  • Publication number: 20060190985
    Abstract: A distributed enterprise includes a policy management module and policy library for automating policy change alerting. The policy management module and policy library are configured to list associations between published policies, published policy exceptions, and one or more systems policies, and to determine if changes to published (written) enterprise policies, published policy exceptions, or systems policies have occurred. The policy management module and policy library are also configured to notify personnel of the distributed enterprise so that appropriate actions may be implemented.

  • Publication number: 20060143126
    Abstract: A system includes a working state of an identity store having an account object, definitive state data having an account object in a known state, and a consistency checking module operable to determine whether the account object in the working state is consistent with the account object in the definitive state. The system also includes a self-healing module operable to manage the lifecycle of objects in the working state of the identity store. A method includes detecting an inconsistency between an account object in a definitive state repository and a corresponding account object in a working state repository, and generating an alert based on the detecting of the inconsistency.

  • Publication number: 20060143685
    Abstract: A method for managing changes to policies in an enterprise includes receiving a systems policy change request to change a systems policy that implements a published enterprise policy, determining whether the requested systems policy change complies with the published enterprise policy, and updating the systems policy according to the requested systems policy change if the requested systems policy change complies with the published enterprise policy. A system for managing policies in an enterprise includes a policy management module configured for receiving published policies and generating corresponding systems policies having data for implementing the published policies, and a policy library storing the published policies and the systems policies.

  • Publication number: 20050065977
    Abstract: Exemplary methods, devices, systems, and/or storage media for organizational data management, including staging, synchronizing, and exporting of organizational data. Exemplary data aggregation rules specify methods for aggregating data from a remote repository. Schemas are exemplary rules configuration data structures having elements for associating processing data objects in a buffer space objects in a core space. The elements may also specify importing attributes into and exporting attributes from the core space.

  • Publication number: 20040225674
    Abstract: Subject matter includes exemplary flexible rules for defining an information management process, for example a process that manages information being transferred between databases or with respect to an exemplary metadirectory. The flexible rules have inherent logic to define part of an information management action or a database structure and perform a call out for custom logic. The custom logic performs or defines another part of the information management action or database structure. Besides the exemplary flexible rules, the subject matter describes exemplary identity information management processes, engines, and related methods.

  • Publication number: 20040225670
    Abstract: Exemplary methods and systems provide a relational directory of organizational information. Organizational data objects and their associated attributes are maintained in a relational directory. An organizational hierarchy is converted to a relational directory using projection, joining, and import attribute flow rules. Attributes in a relational directory may be exported out of the relational directory to a hierarchical directory.
