Banca Carige met that need with Microsoft Identity Lifecycle Manager 2007, which the bank is using to deploy and manage the smart cards for its 6,600 employees. Banca Carige was able to easily begin realizing the security benefits provided by smart cards, including the ability to store and manage both internal and third-party digital certificates on a single card.

Through the Dell Early Adopter Program for Microsoft Windows Server 2008, IDG implemented Dell PowerEdge 1955 servers running Microsoft Active Directory to support centralized software inventory and distribution capabilities. Dell Early Adopter Program helped IDG IT staff complete the project in half the time it would have taken IDG on its own.

whitepaper MKB Bank Centralized Database Accounts in AD and Eliminated Helpdesk Calls on DB Passwords2008-08-01 Oracle
  MKB Bank wanted to avoid providing new username and passwords to their data warehouse users as well as deploying new provisioning connectors for their existing provisioning system from BMC. MKB refers to their provisioning system as Enterprise User Administration (EUA). The solution was to deploy Oracle Database Enterprise User Security with Oracle Virtual Directory. This allowed end-users to use their existing Windows credentials to access the database while allowing MKB Bank to automate provisioning via their existing EUA connector to Active Directory.

whitepaper AmTrust Reduced Database and Linux Helpdesk Calls by 80% With Centralized User Management2008-08-01 Oracle
  AmTrust Bank was founded in 1889, and is one of the fastest growing financial institutions in America. As more applications and databases were deployed and more users were provisioned to support growing business, challenge of managing users consistently across applications, databases, and operating systems was ever increasing. Managing users in individual systems resulted in poor user experience due to multiple passwords, high administration cost due to redundant administration, and poor compliance due to inconsistent security policies and ineffective provisioning process. To address these challenges, AmTrust Bank implemented Oracle Internet Directory (OID) centralizing database user management as well as Linux/Unix authentication.

whitepaper TechNet Webcast: How Microsoft Does IT: Structured Active Directory Schema Management at Microsoft (Level 300)2008-07-15 Microsoft
  This webcast shows how Microsoft IT maintains a smooth and structured process for implementing Active Directory schema changes. Part of the reason for this normalcy is that a significant effort is made towards separating the business aspects of a schema change from the IT processes involved in the change. To minimize risks to users and applications, before a schema change is administered, it is assured that all parties such as business partners, application compatibility teams, and technical reviewers have analyzed the change and potential effects on users and applications.

whitepaper Understanding the Directory2008-07-02 Cisco Systems
  Directories comprise specialized databases that are optimized for a high number of reads and searches and occasional writes and updates. Directories typically store data that does not change often, such as employee information, user privileges on the corporate network, and so on. This paper covers the main principles for synchronizing Cisco Unified Communications Manager with a corporate LDAP directory. The paper also discusses the administrator choice not to synchronize with a corporate LDAP directory and the consequences of that choice of configuration. The paper also summarizes considerations for providing Cisco Unified Communications endpoints, such as Cisco Unified IP Phones and Cisco IP Softphone, with access to a corporate LDAP directory.

whitepaper Scalable Centralized Authentication Services Using Red Hat Directory Server2008-06-26 Red Hat
  The Red Hat Directory Server provides a scalable method for Centralized Authorization and Authentication services to a large enterprise. The netgroup feature provided by the Directory Server provides a way to group users and systems into different groups. By configuring pam to use these groups, it can implement user access control enterprise wide with minimal changes to the systems. Since the user, system, and group information are stored centrally at the Directory Server, the information is secure and updates are instantaneous and enterprise wide. By eliminating system and user specific information (except the network configuration) on the systems, system deployment is simplified by creating standard images. Further, addition, deletion and role change of users or systems is greatly simplified.
