5
level maturity index framework. The migration path to a full role-based architecture was mapped out.
Singapore Government
ICA was involved in an Identity Management & provisioning project for the Singapore Government Investment Corporation which led to the
implementation of a centralised Identity Store to provide SOX(Sarbanes Oxley) compliant reporting together with automatic provisioning
and de-provisioning to some 100 application systems.
