Oracle Identity Manager (OIM) enables enterprises to manage the entire user life cycle across all enterprise resources both within and beyond a firewall. An Oracle identity management solution provides a mechanism for implementing the user management aspects of a corporate policy. It can also be a means to audit users and their access privileges.
