Abstract

LDAPCon 2015 is the event chosen for the official announcement of the Universal SSPR, an Open source initiative that opens a new edge for Self Service Password Reset.

Universal word fits to our Swiss army knife approach because this modular solution is design to address:

• best end user experience
• any user device (corporate, BYOD, anything else)
• new security threats
• high availability
• on premise, hybrid, pure cloud based infrastructure
• well known technologies reuse and new technology adoption
• various identity verification mode
• standalone mode, coexistence or integration with IAM solution
• individual target or set of password repositories
• unlimited targets
  • LDAP of course
  • Active Directory
  • commercial software
  • SaaS
  • and any bespoke application
