Adventures in identity management
Here’s something else I’ve been developing, which I think has interesting potential. Essentially it’s an XMA which is used to provision powershell “command” objects.Ă‚Â These objects contain the name of the cmdlet and the list of arguments, and the Export step isĂ‚Â actually running the command.
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 ILMĂ‚Â (or the FIM Sync Service) can be used to clean up the mess of existing accounts, before you can actually get Ă‚Â on to the more interesting tasks of provisioning and updating. With the way FIM codeless sync works,…
I will be speaking at the LANexpert expertDay conference in Lausanne on the 15th of June. I will be talking about howĂ‚Â various products in the Identity spectrum fit together, focusing in particular on how the move to Cloud applicationsĂ‚Â makesĂ‚Â localĂ‚Â management of users and groupsĂ‚Â even more critical. I have a neat little demo where I create a…
Here is a script I wrote to do a simple GAL synchronization between two Exchange organizations. The script finds the mail-enabled users in one domain, and creates contacts for them in the other domain. Existing contacts will also be updated and deleted as needed.
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.
I visited all the sposors at TEC and I particularly wanted to post about two of them as their products fit into the user provisioning and lifecycle sphere. This post is based on short demos and discussions with the company reps, so I can’t claim any knowledge about how well they would scale, or run…
I’ve had a few people ask if I’m renaming my blog, and was canvassing FIMFatale at TEC to general approval – however I’ve decided to stick with miss miis. Conrad Bayer told us in his keynote that FIM (or was it just FIM sync?) has been moved to the AD group – so I imagine…
At TEC you really can learn from the best. Some of the speakers may not be the most polished, but at least you know they’re talking from a position of genuine experience. My top three sessions this year were the ones where I felt I learnt the most.
I’ve been writing an XMA that uses powershell to communicate with MSOnline. Because of various connectivity issues I have to run the powershell commands on a server other than the FIM server – that is, I have to use remote powershell. There will be more detail on this XMA in a future post, however today…
