Adventures in identity management
I promised to write up my Remote Powershell XMA. This one will run a powershell script on another server. The powershell script generates a text file of data which you then use to import your connector space. If you need to add any PSSnapins you do that as part of the script. I’m only showing…
I’ve just posted a new Greatest Hits article on the ILM forum on the subject of how ILM (or the FIM Sync Service) can be used to clean up the mess of existing accounts, before you can actually get  on to the more interesting tasks of provisioning and updating. With the way FIM codeless sync works,…
In this post I will show how to attach an HR data source to the FIM Sync Service, and then import data about employees into the FIM Portal. This post assumes you already have FIM installed, and have created the FIM Management Agent.
Note: this post was written for the RTM version of FIM 2010. After installing FIM, you will need to start configuring the Sync Service so that you can start to get data into and out of the Portal This post shows you how to configure the FIM Management Agent.
Note: this post applies to the RTM version of FIM 2010. I’m starting a new series of posts today showing how to build an identity management environment with FIM 2010. A lot of the concepts are covered in the Getting Started documentation, which you should of course read, however I think it’s often useful to…
There’s a lot of interest in FIM, and that’s great – but I worry about all the focus on the codeless sync rules, which I’m not a fan of. Meanwhile behind it we have the best, most efficient and most flexible sync engine out there, now in 64-bits, and ready to do all sorts of…
I’ve been having a bit of a play with the powershell interface to the FIM Portal. I wanted to pre-populate a demo environment with an interesting set of criteria-based Securoity and Distribution groups, but they get a bit tedious to create by hand, and I wanted to see if powershell was the answer. I’m pretty…
Following on from my last post about the overlaps between FIM and Exchange 2010 I wanted to clarify for myself the group management capabilities in FIM, Exchange 2010 and ILM. Warning: I will have to revisit this post – as I haven’t yet installed Exchange 2010 in a production environment the Exchange comments are based…
I’ve been getting myself up to speed on the new feaures of Exchange 2010, and some of them look a little familiar…
Next in my “Five things about FIM” posts – five things I have learnt about Management Policy Rules.
