The Swiss health insurer Visana managed approx. 1750 employee accounts to which authorizations were assigned by more than 140 roles. To enhance management of user-related data, Visana required a new identity management infrastructure (IMI).
The goal: Provide a new IMI which ensures higher data consistency, lower administration effort, better security and transparency (e.g. automatic role assignment).
The process: Integrate the SAP-HR system into the IMI by a connector, so that the IMI can retrieve the required information on users and organizational units. Based on this information, the mapping rules – maintained by a workflow within IMI – are applied to automatically assign roles.
The result: A system-aided authorization process, wich is a major benefit in terms of currentness, process quality and traceability. Subsequently, additional features were implemented, such as a new role model based on Syrius ASE and a nightly task to retrieve LDAP information.
Technologies used:
Oracle Identity Manager
Connectors for SAP HR, SUN LDAP, MS Active Directory, MS Exchange
Use of SPML web services for integration of BlueX systems
Reporting based on Oracle BI Publisher
Provisioning of Adcubum Syrius SE through LDIF files
Provisioning of Adcubum Syrius ASE through LDAP
