RSA® Credential Manager
Web-based solution for the rapid deployment and lifecycle management of RSA SecurID® authenticators
RSA Credential Manager is a core component of the RSA Identity Assurance portfolio that provides full lifecycle management of RSA SecurID® credentials.
Credential Manager contains tools that both speed the setup and automation of workflows, and enable users to self manage many aspects of their day-to-day token usage. With RSA Credential Manager the entire deployment process - including populating the database and issuing of token codes - is fully automated.
There are two basic components of Credential Manager:
- Self Service - A configurable Self Service console is available for end users to request a variety of services, including issuing On-demand tokencodes for emergency access. When fully deployed, the Self Service module can dramatically reduce the call volume into the IT help desk and aid in providing 24x7 support for end users for all types of requests.
- Workflow Provisioning - Workflow provisioning allows for the creation of productivity saving processes that speed deployment scenarios and ease the work load of IT staff. For example, an administrator can setup workflows so that registration requests from new users within a particular security domain, or ones that fit a certain profile, are routed to a pre-defined approver. That approver can be the head of a department with direct reports in that location or a business manager with a fiscal line of responsibility to that office. With delegated capabilities, approvers familiar with the work situation at a particular location are empowered to make the decision.
