Web Access Management (WAM) is a system for controlling user access to online resources by combining authentication and access control. Developed in the 1990s, web access management software was designed to secure web-based applications by verifying user credentials and enforcing policy-based authorization. Key features include Single Sign-On (SSO) for seamless access across domains, allowing enterprises to manage permissions and protect resources effectively. However, as enterprise needs evolve, traditional web access management tools are limited in handling diverse user identities and adapting to cloud-based authentication standards.
Users enter credentials (username and password) to access web applications. Additional security layers, like one-time passwords or digital certificates, can enhance protection.
Once authenticated, WAM software applies authorization policies, assigning permissions that control user access to specific resources and data.
Most WAM systems operate on-premises, using agents connected to web services and central servers. These servers validate access requests, while some setups also use proxy servers for added control.
