Native Infrastructure in OS/400 enables the elimination of passwords |
| In recent years, two trends have converged to bring the management of user accounts and passwords to the forefront. CEOs are pushing to lower costs in Information Technology operations, and regulations like the Sarbanes-Oxley act and HIPAA have placed new emphasis on the security of Information Technology (IT) resources. Significant efforts are wasted on managing and maintaining passwords across multiple systems and applications. Users forget passwords, resulting in costly calls to the helpdesk to reset passwords. Gartner Group studies have shown that password reset calls represent 15-35% of all help desk calls at a cost of up to $31 per call. IBM have provided a solution in the form of the Enterprise Identity Mapping (EIM) infrastructure in OS/400, which enables the implementation of Single Sign-On and potentially even elimi nation of passwords.
