Novell Identity Provisioning for Employees
Novell Identity Provisioning for Employees is perhaps the most flexible of the systems we reviewed, but the solution requires the use of XSLT (Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations) and would have taken too long to implement. Because it would be necessary to write the transformations by hand, the training time would be greater with the Novell solution than the other products.
As our remote sites are retail stores with a high level of turnover, we liked having the flexibility to fully manage remote sites as independent entities with only minimal attribute flow between each site and headquarters.
Novell's distributed architecture and granularity of control would have served our scenario well in this respect. Not only does the product allow for distributed LDAP trees, but each tree can be managed individually while the solution manages only the configured pieces of the system. This architecture beats Business Layers' and Access360's centralized storage models.
