Empower your Identity Management team with MidPoint Trainings

The identity governance landscape is robust, and implementing an Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) solution requires specialized expertise. As your trusted MidPoint integration partner, we handle the heavy lifting of your identity management (IDM) implementation, ensuring your IDM system is optimally configured and seamlessly integrated with your existing infrastructure. However, we also believe in empowering your team with the knowledge they need to effectively manage and understand your identity management solution.

That’s why we’re excited to highlight a valuable benefit available to our customers with active Evolveum subscriptions: comprehensive, free MidPoint training programs designed to enhance your team’s understanding of the MidPoint identity governance platform we implement for you.

Why Your Team Should Consider MidPoint Identity Management Training

While we manage the technical complexities of your IGA implementation, there are significant advantages to having your administrative staff trained on the identity management platform:

• Improved Communication: When your team understands the terminology and concepts behind MidPoint, our collaborative efforts become more effective and efficient.
• Faster Issue Resolution: Basic troubleshooting knowledge enables your team to identify and communicate issues more precisely, thereby reducing downtime.
• Greater Autonomy: For routine identity governance tasks and basic configurations, trained staff can make changes without always depending on external support.
• Better Feature Utilization: Understanding MidPoint’s identity management capabilities helps your organization leverage more of its powerful features to address business needs.
• Stronger Security Posture: Knowledgeable administrators make fewer configuration mistakes that could potentially compromise security.

As your MidPoint integration partner, we’ve seen how organizations that invest in identity management training alongside professional implementation services achieve better outcomes and higher satisfaction with their IGA solutions.

Evolveum’s MidPoint Training Path

Evolveum offers a progressive MidPoint training curriculum that perfectly complements our identity governance services. Each course builds upon previous knowledge, creating a logical learning path for your IDM administrative team.

MidPoint Deployment: First Steps Training

The journey begins with the “First Steps” training, which provides your team with fundamental knowledge of MidPoint IDM. Updated for MidPoint 4.8, this course covers:

• Understanding the MidPoint identity management architecture
• Basic identity synchronization and account provisioning concepts
• How Joiner-Mover-Leaver (JML) identity processes works
• Management of birthright permissions within your IDM system
• Using modern MidPoint features like simulations and smart correlation

This initial identity management training is particularly valuable for your administrators who need to understand the day-to-day operations of their MidPoint IGA implementation.

MidPoint Deployment: Group Synchronization Training

For teams ready to advance their identity management knowledge, the MidPoint Group Synchronization training expands understanding of how to configure group management in MidPoint. Based on MidPoint 4.9, this course covers:

• How identity groups and access roles function within MidPoint IDM
• Understanding the group synchronization methodology
• How to safely manage group memberships and identity roles

This intermediate-level MidPoint training helps your team better understand the role-based access control model, enabling more effective collaboration between identity administrators and our MidPoint integration team.

MidPoint Deployment: Intermediate Configuration Training

For organizations seeking a deeper understanding of the technical aspects, the Intermediate MidPoint Configuration training introduces more advanced concepts in identity management. Based on MidPoint 4.9.1, this course covers:

• How schema extensions can be utilized to address your organization’s unique identity management requirements
• Query techniques for better IGA reporting and troubleshooting
• Understanding bulk operations that might affect your IDM environment
• Effective logging strategies to help your team provide us with better information when identity management support is needed

This training provides your technical staff with valuable insights into how to customize MidPoint to meet your specific business needs.

The MidPoint Training Experience

We understand that your team has many responsibilities beyond identity governance. Evolveum has thoughtfully structured their MidPoint IGA training to accommodate busy schedules:

Flexible, Self-Paced Identity Management Learning

Each MidPoint training course consists of multiple modules delivered through recorded sessions, allowing your identity team to:

• Learn at their own pace without disrupting daily IDM operations
• Review complex identity governance concepts relevant to your specific implementation
• Fit MidPoint training around existing work commitments and our implementation schedule

Practical Identity Management Knowledge Application

The theoretical identity governance concepts are reinforced with hands-on exercises that can be directly applied to your MidPoint environment:

• Lab exercises using resources similar to your actual IDM implementation
• Scenarios based on common challenges your identity administrators might face
• A balanced approach of lectures, labs, and knowledge-check quizzes on MidPoint identity management

Professional MidPoint Certification

Upon completing the MidPoint training requirements (including scoring at least 85% on quizzes and completing all lab work), your team members receive certificates validating their MidPoint identity management knowledge. These certifications demonstrate your organization’s commitment to maintaining internal IGA expertise.
