7 Administrator Guide About Management Agent for FIM Quest Management Agent for Forefront Identity Manager allows you to combine the capabilities provided by Quest ActiveRoles Server and Microsoft Forefront Identity Manager (FIM) to automate user management tasks. With Quest Management Agent for Forefront Identity Manager you can benefit from the bi-directional synchronization of user accounts, groups, and other directory objects between FIM and the Active Directory domains and AD LDS (ADAM) instances managed by ActiveRoles Server. Synchronization includes the import of directory data from specified Active Directory containers and the export of user accounts, groups, and other directory objects from FIM to Active Directory, as well as password resets triggered from FIM to Active Directory. Both the import and export operations are performed via ActiveRoles Server, allowing you to use ActiveRoles Server s security, workflow integration, reporting benefits, and automation of directory management tasks in compliance with your organization s business rules and security policies. For organizations that rely on FIM for enterprise provisioning, Quest Management Agent for Forefront Identity Manager facilitates the user provisioning in Active Directory based on users identities in corporate data stores. With the ability to export identity information from FIM to ActiveRoles Server, the Management Agent makes it possible to have FIM populate Active Directory based on business policies defined in ActiveRoles Server.

9 Administrator Guide The following table describes the options you need to configure in the Management Agent Designer in order to prepare Quest Management Agent for FIM for working with FIM and Active Directory: MANAGEMENT AGENT DESIGNER PAGE Properties (when you are creating a new Management Agent, this page is titled Create Management Agent) Configure Connection Information YOUR ACTION Specify values as necessary. For more information about the options provided on this page, see Help in FIM Synchronization Service Manager. Specify what ActiveRoles Server Administration Service you want to use for the synchronization operations. You can use one of the methods described below. Method 1: Always use specified Administration Service With this method, the Management Agent performs synchronization operation using the Administration Service you specify. To use Method 1 1. In the Connect To box, type the NetBIOS name, IP address, or Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of the computer running the ActiveRoles Server Administration Service you want to use. 2. Use the User and Password boxes to type the user name and password of the account that has sufficient rights on the Administration Service you specified in the Connect To box. Method 2: Use any available Administration Service in an ActiveRoles Server replication group To increase the reliability of your environment, you can configure the Management Agent to use any available ActiveRoles Server Administration Service in a particular ActiveRoles Server replication group. With this method, the Management Agent does not rely on a single Administration Service. Rather, the Agent will use any Administration Service available in a particular ActiveRoles Server replication group.

In the Connect To box, type the NetBIOS name, IP address, or Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of the computer running the ActiveRoles Server Administration Service whose database server acts as the Publisher for the configuration database. The Management Agent will use any available Administration Service that belongs to the same ActiveRoles Server replication group holding the specified Administration Service. 2. Use the User and Password boxes to type the user name and password of the account that has sufficient rights on the Administration Service you specified in the Connect To box. 3. On the Configure Additional Parameters page, set the value of the UseAnyAvailableAdminService parameter to True.
