The course includes recordings, hands-on labs, quizzes, and a certificate awarded upon successful completion.

Target Audience

This training is useful for IT administrators, system engineers, identity architects, and deployment partners at all seniority levels who have successfully passed the Group Synchronization training.

Trainer

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

Prerequisites

You need to complete the MidPoint Deployment: First Steps and MidPoint Deployment: Group Synchronization trainings as prerequisites.

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:

• Extend the object properties using a schema extension
• Use live synchronization instead of reconciliation
• Start using multiple account types in AD (admin accounts)
• Review the Docker configuration in the training environment
• Learn the MidPoint Query Language and use it in object searches
• Learn the MidPoint Object Language to describe midPoint objects
• Use MidPoint Studio to download, review, and upload the midPoint configuration
• Use MidPoint Studio to clean up the configuration before storing it in the Git repository
• Manage the midPoint configuration using Git
• Use bulk operation actions for midPoint data
• Use logging & tracing for troubleshooting the midPoint configuration

Course Content

This course progresses through 9 modules and 34 hands-on labs:

Module 1: Extending MidPoint Configuration
In this module, we will review the environment after the Group Synchronization training.
We will extend midPoint schema in order to synchronize additional HR attributes to midPoint and introduce the concept of live synchronization.

Objectives:

• Review the environment after the Group Synchronization training
• Extend midPoint schema
• Use extended midPoint properties
• Introduce live synchronization

Module 2: Multiple Account Types
In this module, we will update midPoint configuration to support multiple account types in order to start provisioning privileged accounts. We will start managing a new type of roles and prepare a migration of certain AD group roles to new roles.

Objectives:

• Prepare for multiple account types
• Configure a resource for privileged accounts
• Use administrative groups for privileged accounts
• Migrate AD group roles to AD administrative group roles

Module 3: Deployment Environment Review
In this module, we will review the training environment and its configuration.

Objectives:

• Review the Docker environment configuration
• Review the midPoint environment

Module 4: MidPoint Query Language
In this module, we will introduce the MidPoint Query Language and how to use it in midPoint.

Objectives:

• Understand the concepts of the MidPoint Query Language
• Use the MidPoint Query Language in searches in the GUI
• Create saved filters in the GUI

Module 5: MidPoint Object Language Introduction
In this module, we will start reviewing the midPoint configuration. We will introduce and use MidPoint Studio to create a new midPoint project. We will download and clean up the midPoint configuration in MidPoint Studio.

Objectives:

• Start reviewing the midPoint configuration in the MidPoint Object Language
• Create a midPoint project in MidPoint Studio
• Use MidPoint Studio to download and clean up the midPoint configuration

Module 6: MidPoint Configuration Review
In this module, we will use MidPoint Studio to review the midPoint configuration.

Objectives:

• Review the midPoint configuration in the MidPoint Object Language

Module 7: MidPoint Configuration Management
In this module, we will use MidPoint Studio to clean up the midPoint configuration even more, and we will create a Git repository to track the configuration changes within the project. We will examine multiple approaches to managing midPoint configuration: only using the midPoint GUI; only using Studio with the configuration in the MidPoint Object Language, and both at the same time.

Objectives:

• Use MidPoint Studio to further clean up the midPoint configuration
• Start working with the Git repository for the midPoint configuration
• Learn how to manage the configuration in midPoint

Module 8: Bulk Operations
In this module, we will introduce the concept of midPoint actions, which can be used for bulk operations. In particular, we will use midPoint actions to clean up incorrectly set user extension properties from an earlier lab.

Objectives:

• Understand the concept of midPoint actions for bulk operations
• Clean up incorrectly set user properties using midPoint actions

Module 9: Logging and Troubleshooting Introduction
In this module, we will introduce the basic concepts of midPoint operations troubleshooting. We will use logging and tracing for LDAP connector operations, mappings, and expressions. We will also introduce the midPoint documentation portal.

Objectives:

• Understand the concept of logging and tracing
• Update logging configuration
• Use logging and tracing for troubleshooting
