An enterprise identity management solution can provide a mechanism for implementing the user management aspects of a corporate policy. Oracle Access Manager:

    Other Advice:

    Access Management Oracle Access Manager stores information about configuration settings and security policies, that control access to resources in a directory server that uses Oracle Access Manager-specific object classes. You can use the same directory to store the Access System configuration settings, access policy data, and user data, or you can store this data on separate directory servers. Administrators can use the Access System to protect web resources and enterprise resources such as J2EE applications, servlets, Enterprise Java Beans (EJBs), and legacy systems. The Access System also supports both Web (HTTP) and similar types of data in non-Web (non-HTTP) resources. Using the Access System for security administration enforces your company's access security policies for Web applications and content; provides common security measures across multiple Web servers and applications; combines a centralized policy creation with decentralized management and enforcement; and enables granular control over security, across heterogeneous applications, as well as out-of-the-box integration with Oracle products, such as Oracle Portal, Oracle Collaboration Suite, and Oracle E-Business Suite.
