Adventures in identity management
Anyone who’s spent any time configuring RCDCs knows it’s a time consuming and often frustrating process. I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s sat there progressively uncommenting blocks of XML, trying to track down that one little error that’s screwed up the whole form. Certainly I don’t want my customer to have to go…
Once again I’ll be off to TEC US this year, though this time travelling from Australia, and this time in the company of my collegue Bob Bradley. I’m presenting a session on MIIS/ILM migration to FIM. Not the sexiest topic I admit, but certainly one with the potential to be far knottier than you may…
Today I’m please to announce a new initiative by the FIM Team: the FIM Team Mentor Program. Learning FIM is hard, and working out how best to apply it to the requirements and constraints of your environment is even harder. But maybe you don’t want, or don’t have the budget, to get consultants to come in…
I don’t know how many times I’ve used the RCDC documentation, but somehow never noticed the bit on Environment Variables. Today however I was looking for a way to restrict the scope of a UocListView or UocIdentityPicker based on properties of the user being edited – and it turns out that you can reference any…
Something that has come up from time to time on the FIM forum is the need to trigger an AuthZ workflow based on some change made by an Action workflow (or by the Sync Service). This is not possible in the FIM Service today and I don’t see any evidence that it will be possible in the…
I have just installed the reporting for FIM R2 RCÂ and generated my first reports. Though when I say “just” read that as “spent two days on it and reinstalled twice”. However it is now working (yay! Was it worth it? Not sure yet!) and here’s my write-up. You should also refer to the following documents…
I needed to set up a test AD with realistic looking test users. This script by Alex Tcherniakhovski was the type of thing I wanted as it starts with lists of OUs, first names and last names and then creates accounts across all OUs listed, and using a random selection of names. However Alex’s script…
I’ve received word that I have been awarded the MVP for 2012. I never take this for granted and it always makes me very happy to receive this acknowledgement, so thank you Microsoft and the FIM PG!
Just getting started with FIM R2 RC here at the moment – and the first thing I’m excited about is outbound Sync Rule scopes!
I’ve just been installing FIM R2 RC into my lab. Unfortunately I couldn’t get the portal to upgrade from R2 beta to R2 RC (and to be fair the doco doesn’t say you should be able to) so had the bright idea of using the migration scripts to do a config comparison between my beta…
