VMware announced VMware Identity Manager delivering industry’s first Identity-as-a-Service (IDaaS) offering integrated with enterprise-class mobility management and security solution. VMware Identity Manager enables enterprise identity management that meets consumer-grade expectations with secure, one-touch access to web, mobile and Windows applications. Offered as a cloud service or as an on-premises solution, VMware Identity Manager enables organisations to empower employees to become productive with a self-service application store.
Purpose-built for scale and the Mobile-Cloud Era, VMware Identity Manager will also be used by other VMware solutions and services from VMware vCloud Air to VMware vRealize Air – to provide seamless single sign-on for administrators to easily work across various management interfaces.
Some of its key features include One-touch single sign-on from any device to web, mobile and Windows applications without modification or app wrapping to help streamline access. It also has Unique Adaptive Access delivered by a tight integration between VMware Identity Manager and AirWatch Enterprise Mobility Management. It provides a customizable and context aware HTML5 Application Portal. VMware Identity Manager is available immediately as part of the AirWatch by VMware Blue and Yellow Management bundles, with pricing starting at $150 per end-user, per year.
