Abstract
A system, method and apparatus for managing access across a plurality of applications is disclosed. The system may include a user store connector configured to connect to one or more user stores to retrieve attributes; an authentication connector configured to communicate with at least one authentication subsystem to authenticate a user; a policy engine configured to retrieve attributes from the user store connector corresponding to a user and use the attributes to evaluate access policies, if any, which are defined for protection of resources, to determine whether or not the user should be granted access to the resources; an admin component that is configured to enable the access policies to be defined relative to attributes and the resources; and a policy store configured to store the access policies.
