COSuser and MIIS integration |
|
|

This White Paper
describes a means for implementing end-to-end
identity management via the seamless integration of two best-of-breed
components in the area of user provisioning and metadirectory services. They
are Open System Management's (OSM's) user provisioning software,
COSuser, and Microsoft Corporation's MIIS identity management
