Starting with version 20.01.0.0, the VMware Workspace ONE® Access™ service (formerly known as VMware Identity Manager™) is available on-premises solely on Linux. When the on-premises installation is finished, you can use the administration console to entitle users to managed multi-device access to your organization's applications, including Web applications, VMware Horizon® applications and desktops, and Citrix-published resources.
Workspace ONE Access as Part of the Workspace ONE Platform
- Workspace ONE Access delivers risk-based conditional access and single sign-on for Workspace ONE. Workspace ONE Access uses the user’s identity combined with other factors, including information about their device and network, to make intelligence-driven conditional access decisions.
- Workspace ONE UEM services provide device enrollment, application distribution, and compliance-checking tools to ensure that remote access devices meet corporate security standards. Users from Workspace ONE UEM enrolled devices can log in to their enabled applications securely without entering multiple passwords.
Workspace ONE Access and Other Technologies
You must integrate the Workspace ONE Access service with several other technologies, including the Workspace ONE Access connector, which starting with version 19.03, is available solely on Windows. You must integrate the service with other VMware technologies, such as vCenter™, ESX™, and vSphere®. Knowledge of many other technologies is required, such as of Active Directory, databases, backup and restore procedures, Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), and NTP servers. Knowledge of other technologies, such as VMware Horizon and RSA SecurID, is helpful if you plan to implement those features.
