First here is some background on the issue at hand. I am not a big fan of Lotus Notes, and having to synchronize data with the built in management agent for MIIS/ILM/FIM has brought me my share of joyful moments. Over the years, while monitoring an MA connection to a Lotus Notes database, I would [...]
So since we have gone from MMS –> MIIS –> ILM –> FIM, some of the components have also been renamed. Here is a post that describes some of the new names of the sub-components of FIM2010.
It’s officially out that Identity Lifecycle Manager (v2) is now Forefront Identity Manager 2010!
While searching (should I say “Kumo-ing” soon?) for a question on GALsync I came across an interesting page at the Live@EDU site related to Identity Lifecycle Manager (ILM).
It seems as soon as I get the population at work to understand what a product is, a new revision comes along with an entirely different name.

I believe it was always because the underpinnings of the CryptoAdmin system were never quite understood, and there were other ways to manage the token definitions, that it was never thought [...]
When I am out evangelizing the MIIS platform to application owners and developers, many can see the potential in having a Meta-Directory of information regarding a person. After giving presentations on how we can aggregate all of that disparate data into a common view, the question that often comes up is: How can my application [...]
This is more of a personal preference than really a best practice, but it’s something I think deciding up front could save you some time down the road. When you are setting up advanced attribute flow rules, MIIS will auto populate a FlowRuleName based upon the MV and CS attributes you have chosen to involve [...]
