VANADIS Authentication Infrastructure Solution

What is an Authentication Infrastructure Solution?

Today, with almost all business operations being systematized, it is becoming increasingly important to manage login IDs and passwords. Permission management, which controls data access permissions according to roles and responsibilities, has become indispensable for any corporation.
In such a situation, authentication infrastructure solutions allow for single sign-on through the central management of user information and permission information used in multiple systems deployed in-house, using a database.

Do you face these problems with your authentication infrastructure?

To address the following problems, we provide solutions making use of our experience and know-how cultivated through the construction of NTT DATA Group's in-house authentication systems.

Concerns related to ID management

User

  • Need to remember different IDs/passwords for each system
  • Heavy workload due to setting changes to be made each time the organization changes

Administrator

  • Data is updated every time the organization changes, making operations cumbersome
  • Human error occurs due to manual work
  • Want to set usage restrictions for operations based on permissions
  • Want to promote operational efficiency

⇒ Integrated Identity Management—VANADIS Identity Manager We propose VANADIS Identity Manager for integrated ID management.

Concerns related to user authentication
