Inspired by recent thread of posts on other blogs about alternatives to SPML and using local AD for cloud security – I recorded a demo showing how OVD can be used to create an Active Directory firewall. So for example you could use OVD to provide secure remote access [...]
I finally got a chance to read through the book Enterprise Security for the Executive by Jennifer Bayuk.
It’s not a technical book – rather as the title suggests it explains why security is important for the CXO level management and processes for achieving success.
For most [...]
Nishant wrote a nice post summarizing the information we can share on the Oracle+Sun IDM strategy.
But I want to highlight the summary for Directory Services and have a reference post for people to use as comments.
First – Oracle Virtual Directory will be our virtual directory.
Second – We are going to continue to offer both [...]
I got a couple of questions recently around OVD and Master Data Management (OVD).
MDM is an industry standard data solution that provides a single source of truth for customer information. It's particularly useful for large organizations who have customer data in lots of different repositories such as telco or higher education. It's complimentary to a [...]
I realized that there were some lessons to be learned about security and identity management from watching the NFL playoffs this past weekend.
The lesson in particular is that whenever humans are involved they will not always act as you predict. Players who are better on paper (and Madden) will suddenly disappear on the field. The [...]

The release is named 11.1.1.2 and can be downloaded here.
For OID and OIF it's basically a bugfix update for R1. For OVD [...]

Over the past few months, this question seems to keep coming up. So I figured that I’d spend a little time time discussing targets for the two products. Then in the future, I can lay out directions. The important point for everyone to understand is that both Portal and WebCenter have a large set of [...]
I’ll be joined by Alex Petrushko from our partner Identigral to talk about how Oracle Virtual Directory can improve your identity management implementation. Alex will be speaking about how a large telco provider used OVD to reduce time it takes to deploy new applications.
The webcast will be live at: Nov 19, 2009 12:00 p.m. [...]
Between helping get internal people up to speed on 11g, a really bad cold which may or may not have been the flu, and vacation (which was culminated with me getting to see two of my current favorite bands live on the Mayhem tour) – been a bit behind on getting to respond to some [...]
