Novell has announced Access Manager 3, its newest access management solution. The product is a single access management solution that protects both Web and enterprise applications.

Novell Access Manager 3 provides a single solution for enterprise security and access control that combines Web single sign-on and remote access. This release now fully integrates standards-based identity federation, enabling customers to securely share identity information across organisational and technical boundaries. Moreover, Novell Access Manager 3 features an innovative approach to simplify federation deployments by dynamically translating between identity federation standards, including Liberty Alliance and Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML). The product also features an integrated, clientless Secure Sockets Layer Virtual Private Network (SSLVPN) to enable seamless access control and role-based authorization to back-end applications. It also incorporates enhancements for multi-factor authentication, data encryption, fine-grained access, role-based access control and scalable enforcement of enterprise-wide access polices. The system has been enhanced to include native support for a broad range of platforms and directory services to provide a single, centralised and secure access management solution for the enterprise. Features:

• accessibility without vulnerability secure, hassle-free access to Web and enterprise applications based on the user's role within a company or their association to it
  
• regulatory Compliance generates reports that detail access events across the network, such as who authenticated to a particular resource and when the resource was accessed
  
• centralised administration eliminates the need for multiple, disparate administration tools and reduce the time and cost associated with managing user access
  
• simplified identity federation and federated provisioning leverages leading industry standards, including SAML and Liberty Alliance protocols, to securely share identity information across traditional security boundaries and enable applications for federation without modifying content or installing additional software on the Web server.
