Key Enhancements


Access Control 10 and IdM-Driven Integrated ProvisioningKey Enhancements

Improved communication between IdM and AC that enables a complete view of request

approval process

IdM able to perform real-time access risk analysis, prior to submitting request for remediation

Improved infrastructure to support standard SPML1.0 protocol for all outbound

communication from AC

In addition to SAP‘s own Identity Management solution, we are actively working with our Identity

Management partners to ensure they have their corresponding releases ready, and take

advantage of the new functionality.


Access Control 10 and IdM Integration Implementation Considerations

Request submission source

From where will the provisioning request be initiated (AC and/or IdM)?

Provisioning roles

Role source: Where will the roles for provisioning be maintained (AC and/or IdM)?

Preferred approach is to have one role source for SAP roles.

Approval workflow

Do you want to use approval workflow within AC and/or IdM?

Need to consider user notifications from AC and/or IdM

Risk analysis

When provisioning new users, the request does not have to be submitted to AC for risk analysis and no polling is required. IdM can retrieve the result by also polling the risk analysis web service with Request ID.

When provisioning existing users, risk analysis can be called by IdM.

Request status and audit trails

Consider requirements for request status and audit trails while defining the integration solution. (Web services can only pass certain fields while more details may be viewed natively in AC or IdM.)

Existing functionality and change control

IdM’s change control policy and its impact on solution and implementation: Are changes to the current IdM process realistic?
