Identity Manager uses One SSO Provider (OSP) to support single sign-on access to the identity applications and Identity Reporting. Self Service Password Reset (SSPR) integrates with the applications and OSP to ensure that users who need to modify their passwords get directed to the appropriate web pages without performing any additional actions. After users complete their self-service activities, SSPR redirects users to the application that they original attempted to access.
NetIQ bundles OSP and SSPR in the same installation program for your convenience. You can choose to install both on the same server or install them separately. However, Identity Manager does not require SSPR. You can use an alternative method for resetting user passwords. For more information, see Section 34.7, Configuring Forgotten Password Management.
