SEAS Validating ISAM Token

Currently SEAS has the ability to integrate with IBM product ISAM ( IBM security access manager ) and authenticate the userid and password provided by SSP. In this case SEAS generates SSO Token after successful authentication. Customer requirement...

Develop SEAS to intelligently query for IPs that come from a subnet and allow them in if that subnet is in an LDAP attribute

Why useful? Useful because these days a lot of trading partners are coming from cloud environments that aren't front-ended by one (or a handful) IP address. Who benefits? Anyone who desires to whitelist IPs as a means of authentication or just as ...

Oracle Enterprise Linux (OEL) Support

Email alerts for SEAS errors

Currently errors within SEAS cannot be detected without logging into the server and manually checking the SEAS logs. LDAP related failures (for example loss of connectivity to LDAP or expired password for the login we bind to LDAP with) are an exa...
