    Overview

    Evidian Web Access Manager offers a coherent infrastructure that secures your Web applications. Evidian Web Access Manager makes your organization's security policy more consistent, reduces management costs and accelerates your e-business activities.

    F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM) is an access management proxy solution for managing global access to the enterprise networks, cloud providers, applications, and application programming interfaces (APIs). Through a single management interface, BIG-IP APM consolidates remote, mobile, network, virtual, and web access. 

    BIG-IP APM can also serve as a bridge between modern and classic authentication and authorization protocols and methods. For applications which are unable to support modern authentication and authorization protocols, like SAML and OAuth with OIDC, but which do support classic authentication methods, BIG-IP APM converts user credentials to the appropriate authentication standard supported by the application.

    • Ability to integrate with other systems
    • Security features

    • SAML 2.0 identity federation support
