Before solution implemented it took around 2-3 weeks to get all the necessary account information for a new employee in my organization. Since implementation, this now only takes a few minutes. As soon as HR submit all their data the user account is generated and the user gets their username and password. Also, we have many applications and before SSO the users had to remember all the different passwords. We have many legacy applications and they had different password policies that were not always as strong as they should be. Now, however, we have one password for all the applications, and one password policy.

* Several SSO methods are supported out of box. * Federation based SSO (SAML / Oauth / OpenID etc) setup is easy. * Very good performance and scalability. * The internal STS token service can be used for custom SSO tokens. * It is highly scalable and can meet high loads and performances. * Reverse proxy sits in front of the application and applications need only minimal changes to support SSO with ISAM.

Due to a constraint of the built-in browser in a Handy phone (called NTT i-Mode), the former version of TAM could not be used in the Japan market. The issue was resolved by the decline of Japan-specific Handy phones. Cookies were not supported in i-Mode browser ver.1, which had the highest market share in Japan. Hence, sessions between that browser and WebSEAL could not maintain the session state using a cookie. The constraint had widespread implications. Some examples: re-authentication, session affinity, cookie-based failover mechanisms. Besides, IBM Japan declared that all browsers built in Handy phones were not supported officially in that version. Rather than a weakness of the WebSEAL specification, that constraint was caused by the insufficient i-Mode browser specification, which was developed by NTT Docomo. Considering the negatives, we could not use WebSEAL for Handy-phone facing applications. (A workaround might exist, but the industry-standardized manner of using cookies was in our favor.)
