  • basics of identifier management and group/role provisioning and management

Preparation

Detailed preparation instructions will be available and distributed prior to the class.

  1. The training makes use of Virtual Machines (VMs), in this case derived from Amazon Marketplace Images (AMI) loaded on Amazon Web Services. The training team will provide access instructions when you arrive for the first day of training.
  2. You will need to have an SSH client on your laptop you can use to SSH into the VM.
  3. You will need root/administrator access on the computer you will be bringing to class so that you can modify the local hosts file.
  4. Your VM will be available during the training and for two weeks after the training. After two weeks, the VM will no longer exist, so be sure to save anything you need within two weeks of the end of the training.

Overview

This virtual, hands-on workshop will get you started with COmanage Match. This cross-system matching engine provides a heuristic-based system for matching identity and other records across multiple authoritative systems of record.

  • Set up and configure COmanage Match for your needs
  • Configure matching rules to identify canonical and potential matches
