We now offer a learning pathway with two great workshops, midPoint Deployment: First Steps and midPoint Deployment: Group Synchronization. Join us for one or both!
MidPoint Deployment: First Steps Workshop Overview
MidPoint, created by Evolveum, is a general-purpose identity governance and administration platform used by the InCommon Trusted Access Platform for its versatility in delivering a solution for unified management of all identity data.
Our virtual course is designed for identity management architects, system engineers, and deployment partners. The course focuses on building an extensible identity management foundation with basic synchronization and provisioning. Participants will gain a solid understanding of midPoint’s basics, and use it to integrate the first source and target systems safely, in iterations, using Evolveum’s “First Steps Methodology.” The idea: start an iterative identity management program. Reach your desired solution in a series of small steps. Each step bringing value, improving the solution, which are: Connect → Clean-up → Automate.
You will learn how to:
create your first resources to connect to your source and target systems
import accounts from the source system
correlate existing accounts in the target system with midPoint
import usernames from the target system to midPoint
turn on provisioning to the target system in midPoint
automate synchronization between the source and target systems via midPoint
utilize simulations in the above steps to preview your planned changes to avoid unintended data modification or deletion
Prerequisites for the course: no previous knowledge of midPoint is required.
How the Workshop is Delivered
This workshop is designed to support live engagement with instructors and other participants, while still enabling students to complete self-paced work and to practice new skills. Yes, it’s the best of both worlds!

Preparing for the Workshop
Detailed preparation instructions will be available and distributed prior to the class.
The hands-on labs will require a web browser.
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 instructions for accessing the VMs prior to the training.
Your VM will be available during the training and for two weeks after its completion. 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.

Course Cancellation Policy for Participants: In the event that a course does not meet the minimum enrollment requirements, we reserve the right to cancel or reschedule the course. Participants will be notified approximately 10 days before the course start date if minimum enrollments have not been met. In such cases, participants will have the choice to either receive a full refund or utilize their payment as credit towards a future course (for the same software component or a different one) within the same calendar year. We understand the inconvenience caused and aim to provide suitable alternatives or refunds promptly.
MidPoint Deployment: Group Synchronization Workshop Overview
Our virtual course is designed for identity management architects, system engineers, and deployment partners. The course is aimed to extend the IGA configuration delivered in the First Steps training with group synchronization and provisioning. Participants will extend the integration of the first source and target systems with the concepts of groups and roles. The integration will be again performed safely, in iterations, using Evolveum’s “Group Synchronization Methodology”.
The course is appropriate for:
beginners with midPoint with only “First Steps” training completed
MidPoint veterans who would like to learn the “Group Synchronization” deployment methodology and refresh the basics using current midPoint release and its features
You will learn how to:
extend midPoint configuration with synchronization of groups, roles and similar objects, including membership
migrate the existing group management to midPoint, gradually, safely handling exceptions
assign roles to users to provision their accounts to target system and make them member of corresponding groups, roles and similar objects
utilize simulations to preview your planned changes to avoid unintended data modification or deletion
