Service oriented applications require security as a service, including identity services. This requirement is dictating that IAM product suites must decompose into suites of identity services, capable of interoperating, no matter the mix of vendors.
Keystone seamlessly interoperates with legacy IAM components such as directories, virtual directories, web access management, provisioning, identity administration, identity audit and compliance, role management and workflow, regardless of vendor.
Keystone fills the gaps and elevates the existing IAM infrastructure and maturity level, without requiring re-engineering.
Keystone integrates with a vast array of applications through various methods. The method is determined by the development platform and to what degree the application is extensible. Through these options, Keystone is able connect to almost any application and provide powerful, consistent and cost effective, enterprise authentication, SSO, centralized security administration and fine-grained access control.
