Forefront Identity Manager (Discontinued)

We are using Forefront with multiple entities. Many of our employees work across multiple internal entities and this allows us to control who and where.

I think that MIM is great for compliance since it reduces the number of logins that are required by users. Most offices have post-it notes with logins floating around because there are so many to remember or there are "shared" logins. This reduces the number of logins to 1 and you can easily revoke access in one fell swoop. This prevents gaps and holes with terminations and updates to select groups are super simple.

Forefront Identity Manager is being used to secure the user login procedure and requests to our new Windows Domain hosted in the Azure Cloud. Users use their digital id to keep a terminal session for shared resources and to manage sessions for our operations and customer care users. Our accounting department and IT system admins use it as well.

Forefront Identity Manager is being used to secure the user login procedure and requests to new Windows Domain users to use their digital id, to keep a terminal session or sensitive access to shared resources in a secure and manage terms well and also administrate the life-cycle membership, accounting users, project managers and service desk techs.

For Windows Server 2008 R2 is the best choice and it'll endorse the security outlines within the identity lifecycle management best practice, will give you full integration with the principal roles of a Domain and their complementary services as Exchange Server, and it'll allow to manage every single new object with ease and steady pace with it codeless provisioning features. Don't try to use FIM over the latest versions of Windows Server (2012 - 2016) for those IT admin I recommend the newest versions MIM (Microsoft Identity Manager), will fit perfect for these kind of scenarios.

We are in the beginning stages of starting to look at using Forefront Identity Manager. We are using Microsoft's Educational version of the suite of offerings from Office 365. So far the product looks promising for our need. We have a need to sync our on-premises active directory environment with our cloud environment. We need users to be able to self-manage their credentials as well. We are also looking at using the two-factor authentication portion for users that may have access to sensitive data. And for other users on a if they want to use it basis.
