Radiant Logic recently announced that it was forming a working relationship with open source identity and access management vendor ForgeRock, merging Forge’s OpenAM tool with their own RadiantOne offering for businesses looking for easier access to SSO solutions.
Radiant Logic is one of the smaller market players known for identity and context virtualization.
The company’s RadiantOne VDS (Virtual Directory Server) can join Active Directory, LDAP directories, databases, and web services together in order to create a single authoritative source of identity data.
Adding OpenAM means that Forge’s tool no longer has to connect with diverse data stores or disambiguate overlapping identities. The result is a smoother SSO process for organization’s dealing with multiple users and roles.
Radiant’s VDS also acts as an attribute server to OpenAM, allowing granular and contextually-driven authorization decisions. The VDS aggregates attributes across various infrastructures into a complete profile of each user. In turn this feeds OpenAM’s XACML policy engine, which creates the ability for enterprises to target users and policies with a higher degree of accuracy.
