The Getting Started With PingOne Advanced Identity Cloud for Administrators course introduced students to a broad range of the identity management and access management features of PingOne Advanced Identity Cloud (Advanced Identity Cloud), formerly known as ForgeRock® Identity Cloud. Each lesson briefly covered the core concepts and basic implementation of a feature, but did not go into any depth. This course explores the identity management-related features in more depth, how they work, and the configuration options available during implementation.
Skills Gained
Upon completion of this course, you should be able to:
- Model a custom user profile onto an existing user managed object type, query objects using the REST interface, create an organization model, and describe the relationship properties between objects • Create and configure connections between external resources and Advanced Identity Cloud.
- Synchronize identity data across multiple external resources, in real-time or by scheduling reconciliation events, and consolidate multiple identity data stores into one centralized identity store
