Datacom Cloud Identity Integrator

Datacom's Cloud Identity Integrator is a cloud offering that provides a streamlined RealMe integration service for client applications. The product is supported and adaptable and aims to reduce costs and avoid the need to develop technical knowledge of RealMe integration specifics.

Without Cloud Identity Integrator to utilise RealMe, clients require a number of components to integrate their applications. Cloud Identity Integrator simplifies this integration by a pre-configured cloud based product. Datacom manages the integration process for the client. This greatly reduces the time and effort required by clients to integrate with RealMe.

The key benefits of Cloud Identity Integrator are:

• Pre-configured for SAML 2.0 integration with the RealMe assertion service
• A simplified messaging interface to invoke Cloud Identity Integrator's automated interaction with RealMe on the application's behalf
• An adapter architecture to tailor integration of the product into a customer's identity management environment
• Local support with Service Level Agreements (SLA) and professional services
• No infrastructure required on your premises
• Affordability

Cloud Identity Integrator includes support for the igovt Identity Verification Service.

Cloud Identity Integrator includes the following technical features:

• Exposes a simple interface for applications which abstracts away the complexities of the SAML 2.0 protocol and the requirement for application developers to understand this protocol. Provides a simplified application integration interface.
• Applications interact with Cloud Identity Integrator via browser redirects. Messages received from Cloud Identity Integrator are easily decrypted using a library, of which Linux, .NET and Java implementations are provided
• Completely use case driven from an application's perspective. This allows applications to interact with the RealMe assertion service from a single use case request
• 'Extension points' (adaptors) can be used to tailor integration of Cloud Identity Integrator into an existing identity management environment

RealMe represents the consolidation of the RealMe login service and the new RealMe assertion service. Together these services provide authentication and verification services for both the public and private sectors. The verification service:

• Provides customers the ability to present identity information about themselves online to client organisations;
• Acts as an intermediary between the holders of the verified data and the integrated client organisations;
• Aggregates customers verified data in real-time and passes it securely to the requesting client organisation;
• Captures customer consent and transaction audit records;

RealMe relies on explicit consent from customers before sharing information, and provides the means for customers to see where, when and to whom they have provided information online.
