Summary


The SSPR feature is a very nice one, which can save companies that are using passwords a lot of money. In this chapter, we have seen how easy it is to enable and configure the Self-Service Password Reset feature. If you look at http://aka.ms/FIMR2QuickStart, you will see that there is a QuickStart tool to get started with SSPR even quicker.

We need to decide early on whether we want the same solution for both internal and external access to the SSPR feature. If we would like to separate them, we need to install a separate set of SSPR registration and reset portals and modify the FIM Service MPRs and workflows, accordingly.

Talking about external, what if the identities we manage are in the cloud? The next chapter will discuss how FIM can be used when managing cloud identities.
