Implementing Forefront Identity Manager 2010
The Implementing Forefront Identity Manager 2010 training course is available at our Cardiff training centre in Wales, which is also within easy reach of Newport, Bristol and South Wales
Overview
This four-day instructor-led course introduces and explains the features and capabilities for Microsoft Forefront Identity Manager 2010 (FIM), and provides an overview of the solution scenarios that FIM addresses. The course format includes presentation, discussion, demonstration, and many hands-on exercises. It is intended for students who have no previous Forefront Identity Manager 2010 or Microsoft Identity Lifecycle Manager 2007 (ILM) experience.
Prerequisites
Before attending this course, students must have:
- A sound understanding of the purpose and some experience of the workings of Active Directory.
- A sound understanding of the purpose and some experience of the workings of Microsoft Exchange Server.
- A sounds understanding of the purpose and some experience of the workings of Microsoft SQL Server.
Course Outline
Module 1: Introducing Forefront Identity Manager 2010
This module is a tour of many of the built-in features of FIM focusing on the user experience. The student will explore the FIM interface, the high level architecture of FIM, and the business needs that FIM addresses. In this module, the students examine FIM in its installed and configured state, whereas the rest of the course will be spent understanding how FIM works and building the fully configured FIM from a raw installation. The lab explores creating a new user, managing groups and credentials for that user, and the experience of that new user.
Lessons
- Introducing FIM
- Synchronisation Concepts
- Other FIM Concepts
Module 2: The Synchronisation Service Manager
This module introduces the FIM Synchronisation Service Manager and explains its features through scenarios that do not use the FIM Portal. It introduces the main tools (such as Metaverse Designer, Operatinos Tool, and the Joiner), and covers the basic configuration of a Management Agent along with run profiles, results verification, and simple Metaverse search. During the lab, students will create a new Management Agent for a simple HR system.
Lessons
- The Synchronisation Service
- The Synchronisation Service Manager: The Management Agent Tool
- Synchronisation Service Manger: Other Tools
Module 3: More About Synchronisation
This module looks at various types of Management Agent (MA), including LDAP and file-based sources. It covers concepts such as schema discovery, filters, join and projections rules, connectors and disconnectors, joining, provisioning, deprovisioning, and different kinds of attribute flow.
Lessons
- Inbound Synchronisation
- Outbound Synchronisation
Module 4: The FIM Service and Portal
This module introduces the FIM Synchronisation Service Manager and explains its features through scenarios that do not use the FIM Portal. It introduce the main tools (such as Metaverse Designer, Operations Tool, and Joiner), and cover the basic configuration of a Management Agent along with run profiles, verifying results, and simple Metaverse search. During the lab students create a new Management Agent for a simple HR system.
Lessons
- Introducing the Portal
- Integrating the FIM Service and FIM Synchronisation Service
Module 5: Managing Synchronisation from the Portal
This module explores creating of an Active Directory MA, and configuration via the portal to manage mailbox-enabled users in AD. Aspects of this process include synchronisation rules, workflows, and management policy rules, including complex attribute flows. In the labs, students configure FIM so that users are automatically created (provisiones) into AD, renamed, and removed (deprovisioned) as necessary.
Lessons
- Synchronisation Rules
- Outbound Synchronisation Rules
- Managing Users in Active Directory
- More About Synchronisation Rules
Module 6: Managing Credentials with FIM
This module primarily explores passwords. First, it addresses the essentials of Certificate Management, and then explores in details the self-service password reset and password synchronisation functions. The two labs cover all aspects of password management in FIM (with the exception of writing custom password management workflows and extensions).
Lessons
- FIM Password Management
- Password Self-service Reset
- Synchronisation Passwords - PCNS
- FIM Certificate Management
Module 7: Group Management
This module covers the management of distribution and security groups, including the relationships between groups in Active Directory and other systems. Synchronisation rules, and MPRs are explored further, along with the configurations of workflow approvals.
Lessons
- Groups and the Portal
- Managing Groups in Active Directory
Module 8: Other Considerations
This modules examines the management policy rules (MPRs) - perhaps the most important feature of FIM. It explores the different types of management policy rules, their different uses, how they are processed, and how to troubleshoot them. Then it examines some operational considerations, such as the management of run cycles using scripts, and also covers backup, restore, and disaster recovery.
Lessons
- Managing MPRs
- Operations
