JMA’s Innovative IdAM Solution Drives Seamless Integration and Enhanced Security for our Department of Defense (DoD) Client’s Ambitious Growth Trajectory
Challenge
JMA’s Challenge to Unify Complex Systems for Identity Access Management (IdAM) Framework
As a trusted vendor, JMA faced a significant challenge: enabling a strategy of creating a unified portal, IdAM, and services framework across various departments, including Department of Defense (DoD). The existing landscape encompasses a blend of Java-based web applications, .NET-based web services, Oracle’s Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), and Application Data Framework (ADF) technologies. This complexity is further compounded by the need to seamlessly integrate with diverse platforms like Sun Solaris, Microsoft Windows, Microsoft IIS, Apache Tomcat, Oracle WebLogic, Oracle Identity Manager, Oracle Unified Directory, Oracle Access Manager, and Azure DevOps.
