Abstract

Data is crucial in today’s word. Each and every company function depends on data. Depending upon the data storage capacity of companies, it is segregated into various categories like multinational, small-scale, and middle-scale companies. As an example, Facebook, Google, Amazon, etc., they have billions of users and their data, which are continuously uploading/downloading from their Web sites. Data is the core part of every company working. To store the data, companies are using different database and directory servers. The databases or directory servers store the data in their won formats and to extract the data from this, and they are using special functions and protocols. Data is mostly used to manage the identity and access of the users into the organization and outside the organization. IAM is a suit which nowadays very popular in the market for securing the user data. IAM system allows the user to access the data depending upon user credentials, which means when the data is accessible by the user. The user has to enter the credentials, and then depending upon credentials, the access is granted to the user. The IAM system proposed in this paper depends upon three things (WHO, WHAT, and HOW) Who’s identity can be created and who can access the data, also the level of data access will be decided and How the user can access the data. In this using the single directory server, we will try to implement a single server system in that both identity and access manager can use the same data storage but having a different suffix. IAM suite will also make sure that users can access the data for which they have the access and need for their business operations.
