Basic Information

• Training based on midPoint 4.8
• Duration: 2025/02/17 – 2025/02/19, time zone: EDT
• Place: online, Zoom platform
• 9 modules and 32 hands-on labs
• Certificate of Completion
• This training is a prerequisite to the MidPoint Deployment: Group Synchronization training by means of which you can extend your knowledge from managing users and their accounts to roles and groups.

Description

Join our live course aimed at building an extendable IGA foundation with basic synchronization and provisioning. This training will teach you how to carry out go-live regardless of data quality from HR, automate the Joiner-Mover-Leaver (JML) processes, manage birthright permissions, and use the latest features, such as simulations and smart correlation. The course participants will gain a solid understanding of midPoint’s basics and use it to integrate the first source and target systems safely in iterations with Evolveum’s “First Steps methodology”.

Target Audience

This training is useful for newcomers to identity management and governance, newcomers to midPoint, IT administrators, system engineers, identity architects, and deployment partners at all seniority levels.

Trainer

This training is hosted by our Expert Identity Engineer, Ivan Noris.

Prerequisites

No previous knowledge of midPoint is required.

Previous experience with concepts of user provisioning and identity management & governance is welcome.

Skills Gained

Upon completion of this course, you should be able to:

• Create your first resources to connect to your source and target systems
• Import accounts from a source system
• Correlate existing accounts in a target system with midPoint
• Import usernames from a target system to midPoint
• Turn on provisioning to a target system in midPoint
• Automate the synchronization between a source system and a target system via midPoint
• Utilize simulations in the above steps to preview what is going to happen to avoid unintended data modification or deletion

Course Content

This course progresses through 9 modules and 32 hands-on labs:

1. Planning Your Deployment Project
In this module, we will introduce an environment in which we are about to deploy midPoint. We will define the main goals of this deployment and introduce the First steps methodology.

LAB 1-1: Inspect Your Environment

2. Connecting a Source System
In this module, we will introduce basic midPoint concepts related to provisioning, such as target systems, resources, and connectors, as well as create a new HR resource using the midPoint resource wizard.

LAB 2-1: Create an HR Resource

LAB 2-2: Configure an HR Resource

3. Importing Source Data
In this module, we will introduce midPoint simulations and use them to preview the import of data from an HR resource. Then we will import the data from the HR resource to midPoint to create users.

LAB 3-1: Single Source System Entry Import Simulation

LAB 3-2: Source System Data Import

4. Connecting a Target System
In this module, we will connect to the Active Directory using a predefined resource template. We will review the configuration that focuses on correlation and synchronization.

LAB 4-1: Creating an Active Directory Resource From a Template

LAB 4-2: Reviewing Active Directory Resource Synchronization Configuration

5. Target System Integration
In this module, we will simulate the integration of the Active Directory with midPoint. Accounts will be correlated to their midPoint owners. We will review orphaned accounts and decide their fate.

LAB 5-1: Simulated Correlation with the Active Directory

LAB 5-2: Marking Accounts

LAB 5-3: Ignoring Orphaned Accounts

LAB 5-4: Real Correlation with the Active Directory

6. Importing Usernames from a Target System
In this module, we will import usernames from the Active Directory to midPoint users. We will also clean up orphaned accounts in the Active Directory and resolve uncorrelated accounts from the previous modules.

LAB 6-1: Preparing Configuration For Username Import

LAB 6-2: Username Import Simulation

LAB 6-3: Username Import From the Active Directory

LAB 6-4: Deleting Orphaned Active Directory Accounts

LAB 6-5: Finalizing Correlation

7. Enabling Provisioning to a Target System
In this module, we will prepare the Active Directory resource for provisioning. We will make sure not to cause any unexpected changes in the Active Directory by using simulations.

LAB 7-1: Reviewing the Active Directory Resource Provisioning Configuration

LAB 7-2: Active Directory Provisioning Simulation

LAB 7-3: Active Directory Provisioning

8. Automating Integration
In this module, we will turn on the automatic provisioning of changes from HR to the Active Directory. This also includes generating midPoint usernames.

LAB 8-1: Generating Usernames in midPoint

LAB 8-2: Automating Active Directory Account Creation For All Users

LAB 8-3: Automating Active Directory Group Membership For All Users

LAB 8-4: Enforcing AD Account Data

LAB 8-5: Handling HR Data Updates

LAB 8-6: Handling Long-term Leave

LAB 8-7: Handling Leavers

LAB 8-8: Adding a New Outbound Mapping

LAB 8-9: Adding New Attribute Provisioning From HR to the AD

LAB 8-10: Exchanging an Inbound Mapping

9. Overriding Incorrect Data
In this module, we will demonstrate a situation with incorrect data coming from a dominant source of data and how to override it using midPoint.

LAB 9-1: Overriding a Malicious User Status

LAB 9-2: Overriding Incorrect HR Data

LAB 9-3: Overriding a Username

Price

• Price: 1.750 EUR / person excluding VAT
• Price: USD 2,000 / person excluding taxes
• Before signing up for the training course, we recommend reading our Terms and Conditions.

Discounts

* Discounts can be combined. We will follow successive discounts when calculating the final price.
For example, if the original price is 1.750 EUR, and discounts of 20% and 10% can be applied, we will follow the following calculation: 1.750 EUR with a 20% discount = 1.400 EUR. After that a 10% discount is applied: 1.400 EUR with a 10% discount = 1.260 EUR. Therefore, the final price would be 1.260 EUR.

** Early bird is applicable if an order is received 2 calendar months prior to the course taking place.
