IBM has recently released the Redbook, “Identity Management Design Guide with IBM Tivoli Identity Manager ”.  This IBM Redbook provides a methodology for designing an Identity Management solution with IBM Tivoli Identity Manager 4.6. Starting from the high-level, organizational viewpoint we show how to define user registration and maintenance processes using the self-registration and self-care interfaces as well as the delegated administration capabilities.

Identity management encompasses all the data and processes related to the representation of an individual involved in electronic transactions.
