    Hi,

    I know that it is a must to have AD when deploying CRM, but the customer in question is not wiling to substitute the existing IBM Tivoli Access Manager with AD.  I thought about creating an AD domain specific for the CRM implementation and sych the user data with the IBM TAM software.  Unfortunately I am not big on IBM and don't know how to do it or if its even possible.

    I would love any feeback you can offer.  I tried to google but couldn't find anything.

    Also, is it possible to make CRM compatible with WebSEAL (another IBM technology used for security I think).

    Thanks in advance!!

    You need an identity replication/management service like ILM/MIIS (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/ilm/default.aspx). Essentially what it does is when a user logs onto one authentication system, it tells the other authentication systems who they are. The upshot is the user still gets single sign-on and all the hard work is done behind the scenes.

    There are rival technologies that do the same thing and the user may already have one in place.

    Hi Eran, you might also want to consider partner hosted CRM and forget about AD altogether.
