European Identity Conference 2018 - Wednesday

May 17, 2018

Jet lag and other issues caught up with me the next day (Tuesday) and I didn’t attend any sessions :( One thing I love is that most presentations including keynotes are only 20 min long so even when we get a terrible one – we know it will be over soon. But most of the sessions were good and some were great! My first Wednesday session was listening to Sebastian Goodrick of SUVA and Dr.

May 17, 2018

Also a lot of faces familiar to those who have attended Cloud Identity Summits: Andrew Hindle, Colin Wallis, Steve Hutchinson, Eve Maler, and Ian Glazer and fellow Microsoft MVP: Naohiro Fujie.

MIM Join and spaces

May 5, 2018

Working on a customer’s lab and look what I found. They had created (through some other process) two user accounts for the same user, and the samAccountName was nearly identical, just a space, ascii 32, appended to the end of one of the samAccountNames differentiates the two. Apparently, AD allows this. The account with the space was projected into the Metaverse, and then later in the sync the account without the space attempted to join, and it matched.

Identiverse, Cloud Identity Summit

March 29, 2018

Last summer I attended and spoke at the Cloud Identity Summit in Chicago. First big news: it was renamed to Identiverse and 2018 will be in Boston. As a consultant I have limited time to attend conferences and speak. So conferences have to be great. I do love this one, but in the interest of time, I will be skipping it this year in favor of speaking at the European Identity Conference in May 2018 in Munich, Germany.

To Farm or not to Farm Part 2

March 29, 2018

In the original To Farm or Not to Farm post I discussed the pros and cons of setting up FIM on a SharePoint farm or using Stand Alone. Well we now have SharePoint 2016 and it isn’t possible to install Stand Alone, although you can do a single server farm. Also, absolutely everything is virtualized and so we tend to share lots and lots of processing so we can’t really think of a server as having spare cycles, because we share those processors with lots of other VM’s.
