Overview

Learn how to install and deploy PingIDM (IDM) in an on-prem or self-managed cloud environment to manage the lifecycle and relationship of digital identities. Topics include how to model identity objects in IDM, create connector configurations and synchronization mappings to manage the flow identity objects and properties with various external identity resources, manage workflows, and deploy IDM within a cluster. This course explores the identity management-related features in depth, how they work, and the configuration options available during implementation.

Reviews

The course was informative, and I learnt a new skill. The instructor was up to the point.

I was very pleased with the course setup by ExitCertified and the instructor.

Instructor was great, course was mostly very good except for too much focus on pricing

The exit certified aws course provided a good introduction to the tools available on aws.

I liked the pace of the course. I like that I have more than instance to use the lab.
