Looking forward to seeing you there.
- Monday 18th 2010 – 9:15 to 10:15
- Room C4
- Session Code: SEC 301
- Session Title: Microsoft Forefront Identity Manager 2010: In Production
- Abstract: Microsoft Forefront Identity Manager (FIM) includes many rich integration and self-service features across multiple platforms. Deploying and troubleshooting FIM requires broad knowledge of technologies such as Active Directory, SharePoint, Exchange, SQL, Windows Communication Foundation, Workflow Foundation, and ILM 2007. In this session we walk you through how to deploy and manage FIM in production by showing common troubleshooting approaches, migrating configuration, and common resolutions. The session is appropriate for attendees who plan to configure or administer FIM both in-house and on behalf of customers.
- Tuesday 19th 2010 – 10:45 to 11:45
- Room D5
- Session Code: SEC 310
- Session Title: Identity and Access Management: Deploying Microsoft Forefront Identity Manager 2010 Certificate Management
- Abstract: This session takes an under the hood look at a migration of from a proprietary smart card management system to FIM 2010 Certificate Management, by evaluating Microsoft IT’s internal deployment as an example. The session describes Microsoft’s PKI deployment, highlights the challenges faced with the previous smart card management system and Microsoft’s plans for their FIM CM deployment. The session will provide real world examples of how FIM CM is utilised and what lessons can be learned when looking at the deployment of smartcard and certificate management within your own environment.
- Tuesday 19th 2010 – 14:30 to 15:30
- Room A3
- Session Code: SEC 311
- Session Title: Identity and Access Management: Managing Active Directory Using Microsoft Forefront Identity Manager
- Abstract: Don’t miss the chance to see demos and understand how Microsoft Forefront Identity Manager (FIM) can be used to manage objects in Active Directory (AD). We walk through importing objects from Active Directory whilst delegating management of users and groups. You learn that there is more to the story than self-service group management and self-service password reset as we also look at how to tie together group policy with FIM as well as automating management of role-based security groups. You should walk away from this session with a warm feeling that there is a great solution out there that can increase data quality and consistency in Active Directory for applications using the identity information and that there are ways to empower end users as well as delegated administrators to take care of day to day tasks in Active Directory.
- Tuesday 19th 2010 – 17:15 to 18:15
- Room C1Session Code: WTB 338
- Session Title: Microsoft Forefront Identity Manager 2010 Deep Dive
- Abstract: The Microsoft FIM 2010 deep dive sessions explores the next generation Microsoft identity management platform as part of fundamental paradigm shift in identity management as an enabler for a dynamic information technology organisation. The session dives into platform customisation and potential ISV solution that enhances the FIM 2010 platform
