User provisioning software is software intended to help organizations more quickly, cheaply, reliably and securely manage information about users on multiple systems and applications. They are a type of identity management system. == Background: Systems, Applications and Users == People are represented by user objects or login accounts on different systems and applications. Examples of systems and applications include: * LDAP directories. * Microsoft Active Directory and Novell eDirectory. * Operating systems such as Linux, Unix, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX and Windows Server. * Mainframe security products such as RAC/F, CA ACF/2 and CA TopSecret. * ERP applications such as SAP R/3, PeopleSoft, JD Edwards, Lawson Financials and Oracle eBusiness Suite. * E-mail systems such as Microsoft Exchange and Lotus Notes. * Databases such as Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, IBM DB2 and MySQL. * A variety of other, custom or vertical-market systems and applications.. User objects generally consist of: * A unique identifier. * A description of the person who has been assigned the user object—principally their name. * Contact information for that person, such as their e-mail address, phone numbers, mailing address, etc. * Organizational information about that person, such as the ID of their manager, their department or their location. * A password and/or other authentication factors. Note that users need not be able to login to a system or application. The user object may be a record in an HR application or an entry in a phone book system, which the user cannot log into but which nonetheless represents the user. User objects are generally connected to other parts of a system or application through security entitlements. On most systems, this is done by placing a user into one or more security groups, where users of each group are granted some security rights. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「User provisioning software」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
