SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 7, 1999--
ClearTrust SecureControl Access Management Suite to
Leverage NDS eDirectory for Automated Security Administration
Securant Technologies-a leading developer of access management
products for secure e-business-today announced that it has joined the
Novell Partnership Program on the industry level and will conduct
joint integration testing to ensure seamless interoperability with
NDS(R) eDirectory(TM). This integration will allow ClearTrust
SecureControl to directly link to and access user information
contained in NDS eDirectory for enforcing security policies and
controlling access to Web- and network-based applications and content.
Through seamless integration with LDAP directories, like NDS
eDirectory, ClearTrust SecureControl reduces administrator workloads,
management costs and tightens security.
This partnership will provide NDS eDirectory customers a high
degree of interoperability and reliability with ClearTrust
SecureControl. By directly accessing user information contained in
NDS, ClearTrust SecureControl automates security policy enforcement
and unifies the complete range of access management functions
including authentication, authorization, access control, single
sign-on, delegated administration and auditing for Web- and
network-based resources.
"NDS eDirectory is the directory of choice for customers building
Intranet and Extranet applications," said Dave Shirk, vice president
of product marketing, Novell, Inc. "ClearTrust SecureControl provides
our customers with a scalable and comprehensive security
infrastructure that leverages the rich level of content in NDS
eDirectory to personalize and enforce enterprise security policies
across both Web- and non-Web applications."
"NDS is one of the most widely deployed directories in the
industry for Intranet and Extranet applications," said Eric Olden,
Chief Technology Officer, Securant Technologies. "ClearTrust
SecureControl allows enterprises with NDS-based networks to maximize
their directory investments and provides a comprehensive solution for
centralizing and automating the management of security services across
both Web and enterprise application environments."
About ClearTrust SecureControl
ClearTrust is an integrated, rules-based and directory-enabled
suite of security products that provides a unified access management
(UAM) infrastructure for secure e-business. The first product in the
ClearTrust suite, SecureControl, is based on Internet standards and
allows enterprises and service providers to centrally control user
access - including access control, single sign-on, authentication,
authorization, delegated administration and auditing - to Extranet,
Intranet, Internet and networked applications. ClearTrust
SecureControl uses Smart Rules(TM) technology and a resource-based
security model to automate the administration of security policy for
millions of users and provide dynamic updates to access control
permissions based on actual business data. By using SmartRules to
manage security on a resource-basis rather than a user basis,
ClearTrust SecureControl dramatically reduces administrator workloads.
