Creating SailPoint IdentityNow Source Configuration Backups and HTML Reports with PowerShell

25th of October, 2018 / / No Comments

In this post from earlier in the week I detailed leveraging the SailPoint IdentityNow APIs to retrieve IdentityNow Sources, and their configuration. This post takes that a little further, backing up the configuration and also creating a friendly HTML Report with each Sources’ Configuration and Schema. The resulting HTML Report that is dynamically created reports on all Sources in an IdentityNow Tenant Org and looks like the image below.  Sample Report.PNG

After selecting a Source you can then expand a report section for the Source Details and another for the Schema. … [Keep reading] “Creating SailPoint IdentityNow Source Configuration Backups and HTML Reports with PowerShell”

Automating the generation of Microsoft Identity Manager Configuration Documentation

Introduction

Last year Microsoft released the Microsoft Identity Manager Configuration Documenter which is available here. It is a fantastic little tool from Microsoft that supersedes its predecessor from the Microsoft Identity Manager 2003 Resource Toolkit (which only documented the Sync Server Configuration).
Running the tool (a PowerShell Module) against a base out-of-the-box reference configuration for FIM/MIM Servers reconciled against an exported configuration from the MIM Sync and Service Servers from an implementation, generates an HTML Report document that details the existing configuration of the MIM Service and MIM Sync.… [Keep reading] “Automating the generation of Microsoft Identity Manager Configuration Documentation”

A modern way to track FIM/MIM Attribute Value History utilizing Power BI

Microsoft Identity Manager is fantastic for keeping data consistent between connected systems. Often however you want to know what a previous value of an attribute was. FIM/MIM however can only tell you the current value and the Management Agent it was received on and when.
In the past where I’ve had to provide a solution to either make sure an attribute has a unique value forever (e.g email address or loginID (don’t reuse email addresses or loginID)) or just attribute value history I’ve used two different approaches;

  • Store previous values in an SQL Table and have an SQL MA that flows out the values
  • Store historical values in a Multi-Valued attribute on the user object in the Metaverse

Both are valid approaches but often fall down when you want to quickly get a report on that metadata.… [Keep reading] “A modern way to track FIM/MIM Attribute Value History utilizing Power BI”
