Microsoft is hosting a technical session discussing solutions around Rights Management, Identity Management, and Federated Services. In this session we will describe how to leverage your existing investment in Active Directory to enable rights management with Microsoft Office, SharePoint, and Exchange to protect your institution’s documents and communications. We will also discuss how Forefront Identity Manager can be used to ensure that user objects and attributes are in sync and correctly provisioned across multiple directory systems/services within your organization. Finally, we will also cover how Active Directory Federation Services can allow third party access into your institution’s AD enabled applications without the need to maintain separate identities.
