Streamlined Custom Application Integration with OpenIAM
Fast, secure custom application integration—built to scale with your business.
Custom-built applications often lack consistent identity management, making user provisioning, access control, and compliance auditing complex and time-consuming. OpenIAM’s solution for custom applications bridges that gap — providing a unified framework for authentication, authorization, and governance across in-house systems.
By integrating directly with your custom app stack, OpenIAM enables centralized identity lifecycle management, policy-based access control, and complete audit visibility — helping you scale securely and reduce administrative overhead.
Advanced Identity Management with Custom Application Integration
Many enterprises rely on both commercial and custom-built applications with proprietary database schemas. Without standardized APIs, managing access is slow, error-prone, and risky.
OpenIAM’s JDBC-based Custom Application Integration automates provisioning and deprovisioning for any relational database—securely and without costly custom development.
Challenges Customers Face in Custom Application Integration
Organizations with custom or legacy applications often encounter:
- Custom Schemas Without Standard Interfaces – Homegrown apps often lack SCIM or LDAP support, making integration complex.
- Manual and Error-Prone Account Management – IT teams spend hours creating, updating, and removing accounts by hand.
- Delayed Deprovisioning and Security Risks – Orphaned accounts remain active after employees leave, creating compliance gaps.
- Compliance and Audit Difficulties – Proving SOX, HIPAA, or GDPR compliance is harder without centralized identity control.
- Scaling Across Multiple Systems – Growth means more custom apps, which quickly overwhelms manual processes.
