Learn the ins and outs of identity provisioning and governance
midPoint Deployment:
First Steps Training
Workshop Overview
midPoint, created by Evolveum, is a general-purpose identity governance and administration platform used by the InCommon Trusted Access Platform for its versatility in delivering a solution for unified management of all identity data.
Our virtual course is designed for identity management architects, system engineers, and deployment partners. The course focuses on building an extensible identity management foundation with basic synchronization and provisioning. Participants will gain a solid understanding of midPoint’s basics, and use it to integrate the first source and target systems safely, in iterations, using Evolveum’s “First Steps Methodology.” The idea: start an iterative identity management program. Reach your desired solution in a series of small steps. Each step bringing value, improving the solution, which are: Connect → Clean-up → Automate.
You will learn how to:
- create your first resources to connect to your source and target systems
- import accounts from the source system
- correlate existing accounts in the target system with midPoint
- import usernames from the target system to midPoint
- turn on provisioning to the target system in midPoint
- automate synchronization between the source and target systems via midPoint
- utilize simulations in the above steps to preview your planned changes to avoid unintended data modification or deletion
