Oct. 18, 2012 - PRLog -- 2012-10-18 17:36:57 - Optimal IdM, LLC, a Microsoft Gold Certified partner, today announced that its Virtual Identity Server for Office 365™ (VIS for Office 365™) has successfully tested interoperability with Office 365 as part of a structured program for federation.

VIS for Office 365 is a product that enables rapid cloud deployment and extends Office 365 by adding additional features and functionality.

Michael Brengs, Director of Sales for Optimal IdM, states, “We are excited our software has been tested by Microsoft in their labs as a part of a structured program which only reinforces the quality product that we are selling. Additionally, our customers now know that Microsoft supports their use of our software for their Office 365 implementation.”

Vijay Kumar, Senior Technical Product Manager states, “We are pleased that federation between VIS for Office 365 and Microsoft Office 365 has been verified and found to be interoperable so that our customers can take advantage of this solution”.

VIS for Office 365 contains a built-in cloud firewall protecting a customer’s internal AD, allowing administrators to easily decide what data is synchronized to the cloud, rather than all user and groups being synchronized to the cloud. VIS for Office 365 also supports customers with either non-routable domains for a User Principal Name such as JoeUser@Optimal.local or multiple UPN suffixes. It handles this on-the-fly by translating on the outbound synch and as the user authenticates to Office 365, with no data changes required in Active Directory.

Additionally, VIS for Office 365 includes advanced compliance and auditing capabilities. As users authenticate to the cloud, VIS for Office 365 automatically logs who authenticated, when, and with what claims to a SQL database. Administrators can use the out-of-the-box reports or use their favorite reporting tool to mine this data. VIS for Office 365 also provides powerful denial of service (DoS) prevention and detection to an Office 365 deployment, by detecting and preventing an account from being locked. Alerts and emails can even be triggered to notify administrators that there has been an incident.

Jeff Bohren, Senior Software Architect at Optimal IdM, adds, “Whether you have multiple Active Directory (AD) Forests or use a directory such as Novell’s e-Directory, VIS for Office 365 can quickly and easily take your users to the cloud wherever they reside. Multi-forest deployments can be long, complicated deployments requiring a resource forest. We eliminate this complexity by synchronizing users and groups right from the source data stores and likewise federating directly to them.”
