Week 7 Posting - Identity and Access Management

 

This week, the class and I learned about identity and access management. We learned how to evaluate account manage requirements and other technical concerns. During my studies, I learned about common identity and access management (IAM) issues that may hinder and negatively impact performance and productivity. When it comes to issues related to authentication, there are three common areas of impact: expired certificates, misconfigured certificate, and federation /single sign-on issues (West, 2022, p. 288). When certificates expire, it’s common for the system to send a friendly reminder to the user that they’ll expire within a certain duration. In some cases, the certificates will need to be renewed manually. Checking the expiration date of a certificate can help the users to acknowledge when it’ll be time to renew it. In some cases, users attempt the wrong certificate to access or perform a command in the system. If that’s the case, go to the root and configure it correctly. Lastly, mistyping is a common problem when signing to a system. Ensure the credentials are correct and there’s no blockage between the SSO service and service provider’s app (West, 2022, p. 288).
