The goal of Identity Management is that every person at ¹ÏÉñÍø has a single digital identity to interact with our technology services. We manage the digital identities of our faculty, staff, students, researchers, affiliates and visitors with the Monarch Identification and Authentication System (MIDAS).
With the MIDAS web application (), individuals at ¹ÏÉñÍø can manage their own passwords and recovery settings, as well as request access to a variety of services beyond the defaults. Authorized users can also use MIDAS to manage departmental associations, permissions for others, and memberships in groups and mailing lists. Behind the scenes, MIDAS cross-references users between systems of record and keeps track of their centrally-managed permissions.
Middleware supports much of the behind-the-scenes processes that ensure that these different services work seamlessly together -- from Single Sign-On, to APIs, and dozens of cloud service integrations. For developers, Middleware offers infrastructure and resources: task runtimes, an identity-aware proxy, repositories for source code and compiled artifacts, and extensive internal documentation.
Core Identity Services
Your identity, password and permissions are managed with MIDAS, the Monarch IDentity and Authorization System. You'll use your MIDAS ID and password to log in to many online services using Monarch-Key Web Login. Additionally, you can use the Monarch Profile Manager to edit the way your profile is displayed throughout ¹ÏÉñÍø systems (like Outlook and the online directory).
The MIDAS system keeps track of who you are and what you can access.
Use your MIDAS ID and password to log in to essential ¹ÏÉñÍø services.
Manage the way your name and title appear in ¹ÏÉñÍø directories.
IDM Workflow
IDM Workflow, powered by Bonita, serves as the primary workflow engine for both MPM and MIDAS systems. This workflow routes requests to appropriate approvers, and keeps records about who approved what.
Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)
The ESB serves as the primary hosting location for ¹ÏÉñÍø-related APIs and processes. The ESB consists of three major components: API Manager, Processing Nodes and Storage Nodes.
Central LDAP
A replicated environment that provides highly available directory services to several locally hosted applications.
Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS)
A specialized single sign-on environment providing authentication services for Office 365 and related Microsoft products.
