August 2023: OpenText Identity and Access Management CE 23.3

The 23.3 release of the OpenTextTM Identity and Access Management platform introduces new technologies and capabilities that increase the value, speed and security of global value chains and collaborative business ecosystems.

Forget passwords – forever. Passwordless authentication provides the ultimate user experience while mitigating the risk of financial loss from unauthorized access due to phishing, stolen partner credentials, replay attacks and other evil means. This API-based solution uses the FIDO2 WebAuthn standard, providing strong assurance that users are who they claim to be and enabling users to sign in with their preferred authentication method – USB key, biometric or mobile device/application – for friction-free access to authorized cloud and off-cloud applications.

Vendor codes – capisce? Vendor codes may look like random number strings to many. However, they provide folks in procurement, sourcing, logistics and other value chain roles with an instant understanding of a vendor relationship. This is why vendor codes are now displayed in OpenText IAM Admin 23.3, providing identity administrators with the context to make quick and accurate access decisions.

Extend trust globally for secure, uninterrupted access – on or off-cloud. Do your vendors and B2B customers complain of excessive logins to access enterprise services and information? Get vendor adoption and customer loyalty KPIs back on track with a scalable and secure approach to extend trust across security domains and deliver single sign-on experiences.

To learn more about harnessing the power of your and securing your distributed additional information, please visit the OpenText Identity and Access web page or view a short video on how to secure third-party identities at scale.

June 2022: OpenText Identity and Access Management CE 22.2

OT IAM platform 22.2 will deliver primarily on the following themes:

  1. Leverages ServiceNow as the primary customer and partner support tool for cloud services related to OpenText Connect. 
  2. A One-time Passcode (OTP) API enhancement enabling the customer to configure the number of wrong attempts prior to the system raising a notification event and disabling access for the user.
  3. An automated method to link between a cloud service, e.g., OT Connect services and OT IAM giving the OpenText customer a singular view of OpenText cloud services from their profile and a seamless single sign-on (SSO) experience. 
  4. A user self-service option enabling the ability to link their OpenText IAM profile to any OpenText Connect cloud service giving the OpenText customer a more singular view of available OpenText Cloud Services
  5. A configurable multi-factor authentication (MFA) option for an industry de facto standard via Symantec VIP enabling the introduction of OpenText IAM into a customer architecture without disrupting existing client MFA implementations based on Symantec VIP.
