White paper: COSuser - a description of its architecture  

Abstract

Secure Identity Management, and user provisioning in particular, is currently receiving a lot of media attention due to the demonstrable Return on Investment (RoI) and other benefits that such software solutions provide. There are, however, a number of "real-world" problems that need to be dealt with when trying to provide a robust, scalable, flexible software architecture that will allow an end user organization to benefit from its implementation.

The requirements of end user organizations are diverse, even within the same industry, and it is essential that any solution must cater for that diversity. It is simple enough to design software that will work in theory, another to design a product that will work in practice.

This White Paper provides a detailed description of the architecture of one such proven, software product – COSuser – including the underlying concepts and the functional components.
