RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle

September 2019 Previous month Next month

In the recent  RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle 7.1 release, you can now require a user to specify if a mitigating control is in place for when granting an exception to a Segregation of Duty (SOD) or User Access (UA) policy violation.

During a policy violation review, and when granting an exception, the remediator can specify if there is a mitigating control in place. They can choose if control is:

  • In-Place – there is a control that has been implemented
  • Pending – there is a control defined and is in the process of being implemented
  • None – there are no controls in place or defined at this time

This feature compliments New Feature: Customer Specific Business Justifications that can also be selected when granting a policy exception.   

The configuration for adding mitigating controls for granting exceptional access to policy violations can be found within the rule definition. 

For more information on this feature – please check out this additional content. 

Mitigating Controls for Violation Remediation 

In the recent RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle 7.1 release, the user interface can customized to better brand the product for the customer's environment.  One new key customization available is the background image displayed when user's are on the login screen.  The file must be a JPEG file that is called login-background.jpg.  The file should be uploaded to the Admin→User Interface→Files page under the images section.  When new users login, they will be shown a customized login screen like the following:

Things to consider when customizing this:

  • The image should be a decent resolution so it renders on various client screen resolutions
  • The file size should not exceed 10MB so it doesnt impact the speed to load the screen the first time too much
  • The uploaded image is audited as part of the events found under Admin->System→Audit

 

Included in this blog is a set of background images (see attachments) to try out.  Rename the image to login-background.jpg and upload.  The image will be shown the next time you login to the product.

We are excited to introduce a new virtual deployment option in the recent RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle 7.1  release which makes it easier to deploy our solution in a VMWare virtualization environment!

Provided as an OVA file, all the neccessary componets are supplied to connect your RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle application to an existing database instance.  Using the supplied configuration wizard, which prompts and ensures that all the necessary configurations are set, customers can quickly stand up the RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle application. 

For more information and to view an example installation and setup, please refer to the following video tutorial:
