Dust off the keyboard, I am open for business again!

I am glad to say that the nearly two year silence has come to an end.  During this time of silence I have been involved in working on Microsoft Identity Lifecycle Manager "2".  This is the next version of Microsoft's Identity Lifecycle Manager product line.  This new release not only builds on top of the identity management offerings included in the previous versions of this product, it includes new functionality intended to simplify managing identity data within an enterprise as well as provide a platform upon which identity aware applications may be developed.  It is this new functionality where I have been spending my time over the past two years and has forced my blog to go dark during that time.  However, with the release of Microsoft Identity Lifecycle Manager "2"'s first public beta I am again free to add content here specific to the Microsoft Identity Lifecycle Management product.

This does mean a new direction for my blog.  Instead of focusing on Windows Communication Foundation configuration issues, I will be diving into the Microsoft Identity Lifecycle Manager "2" product, specifically the Web Services platform.  I will attempt to provide some technical information on the components to help developers and enterprises understand how best to utilize this product within their identity infrastructure.  I will also provide How To's, samples, and the occasional walk through for building solutions on top of the Microsoft Identity Lifecycle Manager "2" platform.  Feel free to suggest topics as you become more familiar with Microsoft Identity Lifecycle Management.
