The VIS/SharePoint integration provides organizations with an easy way to rapidly deploy SharePoint to users that reside in multiple Active Directory (AD) forests without the need for complicated trust, or complicated configurations. VIS’s powerful coupling with SharePoint is not only rapid and easy but also allows business to maintain full Microsoft Office integration.
SharePoint utilizes AD groups to manage authorization and permissions within SharePoint. Utilizing one of the advanced features of VIS, Virtual Dynamic Groups, businesses have a more flexible and powerful way to manage content permissions. Leveraging the virtual groups within VIS, SharePoint specific groups no longer need to reside in the AD forests. Instead, these groups can be centralized;
Larry Aucoin, managing partner of Optimal IdM, adds, “The VIS/SharePoint integration allows organizations to handle common deployment scenarios such as: deploying across multiple internal AD forests; deploying an external DMZ based SharePoint server to both external and internal users; as well as integrating an external DMZ SharePoint server with an internal SharePoint server where documents are synchronized between the two deployments.”
VIS also extends the SharePoint deployment by providing comprehensive auditing and reporting capabilities. VIS tracks and logs all LDAP activity to a SQL Server database providing valuable auditing information that can be easily reported on using Optimal IdM Reports™ which is a web based reporting and compliance solution that is bundled with VIS. Optimal IdM Reports allows reports to be run interactively using a .NET web application, or to be scheduled for email distribution in popular formats such as PDF, Word and Excel.
By combining the powerful capabilities of Microsoft’s SharePoint with Optimal IdM’s Virtual Identity Server, organizations have a complete solution for rapidly deploying SharePoint across multiple forests in a flexible, robust and maintainable fashion.
