All BMC Identity Management Suite solutions (e.g., User Administration and Provisioning, Password Management) use the Enterprise SecurityStation capabilities and access its database. Enterprise SecurityStation is a powerful, versatile, database used for storing, manipulating, and retrieving enterprise-level information including detailed descriptions of users, roles, managed systems, accounts, groups, and resources. Enterprise SecurityStation works with data that encompasses more than twenty different security, provisioning, and administration categories called entities. The ESS entities are used for performing identity management tasks such as creating and revoking accounts, managing passwords, and performing audit and compliance verification.
