In Version 6.2 of IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager, the company has integrated a number of user-focused identity management technologies and frameworks, including OpenID, Microsoft Windows CardSpace and the Eclipse Higgins identity framework.
The idea, IBM officials said, is to bring multiple identities into one central, federated identity management system that supports both legacy and newer user-centered frameworks.
"Federated identity is not for the faint-hearted," Hudson said. "It is getting easier, [as can be seen by] recent announcements by IBM, Ping, etc., but it requires a lot of up-front planning and detailed integration work."
