Identity Management

Today, Microsoft Identity Lifecycle Manager (ILM) 2007 provides an integrated and comprehensive solution for managing the entire lifecycle of user identities and their associated credentials including certificate and smartcard management.

The next release, Microsoft Forefront Identity Manager 2010 extends the functionality of ILM 2007. New features empower end users with self-service tools integrated in Office and Windows. Additional features allow IT organizations more control through a robust delegation model and business process framework. New capabilities improve operational efficiency by automating common identity lifecycle management tasks and empowering end-users with self-help solutions.
