ActivIdentity and Novell have a strong and long-standing strategic partnership. Since 2001, Novell has offered the ActivIdentity SecureLogin SSO single sign on technology to complement its suite of leading identity management offerings. Novell SecureLogin is currently deployed to over 2,000 enterprises and government organizations worldwide. This partnership has since been broadened with the recently announced Identity Assurance Solution, by Novell, and the ActivIdentity Solutions for Novell suite. ActivIdentity Solutions for Novell are a complete suite of identity assurance and strong authentication solutions for Novell customers.

"Combining ActivID Card Management System (CMS) from ActivIdentity with Novell Identity Management and Provisioning delivers tremendous benefits to customers, said ActivIdentity Senior Vice President Ed MacBeth, including secure access to IT resources and facilities as well as enabling a full range of electronic business processes, which is key to reaping the ROI from any IDM implementation."

"ActivIdentity Solutions for Novell in conjunction with Identity Assurance Solution by Novell eliminates the need for enterprises to engage in separate processes for each security requirement," said Nick Nikols, vice president of product management for Identity and Security for Novell. "The solution reduces cost, eliminates administrative efforts and decreases potential security risks, while providing a truly comprehensive digital identity assurance infrastructure."

Novell BrainShare 2007 attendees visiting the ActivIdentity Booth (booth #425) will also have the opportunity for a sneak peak of the upcoming Novell SecureLogin for SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop solution as well as Novell SecureLogin on Microsoft Vista. Other demonstrations will include: smart card and one-time password token logins to Novell SecureLogin SSO as well as an overview of the ActivID Card Management System integration with Novell Identity Manager.
