HID Global announced its OMNIKEY Device Service Provider (DSP) software for IBM Tivoli TAM enterprise single sign on (eSSO).
The new software lets customers have converged physical and logical access control on a single card by using their contactless physical access credentials, with IBM Tivoli TAM eSSO for sign on to IT networks.
The OMNIKEY DSP software is certified for use with IBM Tivoli Access Manager eSSO and enables plug-and-play connectivity of HID Global’s OMNIKEY contactless readers with IBM Tivoli Service Provider Interface (SPI) for secure sign on to critical network assets. Thomas Muth, product line manager with HID, says: “Contactless authentication to computer networks using the same credential for physical access is a powerful combination that delivers the highest level of convenience and security to enterprise end users. HID Global’s OMNIKEY DSP software extends the universe credentials that can be used with IBM Tivoli and OMNIKEY smart card readers, while leveraging an organisation’s existing card base to offer a cost effective solution that is easy to deploy.”
Supporting standard iCLASS®, iCLASS SEä, HID® PROX, MIFARE® and other technologies for contactless sign on to IBM Tivoli, the OMNIKEY DSP software can be deployed to large networks and includes a graphical user interface as well as a configurable Windows Unattended Setup Installer. The software is available immediately and can be downloaded free at www.hidglobal.com/ibm-tivoli.
