Identity Lifestyle Manager Server License
Microsoft Identity Lifecycle Manager (ILM) 2007 enables IT organizations to
reduce the cost of managing the identity and access life cycle by providing a
single view of a user's identity across the heterogeneous enterprise and through
the automation of common tasks. ILM 2007 builds on the metadirectory and user
provisioning capabilities in Microsoft Identity Integration Server (MIIS) 2003
and adds new capabilities for managing strong credentials such as smartcards,
providing an integrated approach that pulls together metadirectory, certificate
and password management, and user provisioning across Windows and other
enterprise systems.
ILM 2007 simplifies the process of matching and managing identity records from
disparate data repositories, and prevents anomalies, such as active records for
employees who have left the organization. ILM 2007 provides IT with a policy
framework to control and track the identity and access data that helps manage
compliance. It also includes self-help tools for end users, enabling IT to
improve efficiency by securely delegating many tasks to end users. Another key
feature of ILM 2007 is that it includes a Windows-based certificate management
solution that integrates with the Windows Server 2003 operating system and
Active Directory to provide a turnkey solution for managing the end-to-end life
cycle of smart cards and digital certificates for the Windows Server 2003
Certificate Authority.
