Enterprise Credentialing Partnership with Microsoft
Intercede (London Stock Exchange AIM: IGP) today announces the
release of the Intercede MyID Management Agent (MA) for Microsoft
Forefront Identity Manager (FIM). This is the culmination of close
collaboration with the Microsoft Identity and Access Management
technical team.
The combination of Intercede MyID and Microsoft FIM provides
customers with today's most comprehensive credentialing solution
for Enterprise customers.
The Intercede MyID Management Agent for Forefront Identity
Manager enables Intercede MyID to work as a 'plug-in' into FIM.
This significantly simplifies the task of adding smart card and
credential management capabilities to any Microsoft FIM enabled
environment. Organisations that rely on Microsoft infrastructure
can now take advantage of Intercede MyID to more easily reinforce
their defences against cyber attack and identity fraud. This may
include issuing smart cards to employees for smart card logon,
email signing and encryption, VPN access, BitLocker encryption and
other enhanced security features.
Intercede MyID's flexible issuance policies allow organizations
to rapidly implement 'best practice' card and credential management
processes, to enhance security and to increase user
satisfaction.
Key features include:
-- Technology independent, supporting a wide range of smart
cards, USB tokens, printers, certificate authorities etc.
-- Supports key archive and recovery for replacement cards.
-- Management of temporary cards.
-- Graphical card layout editor and card printing.
-- Can be integrated directly into the FIM / Sharepoint GUI for
a single system view.
-- Fully FIPS 201 compliant (PIV, PIV-Interoperable and
PIV-Compatible).

Richard Parris, Intercede Chairman & Chief Executive,
said:
"We are delighted that Microsoft has recognised the advantages
that Intercede MyID brings to any corporate identity management
infrastructure built around FIM. This is demonstrated by the
comprehensive level of support we have received from Microsoft
technical staff during the integration and development stages of
this project.
Our key message is that Intercede MyID in combination with
Microsoft's FIM enables our joint customers to easily increase
productivity through the use of MyID and FIM's integrated identity
management business processes, to enhance security with smart card
and token based windows logon, and to save money by fully utilising
their existing investments in Microsoft technology. "
Robert Jones, Microsoft IDA Program Manager, said:
"Microsoft Forefront Identity Manager provides companies with
numerous opportunities to cut costs and reduce workloads. Intercede
is a great example of how our partner companies are leveraging new
features and technology improvements in our products to help joint
customers save time and money."
