Generate SailPoint IdentityNow v2 & v3 API Credentials

24th of October, 2019 / / No Comments

This post details how to generate SailPoint IdentityNow v2 and v3 API credentials. This method is valid as of Oct 2019 whereby v3 Credentials are now able to be generated via the SailPoint IdentityNow Portal and v2 Credentials can be generated via the IdentityNow API. v2 credentials are useful for some legacy API’s and API calls that are long running tasks (which thereby use Digest Auth) over using the v3 JWT method. These credentials can then be leveraged by the  SailPoint IdentityNow PowerShell Module for IdentityNow orchestration tasks.… [Keep reading] “Generate SailPoint IdentityNow v2 & v3 API Credentials”

Multi-Threading Granfeldt PowerShell Management Agent Imports

30th of August, 2019 / / No Comments

As I’m sure you are familiar (with my many posts on the topic), the Granfeldt PowerShell Management Agent is extremely flexible. When used to integrate Microsoft Identity Manager with modern REST API’s it is easy to retrieve pages of results from a REST API and process the objects through the Management Agent. However sometimes you need to integrate Microsoft Identity Manager with an API (e.g. a SOAP WebService) that doesn’t provide functionality to page results.… [Keep reading] “Multi-Threading Granfeldt PowerShell Management Agent Imports”

ChatOps for Microsoft Identity Manager

28th of August, 2019 / / No Comments

A Bot or ChatOps for Microsoft Identity Manager is something I’ve had in the back of my mind for just over two years. More recently last year I did build the Voice Assistant for Microsoft Identity Manager as a submission for an IoT Hackathon. But what is ChatOps?

ChatOps is a collaboration model that connects people, tools, process, and automation into a transparent workflow. This flow connects the work needed, the work happening, and the work done in a persistent location staffed by the people, bots, and related tools.… [Keep reading] “ChatOps for Microsoft Identity Manager”

An Azure MFA Management Agent for User MFA Reporting using Microsoft Identity Manager

19th of July, 2019 / / No Comments

Microsoft as part of the uplift in Authentication Methods capability have extended the Graph API to contain User Azure MFA information. My customers have been requesting MFA User Reporting data for some time. How many users are registered for Azure MFA? What and how many methods are they registered with? The new Graph API functions provide this information and we no longer have to use the legacy MSOLUser PowerShell cmdlet to obtain the strongAuthenticationMethods information. The new API’s provide;

Azure MFA User Reporting Management Agent

With this new functionality exposed, I’ve built an Azure MFA Management Agent for Microsoft Identity Manager to consume information from the credentialRegistrationDetails API, which can then be used in Identity Workflows to trigger notifications to users that don’t have enough registered methods (e.g.… [Keep reading] “An Azure MFA Management Agent for User MFA Reporting using Microsoft Identity Manager”

Automated Microsoft Identity Manager Configuration Backups & Documentation to Azure

17th of July, 2019 / / No Comments

Two and half years ago I wrote this post on creating an Azure Function to trigger the process of Automating Microsoft Identity Manager Configuration backups. The Azure Function piece was a little obtuse. I was using it, as it was the “new thing” and it was my new hammer. And everything was a nail. The reality is that the rest of the process is completely valid (nightly backups of your development Identity Manager configuration).… [Keep reading] “Automated Microsoft Identity Manager Configuration Backups & Documentation to Azure”

Using AzCopy with Azure Virtual Machines Managed Identity

10th of July, 2019 / / No Comments

The Managed Identities for Azure Resources feature is a free service with Azure Active Directory. Formerly known as Managed Service Identity, Managed Identities for Azure Resources first appeared in services such as Azure Functions a couple of years ago. Much more recent though Azure Copy (AzCopy) now supports Azure Virtual Machines Managed Identity. This negates the need to get and manage SAS keys or certificates, and even the need for installing and leveraging the AzureRM or AzRM PowerShell modules.… [Keep reading] “Using AzCopy with Azure Virtual Machines Managed Identity”

Troubleshooting the SailPoint IdentityNow RACF Connector Gateway Configuration

4th of July, 2019 / / No Comments

Installing and configuring a SailPoint IdentityNow RACF Connector isn’t something you do everyday. It’s probably something you will only over do once or twice it at all. This post is my learnings from troubleshooting the SailPoint IdentityNow RACF Connector Gateway to allow the IdentityNow RACF Source to connect to the RACF Agent on z/OS. The best background reference for such a configuration is this document on Compass. The IdentityNow RACF Connector Gateway can be downloaded from here.… [Keep reading] “Troubleshooting the SailPoint IdentityNow RACF Connector Gateway Configuration”

Configuring a SailPoint IdentityNow JDBC Source with multivalue fields – ‘mergeColumns’

2nd of July, 2019 / / No Comments

Recently I was configuring a SailPoint IdentityNow JDBC Source with data a little different than a simple series of single valued columns. The Source was an Oracle SQL View with around 19 columns of which one key column was multi-valued. It contained a list of the Roles a user is a member of.

Just like doing anything for the first time there was some trial and error before I got the JDBC Source all configured and the Import, Correlation and Aggregation working.… [Keep reading] “Configuring a SailPoint IdentityNow JDBC Source with multivalue fields – ‘mergeColumns’”

A Rudimentary RACF Management Agent for Microsoft Identity Manager

26th of June, 2019 / / No Comments

A RACF Management Agent for Microsoft Identity Manager ? Isn’t there one in the box? No. Host Integration Management Agents were deprecated when Microsoft released Forefront Identity Manager as the successor to Identity Lifecycle Manager (ILM). I understand it was partly due to lack of demand for the integration, and the reliance on Host Integration Server (HIS) along with the move in operating system support 32-bit (in ILM) to 64-bit (in FIM). With ILM integration with Host Systems via HIS you were required to map out the key sequences anyway.… [Keep reading] “A Rudimentary RACF Management Agent for Microsoft Identity Manager”
