Identity and Access management takes a key role to comply with regulatory requirements and operational efficiency of a new common cloud platform. Traditional IAM products and architectures with their monolithic approach usually do not meet the requirements of current IT standards such as container technology and micro service architecture. We provide an insight into the problems, challenges, and dependencies associated with the design of a new Identity Management solution for our private cloud. And give an overview of the developed architecture with regard to the goals set in terms of multi tenancy capability, scalability and availability. Further on, we provide an outlook which additional values, features and challenges can be mastered in an increasing, flexible IAM architecture.
Much of identity access management is based on relationships between entities with in the system and this maps very well to a graph based data model. This talk will describe a proposed set of objects and relationships that will support use cases for managing people and things. The goal is to provide a baseline and framework for building more complex and vertical solutions.
