5 reasons to be thankful for Identity Management

On the eve of Thanksgiving I offer 5 reasons to be thankful for Identity Management (user provisioning, deprovisioning, group and role management, etc.):

  1. What other compliance project can actually have a positive ROI?
    1. You get improved compliance (and the ability to show it)
    2. You also get better security as accounts are disabled quickly
    3. Then you save money through the automation
  2. Identity Management can help support your corporate goals
  3. You can empower users to serve themselves with password resets, group/role requests
  4. It can help keep your organization out of the shame columns in the trade rags
    1. We have all read about the disgruntled former employee accessing data.
  5. The joy of automation, the joy of not having to do double data entry!

5 things in Identity Management in 2012 for which I am thankful

New version PCNS, new FIM hotfix

On Aug 24th Microsoft released a new version of PCNS. Version number 4.1.2515.0.

No release notes are provided with the download. However, this version number matches the version number of the latest FIM R2 hotfix rollup http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2734159 and it does tell us what is fixed:

Assume that you run Password Change Notification Service (PCNS) setup together with the SCHEMAUPDATE=TRUE option and the schema is updated successfully. In this situation, an error message is displayed at the end of the setup process incorrectly.
After this update is installed, the Setup program does not display the error message when the schema update is successful.

How to import the Domain attribute into the FIM Portal Part 2

In Part 1 of How to import the Domain attribute into the FIM Portal I provided you the simple technique for the single domain forest, and the technique that works although is a bit unwieldy – that of looking at the first 41 characters of the object’s SID and using a lookup table through nested IIF statements and this doesn’t .

What if there was a simpler way?

What about using the Domain Component option in the attribute flow?

How to import the Domain attribute into the FIM Portal Part 1

If you have a single domain forest then you should use a constant flow in your sync rule or advanced attribute flow. If you have a multi-domain forest, then using a constant in the advanced attribute flow won’t work.

You could create multiple inbound sync rules one for each domain with scoping filters and then use a constant. However, this seems like a waste.

You could also follow the guidance provided in article originated by my friend Markus Vilcinskas and maintained by the community http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/648.how-do-i-synchronize-users-from-active-directory-domain-services-to-fim.aspx
