Network World had an interesting article on Microsoft’s identity strategy today:
Microsoft is working on restructuring its identity management platform, adding services directly into the operating system with an eye toward lessening users’ current integration chores.
The biggest additions would be folding Microsoft’s Identity Integration Server (MIIS) – a separate product and cornerstone for Microsoft’s identity platform – into Windows to add services such as provisioning and password management.
MIIS is the new name for what used to be “MMS” (Microsoft Metadirectory Server). Kim Cameron is the architect of MMS. Now we know how Kim’s technology is getting into Windows.
