ILM 2 RC0

April 29, 2009

The Password Reset instructions ask us to use Group Policy to distribute the cert to the clients. This only works in Windows Server 2008 functional level domains. In Windows Server 2003 domains you can automate this using cerutil.exe The following command will export the cert generated by ILM 2 install to the ilm2cert.cer file in the working directory certutil -store trustedpeople IdentityLifeCycleManager2 ilm2cert.cer This command can be used to import the cert from the command line

Problems with Sync Rules in ILM 2 RC0 (err FIM RC0)?

April 20, 2009

If you will take a look at FIM(ILM) connections sc… Unknown - Apr 2, 2009If you will take a look at FIM(ILM) connections schema you will see that ILM MA has a direct SQL connectivity to FIM database (not through web service).

Problems with Sync Rules in ILM 2 RC0 (err FIM RC0)?

April 20, 2009

Well I had a problem with a recent install – the Metaverse Object Type Dropdown list was empty! Turns out the source of this drop down list is the mv-data object type.

What's in name? Forefront Identity Manager 2010

April 16, 2009

In case you haven’t heard Zoomit VIA or rather Microsoft MetaDirectory Services has been renamed yet again, from Microsoft Identity Integration Server 2003 to Identity Lifecycle Manager 2007 to Forefront Identity Manager 2010 or FIM for short. For obvious reasons the L was dropped when the F was added (Forefront + ILM = FILM). So ILM 2 => FIM 2010 (stole this graphic from Brad Turner’s blog – his Smart Art creations are beautiful – recently I have been studying smart art under his tutelage I hope to soon approach his level of skill)
