Security Overview
HP PMC Identity Driven Manager (IDM)
HP PMC Identity Driven Manager (IDM)
HP PMC IDM is a plug-in to HP PCM+ and uses RADIUS-based technologies
to create a user-centric approach to network access management and network
activity tracking and monitoring. IDM enables control of access security
policy from a central management server, with policy enforcement to the
network edge, and protection against both external and internal threats.
Using IDM, a system administrator can configure automatic and dynamic
security to operate at the network edge when a user connects to the network.
This operation enables the network to:
■ approve or deny access at the edge of the network instead of in the core;
■ distinguish among different users and what each is authorized to do;
■ configure guest access without compromising internal security.
Criteria for enforcing RADIUS-based security for IDM applications includes
classifiers such as:
■ authorized user identity
■ authorized device identity (MAC address)
■ software running on the device
■ physical location in the network
■ time of day
Responses can be configured to support the networking requirements, user
(SNMP) community, service needs, and access security level for a given client
and device.
