At the Cloud Identity Summit last week, one thing was patently obvious – the agenda was filled with super interesting talks from very talented speakers. So given that I was talking about the riveting (not!) topic of user provisioning, I knew I had to pique peoples curiosity to draw them in. To that end, I [...]

The Identity Glue for the Cloud Gets A Heavyweight
Something big happened in identity today, but it may not have registered on the seismic scale because of the company involved. VMWare announced the launch of the Horizon App Manager, an identity and access control platform for enterprises that want to securely adopt SaaS applications. An outgrowth of the TriCipher purchase last year, Horizon App [...]
Building a Strong Foundation for Your Cloud with Identity Management
That was the topic of my talk at OpenWorld this year. Fitting, I think, considering the emphasis that was put on Cloud Computing at OOW this year, starting with Larry’s opening keynote on Sunday. In my session, I talked about how, thanks in large part to the emergence of cloud computing, enterprises are moving towards [...]
Cloud and IdM Together Again – at OpenWorld
It’s that time of year again – when my blog goes silent because I have been heads down preparing for Oracle’s event of the year. And this year’s OpenWorld is jam packed with all sorts of goodness. The lineup in the Identity Management track is loaded with information, especially for anyone looking to learn more [...]
Fed-Prov and the Cloud: JIT Provisioning.Next
In my last post, I discussed the basic architectural model of Just-In-Time Provisioning, and some challenges it has in addressing enterprise needs related to cloud computing. In this post, I will propose some possible enhancements to the basic architecture that could address those challenges. Each of these solutions could be viable, though each seems to [...]
Fed-Prov and the Cloud: JIT Provisioning to the Rescue?
In my last post, I talked about Advance Provisioning, and how it was problematic in the cloud world because of the integration work and pre-defined business relationships (at an IT level) it requires. A lot of the appeal in using and delivering cloud-based services is the ability to enable short-lived and limited-use business relationships (case [...]
Advance (Federated) Provisioning and the Cloud
It’s pretty gratifying that some really smart people are doing a deep-dive on the ideas I threw out there in my “Federated Provisioning and the Cloud” deck and challenging some of the ideas in there. Means that I get to tap into the brain power out there in the identity community to flesh out the [...]
My GlueCon Talk on “Federated Provisioning and the Cloud”
Last week I attended GlueCon, a 2-day developer-oriented conference focusing on the technologies that make/will make the cloud go. As usual, Eric Norlin and team did an excellent job curating a conference with lots of interesting content, some of which was quite new to me. And the energy levels were extremely high (I can’t remember [...]
Bringing Identity and the Cloud together at the European Identity Conference
Last week I was in Munich for the annual European Identity Conference organized by the good folks at Kuppinger Cole. The agenda was jam packed with interesting topics, and I had the opportunity to be on 3 different (albeit consecutive) panels. I’m still digesting all that I heard and the wonderful conversations I had at [...]
See you at the European Identity Conference
Just a quick reminder that if you are at the European Identity Conference taking place in Munich right now (from May 4-7), then I will be on 3 (count that, 3) back-to-back panels tomorrow (today) – Wednesday May 5th. I already told you about the first two in a previous post, but I am now [...]
