About ProCurve Identity Driven Manager
Introduction
• A Decision Manager that receives the user data and checks it against
user data in the local IDM data store. Based on the parameters defined
in the data store for the user data received, the Decision Manager
outputs access parameters for VLAN, QoS, bandwidth, and network
resource access to the RADIUS interface component.
• A Local Data Store that contains information on Users and the Access
Policy Groups to which the user belongs. The Access Policy Group
defines the rules that determine the user’s access rights.
The IDM Server provides configuration and monitoring of Identity Driven
Manager. It operates as an add-on module to PCM+, using the PCM model
database to store IDM data, and a Windows GUI (client) to provide access to
configuration and monitoring tools for IDM.
You use the IDM GUI to monitor IDM Agent status and users logged into the
network, and to manage IDM configuration, including:
• Defining access parameters for the network, such as locations, times,
network resources, and access profiles.
• Creating access profiles that define the network resources and
attributes (VLAN, QoS, bandwidth) assigned to users in an Access
Policy Group.
• Creating Access Policy Groups with rules (access policies) that will
be assigned to users in that Group.
• Assigning users to Access Policy Groups.
• Deploying IDM configuration data to the IDM Agent on the RADIUS
server.
