Radiant Logic Unveils VDS 6

Radiant Logic, a provider of virtual directories, recently unveiled RadiantOne VDS 6, the first federated identity service. A sophisticated virtualization platform designed to address the complexity of today’s identity environments, RadiantOne VDS 6 integrates identities into unified profile views based on multiple application contexts across heterogeneous data sources including directories, databases, Web services and applications. This provides a central access point for all LDAP, SQL, and DSML-enabled applications across security domains and AD forests.

With VDS 6, a user can delegate authentication to appropriate sources, using source-specific security means to address authentication challenges in highly disparate and multi-domain environments. Also, users can create custom views of multiple objects to build global identity profiles for fine-grained authorization, personalization, and other security initiatives.

Additionally, the solution unifies heterogeneous identity data sources into an enterprise directory with guaranteed availability and high performance, as well as ramps up the speed of deployments with powerful new wizards.

“Providing SSO for cloud and federation deployment is a critical initiative and the BYOD (bring your own device) trend is increasingly important. However, the current patchwork of internal identity silos is a roadblock for medium and large enterprises,” said Michel Prompt, CEO of Radiant Logic, in a statement. “Federation-based protocols like SAML, OpenId, and OAuth establish a secure pipeline to the enterprise, but without the ability to logically gather identities into one place and address the complexity of existing internal authentication systems, you can’t achieve SSO. When the enterprise is the ultimate identity provider, going the last mile into identity silos is a major challenge. The truth is that the other side of a federation or cloud application deployment is a federated identity. Virtualization lets you leverage the identity investments you’ve already made, while building the identity hub you need.”
