SOUTHFIELD ? Computer Associates International announced Monday that its eTrust SiteMinder 6.0 has been approved by the U.S. General Services Administration under its E-Gov E-Authentication Initiative, an open standards solution for the federal government.
The announcement means eTrust SiteMinder can now be used by federal agencies taking part in the E-Gov E-Authentication Initiative.
What the federal government wants is simpler access to information for citizens, businesses and government agencies through the re-use of trusted credentials and established identities. Using eTrust SiteMinder, users accessing E-Authentication-enabled applications can be authenticated by one agency and then be recognized and have personalized content delivered by another agency without requiring re-authentication. Agencies using eTrust SiteMinder in conjunction with eTrust IdentityMinder can also easily administer users and their access rights.
CA, which acquired the SiteMinder technology through its recent purchase of Netegrity, will make eTrust SiteMinder the primary Extranet Access Management component of its eTrust Identity and Access Management suite.
