AccessMatrix™ UAM SDK
Overview
AccessMatrix Universal Access Management (UAM) is a comprehensive enterprise application access control, single sign-on and security administration system. UAM controls and manages user access to all enterprise applications. Leveraging on the AccessMatrix technology, UAM fulfils the most rigorous form of application security by providing security administration, authentication, authorization, and audit services (4As) to business applications within your organization. With UAM, multiple applications are able to access a common set of security services through tight integration with our AccessMatrix security server.
Improving Application Security
The UAM security infrastructure is designed to secure multi-tier applications, either web-based or non web - based, running on multiple heterogeneous platforms. The AccessMatrix hierarchical model allows organizations to deploy a single security infrastructure for easy integration with multiple applications. All access control decisions are made by the AccessMatrix security server. The UAM solution is highly scalable, promotes software re - use and reduces application maintenance and support efforts.
Providing Flexible Agent Technology And Policy-Driven Access Control
UAM provides a set of security APIs for developers to tightly integrate web and non-web
applications. With UAM's Web Security Agents (WSA) and Application Security Agents (ASA),
access to the resources within web servers and application servers are protected based on the
access control policy defined by the security administrators.
This policy-driven approach greatly simplifies user administration and application integration.
UAM is built on the AccessMatrix framework and UAM inherits the salient features of
AccessMatrix, in addition to its own features.
