  2. Introductions • Lehigh University • Sara Rodgers – Team Lead Identity & Access Management • Tricia Wilson – Banner Senior Analyst • APTEC, LLC • Aaron Perry - President

  3. General Announcements: • Please remember to silence all cell phones/pagers • Please hold all questions to the end of the presentation. Thank you for your cooperation

  4. Agenda • Overview of Campus Identity and Access Management (IAM) • Identity in Higher Education • Banner Identity Management Reference Architecture • Lehigh University Case Study • Use Case: Banner Faculty Provisioning / On-Board Process • High Level Oracle Identity Management Architecture • Project & Technical Considerations Implementing Identity Management in a Banner Environment

  5. Campus Identity & Access Management (“IAM”) External Internal SOA Applications Delegated Admin Alumni/ Customers Affiliates Faculty & Staff Students SOA Applications Identity Management Service • Access Management • Authentication & SSO • Authorization & RBAC • Identity Federation Identity Administration • Delegated Administration • Self-Registration & Self-Service • User & Group Management Auditing and Reporting Monitoring and Management Workflow and orchestration • Directory Services • LDAP Directory • Meta-Directory • Virtual Directory • Identity Provisioning • Who, What, When, Where, Why • Rules & access policies • Integration framework Applications Systems & Repositories Hosted By The University of Mary Washington Fac/Staff Student ERP CRM OS (Unix) HR Mainframe NOS/Directories

  6. IAM Solutions Address Top Issues faced by Higher Education Institutions • IAM can improve security, reduce costs, and protect privacy • Security breaches / business disruptions • Operating costs / budgets • Data protection / privacy • Large and growing number of Institutions have experienced IT Security “Breaches” in last 12 months. • Unauthorized access to sensitive institutional data • Research database hacked • Breaches of Student & Facility SSN’s

  7. What we typically see at Higher Education Institutions • Manual Processing • Workflow • Provisioning • Home Grown Solutions • Good at provisioning • Inefficient or non-existent de-provisioning and transfers • Inability to scale to meet growing demands • Inconsistent/ineffective auditing and reporting • Lack of Security Policies and Enforcement • In many cases, still reliant on Open Source solutions • OpenLDAP, CAS, Pubcookie

  8. Identity Requirements in Higher Education Are Complex • Many roles with different access requirements • Users often have multiple roles • Frequently changing roles for most constituents • Multi-campus environment • Legacy of multiple, fragmented identity stores • Integration with Higher Education specific applications; SunGard Banner, BlackBoard, R25, Library and Parking Systems.

  9. Banner Identity Management Reference Architecture

  10. Case Study: Lehigh University • Current Environment • Homegrown system • Developed and supported by staff w/20+ years • Adapted & patched over many years • New constituent groups • Networking and server changes • Compliance requirements • New applications and systems

  11. Case Study: Lehigh University • Project Background • Enterprise Level Solution Identified • Implementation Team Formed • Phase I: Discovery, Documentation, Design • Phase II: Development, Testing, Deployment • Business Drivers • Compliance ( auditors, FERPA, GBL, HIPAA) • Complexity (new roles, more granularity)

  12. Case Study: Lehigh University

  13. Case Study: Lehigh University OID • Technical Drivers • Sustainability – standardized, documented solution • Scalability • Easier to extend the solution to other key applications and infrastructure • Incrementally add functionality such as workflow, approval processes, and attestation • Federation • Security - foundation for enterprise application security framework • Additional and more secure authentication methods • Rich auditing and reporting capability

  14. Project ConsiderationImplementing IdM with Banner • Formation of IdM Steering Committee • Focus on business process and policy • Dedicated resources from the University • Project Manager • Technical Resources

  15. Use Case: Auto On-Board Faculty

  16. Architecture: Lehigh IdM

  17. Technical ConsiderationsImplementing IdM with Banner • Customs Views vs. Sungard Banner IDM Offering • Real-time vs. batch oriented reconciliation. • Requires Oracle Access Manager which Lehigh is not prepared to implement at this time. • Requires Banner 8, which some of our applications are not certified for at this time (EM). • Sungard IDM offerings could be a future upgrade. • Substantial number of constituents that need to be defined and maintained inside of Banner. This is done using GORRSQL and GORIROL and is the main driver of IDM.
