HP PMC Identity Driven Manager (IDM)
HP PMC Identity Driven Manager (IDM)
HP PMC IDM is a plug-in to HP PCM+ and uses RADIUS-based technologies
to create a user-centric approach to network access management and network
activity tracking and monitoring. IDM enables control of access security
policy from a central management server, with policy enforcement to the
network edge, and protection against both external and internal threats.
Using IDM, a system administrator can configure automatic and dynamic
security to operate at the network edge when a user connects to the network.
This operation enables the network to:
â– approve or deny access at the edge of the network instead of in the core;
â– distinguish among different users and what each is authorized to do;
â– configure guest access without compromising internal security.
Criteria for enforcing RADIUS-based security for IDM applications includes
classifiers such as:
â– authorized user identity
â– authorized device identity (MAC address)
â– software running on the device
â– physical location in the network
â– time of day
Responses can be configured to support the networking requirements, user
(SNMP) community, service needs, and access security level for a given client
and device.
