Oracle Identity Manager 11g: Develop Identity Provisioning

Oracle Identity Manager is a highly flexible and scalable enterprise identity management system that manages the access privileges of users within enterprise IT resources. It helps to answer the critical compliance questions of "Who has access to What, When, How, and Why?" Oracle Identity Manager’s flexible architecture can handle the most complex IT and business requirements without requiring changes to existing infrastructure, policies, or procedures. With this hallmark flexibility, Oracle Identity Manager excels at handling the constant flow of business changes that impact real-world identity management deployments. This flexibility is derived from the product’s architecture, which abstracts core provisioning functions into discrete layers. Changes to workflow, policy, data flow, or integration technology are isolated within the respective functional layers of Oracle Identity Manager, thus minimizing application-wide impact. In addition, Oracle Identity Manager is flexible because all configurations are done via its powerful user interface. The product does not rely on any scripting language for setup, configuration, or process modeling. As a result, Oracle Identity Manager is the most-advanced enterprise identity management solution available. In this course, students learn essential concepts associated with Oracle Identity Manager.
