Sun Java System Identity Manager: Administration and Maintenance (IDM-2455)
When a Sun Java System Identity Manager (Identity Manager) deployment solution is completed, and all the consultants on the project leave, the customer Identity Manager engineer, or systems administrator, is typically responsible for managing and supporting the already deployed Identity Manager solution. This course provides students with the technical knowledge and skills necessary to successfully perform administration and maintenance tasks needed to manage and support an existing Identity Manager solution for a given customer environment.
