IdentityIQ Implementation and Administration: Essentials v8.1 (with Rapid Setup)

IdentityIQ Implementation and Administration: Essentials v8.1 (with Rapid Setup)

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to implement and configure common IdentityIQ use cases and to support a standard implementation of IdentityIQ. Using Rapid Setup, students learn best practices for onboarding and configuring application interactions (for example joiner/mover/leaver, and access requests). Students will also be able to describe, configure and administer the standard ongoing processes to load and maintain the IdentityIQ data, and list and use the tools available for monitoring and troubleshooting the system.

IdentityIQ Implementation and Administration: Essentials is led by our highly experienced training team and takes place on-line using remote conferencing technology.

Note: This course does not teach Accelerator Pack. If your IdentityIQ installation uses Accelerator Pack, we recommend that you take IdentityIQ Implementation and Administration: Essentials v8.0. The 8.0 instance is available as self-paced elearning, and upon request, as an instructor-led course. (Accelerator Pack and Rapid Setup are both configuration aids.)

Content is available one week prior to course start date through two weeks after course conclusion.

• Provide a laptop or equivalent device to run the virtual machine for the exercises (see requirements below)
• Download the Exercises PDF from the MATERIALS list in your Identity University course enrollment
• Download the Presentations PDF from the MATERIALS list in your Identity University course enrollment
• Determine how you'll access the virtual machine
  
  • Option 1 -- Browser-based Virtual Machine
    
    • Utilize the cloud-based VM via your browser for this purpose (no need to install any software on your computer)
    • Access the VM through the link listed in your SailPoint University course enrollment
    • VM access starts the week before class and ends 2 weeks after the last day
  • Option 2 -- Downloadable Virtual Machine (Preferred)
    
    • Install software to run the virtual machine -- product options:  VMWare Workstation or VM Fusion 
    • Ensure that the computer to be used for the training provides a minimum of 4GB unused RAM and a minimum 20GB of free HD space
    • Download and unzip the VM zip file from the link in your SailPoint University course enrollment
    • Test that you can successfully run the VM

What's the difference between this class and the IdentityIQ Implementation: Essentials v8.0 instance of the class?

There are two primary differences. 

1. This course is built on IdentityIQ 8.1 patch 1. This is an important distinction, as a new configuration aid, Rapid Setup, will be released with patch 1.
2. Rapid Setup replaces Accelerator Pack (the older style configuration aid) in this class.  

Note: If your IdentityIQ installation uses Accelerator Pack, we recommend that you take IdentityIQ Implementation: Essentials v8.0. The 8.0 instance is available as self-paced elearning, and upon request, as an instructor-led course.
