Infrastructure Specialist at a financial services firm with 5,001-10,000 employees

There were scalability issues with 8.0.1. Whilst we could build a new VM with the underlying OS and prerequisites, IBM was always required to assist on-site as only they knew the complicated and fairly undocumented procedure to implement a new IMS server to the pool. In 8.2.1, this has been amplified tenfold as the solution moved from Apache on Windows to IBM WebSphere on Windows, which is incredibly complicated and requires multiple levels of specialist knowledge. This makes it nearly impossible for our company to expand the number of nodes in the WebSphere cluster without accidentally introducing new issues in the said cluster.

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.

The SSO, URL-based access control, OAuth 2 and OIDC are the most valuable features. The URL-based access control has become more important due to the paradigm shift towards RESTful APIs, i.e., where URLs uniquely represent the resources to be protected. IBM TAM has a rich authorization model which simulates the system/environment to be protected by its protected object space. This makes it easy to visualize the hierarchical model of the end system and to attach ACLs/policies and customized rules, to the objects to be protected. OAuth 2 is now the de facto standard for API protection and scoped authorized delegation. IBM TAM now supports OAuth 2 and can act as fully compliant OAuth 2 authorization server. OIDC is fast becoming equally or more popular than SAML and is certainly the modern developers choice for SSO, i.e., for both the cloud/on-prem apps. The newer version of the IBM TAM supports OIDC, which can act as the OIDC provider.
