Course Overview

The Sun Java System Identity Manager: Deployment Fundamentals course presents product concepts from a deployment perspective. It focuses on addressing customer business needs by emphasizing specific product features. The course is focused on using out of the box features that do not require in-depth technical knowledge and experience. Students configure roles, resources, reconciliation, and user objects in ways that are useful for meeting customer requirements. In addition, students distribute administrative tasks to other users to model a delegated administrative environment. A case study is the foundation for implementing XPRESS, forms, rules, and provisioning workflows. This course is a prerequisite to the Sun Java System Identity Manager: Advanced Deployment Concepts course for individuals who require additional experience customizing Sun Java System Identity Manager (Identity Manager).

Audience

Students who can benefit from this course are identity management deploymentengineers, architects, implementors, professional services consultants, partners,and other technical personnel directly responsible for deploying an identitymanagement solution using Sun Java System Identity Manager (Identity Manager).
