The Internet has changed. It's no longer just about Web and email traffic. Instead it's dominated by Web 2.0 applications such as IM, P2P, social networking, voice, and video. Today, these applications are pervasive in the enterprise, brought in by a new generation of employees. Recognizing the benefits of these technologies, businesses are deploying enterprise-grade unified communications platforms such as Microsoft Office Communications Server and IBM Lotus Sametime that offer the full suite of UC capabilities including IM, web conferencing, video, and Voice over IP. The combination of evasive consumer applications and enterprise-class UC platforms is leading to an increasingly heterogeneous and complex environment that multiplies the security, management and compliance challenges faced by IT today - issues such as inbound malware, information leakage, regulatory and eDiscovery compliance, and the need for a common policy and reporting framework to simplify administration. Actiance helps businesses realize the benefits of Unified Communications by delivering security, management and compliance across the broadest set of platforms and modalities, ensuring integration with your existing enterprise infrastructure including active directory, databases, archiving systems and more.
Security Assertion Markup Language 2.0 (SAML 2.0) is a version of the SAML standard for exchanging authentication and authorization data between security domains. SAML 2.0 is an XML-based protocol that uses security tokens containing assertions to pass information about a principal (usually an end user) between a SAML authority, named an Identity Provider, and a SAML consumer, named a Service Provider. SAML 2.0 enables web-based authentication and authorization scenarios including cross-domain single sign-on (SSO), which helps reduce the administrative overhead of distributing multiple authentication tokens to the user. By using SAML 2.0, organizations can be more competitive in their market, by moving faster than competitors. Organizations who leverage SAML 2.0 can be less prone to be hacked, to experience a security breach, or experience or a data breach, by leveraging SAML 2.0.

Active Directory (AD) is a directory service that Microsoft developed for Windows domain networks. It is included in most Windows Server operating systems as a set of processes and services. Initially, Active Directory was only in charge of centralized domain management. Starting with Windows Server 2008, however, Active Directory became an umbrella title for a broad range of directory-based identity-related services. A server running Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) is called a domain controller. It authenticates and authorizes all users and computers in a Windows domain type networkÛÓassigning and enforcing security policies for all computers and installing or updating software. For example, when a user logs into a computer that is part of a Windows domain, Active Directory checks the submitted password and determines whether the user is a system administrator or normal user. Also, it allows management and storage of information, provides authentication and authorization mechanisms, and establishes a framework to deploy other related services: Certificate Services, Federated Services, Lightweight Directory Services and Rights Management Services. Active Directory uses Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) versions 2 and 3, Microsoft's version of Kerberos, and DNS.
