Introduction FIM 2010 Training:
Microsoft forefront identity management system in short called as FIM. It is an identity management system. It provides user management, group management, credential management and policy management. The FIM brings identity management to the user, by allowing fine grained delegation of permissions and the use of most familiar client interfaces. It has got some distinct components such as FIM service and its associated portal and database. The FIM synchronization service has FIM predecessor identity lifecycle manager is the FIM synchronization service. The FIM password resets client, and FIM certificate management used to certificate life cycle manager. The Following section gives you the brief overview on the list of topics which we are going to cover as a part of FIM 2010 R2 Online Training.
