This section describes new features of Oracle Adaptive Access Manager 10g (10.1.4.5).
These are the features introduced in the current release:
Auto-learning
Auto-learning is a profiling process in which Adaptive Risk Manager identifies behavior patterns (buckets) based on the parameters the administrator specifies. Adaptive Risk Manager then automatically records/maintains the bucket memberships of the users/devices/locations (entities in general) over time so that the data that is gathered can be used as a way to evaluate risk. For more information, see Chapter 8, "Auto-learning and Patterns".
Rule Template Editor
The rule template editor allows the user to create and edit rule templates without having to go to the XML and write them. For more information, see Chapter 4, "Rule Templates and Conditions".
Configurable Actions
Configurable Actions allow a user to create new supplementary actions that occur after the running of rules. For more information, see Chapter 5, "Configurable Actions".
Transaction Definitions
Oracle Adaptive Access Manager provides a framework to support any kind of transaction by mapping client-specific data into the generic data model that supports the framework. For more information, see Chapter 7, "Transaction Definitions".
Device registration
Device registration is a feature that allows a user to flag the device (computer, mobile, PDA, and others) he is using as a safe device. The customer can then configure the rules to challenge a user that is not coming from one of his registered devices. Device registration is available as a standard feature in Oracle Adaptive Access Manager. The feature can be turned on, although it is turned off by default in the product. For more information, see Chapter 10, "Cases".
Enumeration Editor
An enumeration contains named constants to represent different possible values. In Oracle Adaptive Access Manager, these enumerations (enums) are defined so they are easily configurable by the administrators; no code change is necessary.
Using the enumeration editor, existing enumerations and their elements and properties can be edited in Adaptive Risk Manager. New enumerations can also be created to customize Adaptive Risk Manager.
For more information, see Chapter 6, "Creating Runtimes".
Investigation tools
Investigation management offers tools needed by fraud investigators (agents) to conduct investigation process. A new case type, agent cases enable fraud investigation agents to obtain information and track the progress of the investigation (case lifecycle). Linked sessions and related sessions and cases provide investigators a way to quickly narrow in on the important data they need to resolve a case. For more information, see Chapter 10, "Cases".
Customizable reporting using BI Publisher
Starting with the 10.1.4.5 release, export and scheduling of reports are available via Oracle BI Publisher. Oracle BI Publisher provides a much richer functionality – support for more export file formats and schedule options. This guide contains details of Oracle Adaptive Access Manager reports in Oracle BI Publisher.
Reports are editable through the BI Publisher. Column labels and contents can be editable. Also, aggregates and graphing can be added to reports. For more information, see Chapter 12, "Reporting"
Globalization Support
Oracle Adaptive Access Manager 10.1.4.5 has been translated into 26 languages for Adaptive Strong Authenticator and 9 for Adaptive Risk Manager. These translations are bundled along with the English version of the product. For additional information, see "Globalization Support" in the Oracle Adaptive Access Manager Installation and Configuration Guide.
Conditions
Rule conditions are the building blocks for constructing rule templates. Oracle Adaptive Access Manager includes a library of preconfigured conditions. For more information, see Chapter 4, "Rule Templates and Conditions"
Dashboard
Adaptive Risk Manager includes a dashboard that provides performance and summary statistics and reports on locations, scoring, devices, security, and performance. For more information, see Chapter 11, "Using the Dashboard"
