Microsoft Identity Manager 2016

On-premises identity and access management

• Synchronize identities between directories, databases and applications
• Self-service password, group and certificate management
• Increase admin security with policies, privileged access and roles
• Thwart identity theft with Microsoft Identity Manager (MIM)

What is Microsoft Identity Manager

• Cloud-ready identities
  Automatically prepare Active Directory identities for synchronization with Azure Active Directory.
• Powerful self-service
  Password reset with Azure Multi-Factor Authentication, dynamic groups with approvals and redesigned certificate management
• Enhanced security
  Hybrid reporting and privileged access management to protect admin accounts, and support for new security protocols.

Benefits:

• Common identity
  Simplify identity lifecycle management with automated workflows, business rules and easy integration with heterogeneous platforms across the datacenter and cloud. Automate identity and group provisioning based on business policy and implement workflow-driven provisioning through a single interface. Extend MIM to support new scenarios through the Visual Studio and .NET development environments.
• Protect data
  Discover and map permissions across multiple systems to individual, assignable roles. Use role mining tools to discover permission sets for users across the enterprise to be later modeled and applied centrally. Increase visibility into compliance and the security state of systems across the organization with in-depth auditing and reporting.
• Enable users
  Allow users to self-remediate identity issues, including group membership, smart card and password reset functions. An easy-to-use interface delivers increased productivity and satisfaction.
• Unify access
  Reduce the number of usernames and passwords needed to login. Ensure admin accounts are only going where they need to go and doing what they need to do. Groups can automatically update their membership to ensure only the right people have access to your resources.

Why MIM?

• It's flexible
  Customize with rules, policies and connectors to your business systems, and provide self-service.
• It's powerful
  You make the rules and you enforce the rules. Flexible sync rules, workflows and policies that you define.
• Cloud-ready
  Azure technologies like hybrid reporting and Multi-Factor Authentication join password, group and certificate management.
• Good communicator
  Detailed reports tell you what's changing and the history of your identities, notifications, custom emails and approvals.

How it works:

• Connect
  Connect Active Directory identities to other locations like directories, databases and applications.
• Exchange
  Exchange identities among these different locations, tuning them up as needed.
• Self-service
  Enable password, group and certificate management for your users with simple self-service that can use strong security.
• Share
  Use Azure Active Directory Connect to sync identities from Active Directory to Azure Active Directory, opening up a world of possibility with and deliver SaaS app single sign-on and self-service in the cloud.
