UNIFY announces release of SharePoint Management Agent Suite

UNIFY Chief Technology Officer, Peter Tiernan, announced today release of a MOSS User Profile xMA to enable MOSS user profile stores to participate in ILM designs on equal terms with other enterprise directories such as Active Directory or an organisation's HR application.

The xMA will enable administrators to

• Turn the "My Site" feature into a true enterprise "White Pages" application which is no longer bound by your AD schema, thereby allowing synchronisation of user profiles with data from more than one authoritative source.
• provision and populate custom WSS lists synthesized from ILM, and extend this to automate custom workflows such as user account creation, or moderation of user self service (e.g. ensure only moderated changes are flowed back to ILM).
• provision individual site access where group membership is not flexible or reliable enough to be applied.
• enable your MOSS user profile store to participate in your ILM design on equal terms with other enterprise directories such as AD or your HR system.

Built using the ILM SDK, each MA in the UNIFY MOSS/WSS xMA suite supports all run profile operations, including full and delta imports (read), and export (including insert/update/delete) operations. Even with large user profile stores, full imports are executed quickly and efficiently. For User Profiles, the native MOSS 2007 UserProfileService.asmx web service is complemented with a custom UserProfileServiceEx.asmx web service to support deletions.
