IBM Tivoli

SOA Software’s Service Manager™ and Partner Manager™ are designed and implemented to leverage existing infrastructure solutions.  In particular they add considerable value to Identity and Access Management platforms and Operation Management and Monitoring tools.

The Service Manager is Ready-For-Tivoli certified for the Tivoli Access Manager, and has been extensively tested with and deployed in production using the Tivoli Enterprise Console.

One area of particular interest for Tivoli Access Manager (TAM) and Tivoli Federated Identity Manager (FIM) is SOA Software’s Gateway product’s use of TAM and FIM agents to determine and generate the appropriate credential for the destination service before making a SOA request.

SOA Software’s Partner Manager offers exception value when used in conjuntion with Tivoli FIM.  If can provide end-to-end security for transactions between partners referencing the same user by different personas.  For example, a hotel that knows John Doe by his frequent traveler number, can exchange points with a credit card company that knows John Doe by their card number.
