You probably heard about the announcement of Microsoft Identity Lifecycle Manager 2007. This product will combine MIIS SP2 and Certificate Lifecycle Manager (CLM) functionality in a single offering.

MIIS has been a part of Microsoft line of products for quite a few years, but CLM is likely to be new to a lot of us. So probably you are just starting to learn about the capabilities of this product. I recently conducted a proof of concept where I demonstrated to a client the key functionality of CLM. I recorded those use cases and provide them here as part of this blog. I am hoping that these short walkthroughs will provide you with a basic overview of CLM.
