Fortified ID as a complement to Microsoft Identity Manager (MIM)
Complement MIM
Microsoft's Identity and Access Management (IAM) product suite, Microsoft Identity Manager (MIM), offers a number of components that enable organizations to manage the lifecycle of their identities and permissions across multiple systems.
Microsoft has stopped further developing MIM and has announced that MIM will reach "end-of-support" in 2029. Many organizations are already looking for supplements/alternatives to the more vulnerable components of MIM, such as MIM Portal. MIM Portal is based on SharePoint 2019, which in turn reaches "end-of-life" in 2026.
Fortified ID Control can be used as a complement to MIM. Fortified ID Control offers a modern interface with configurable flows that can be adapted to the specific needs of the organization. With Fortified ID Control, organizations can implement self-service flows, delegated administration and automation.
Fortified ID Control also includes several functions for validating, merging and enriching data. The flows can also be supplemented with attestation points, where one or more approvers must approve a request. For example, this can be applied in flows to change permissions, create new users or delete user accounts.
Fortified ID Control also manages password changes, both for the user himself and via delegated administration.
Control from Fortified ID
Advantages of Fortified ID Control as a complement to MIM:
-
Modern and flexible interface
-
Customizable flows to accommodate your organization's different use cases
-
Simple software lifecycle management
-
Can be implemented on-premise, in the cloud or as a hybrid solution
-
Option to keep MIMsynchronization engine and replace MIM Portal
-

Benefits
All operations (read, write, update, delete) are performed by Fortified ID Control against its own SQL database. This SQL database is imported into the MIM synchronization engine via a management agent and thus becomes its own connector space.
