IBM® Tivoli® Federated Identity Management (FIM) provides a simple, loosely-coupled model for managing identity and access to resources that span companies or security domains. Rather than replicate identity and security administration of companies, FIM provides a simple model for managing identities and providing them with access to information and services in a trusted fashion. For companies deploying service oriented architecture (SOA) and Web services, FIM provides policy-based integrated security management for federated Web services. The foundation of FIM is trust, integrity, and privacy of data.
