Overview
Provide help to secure, centralized identity management services to coordinate user authentication and authorization with client systems, network services, and Windows domains.
Red Hat Security: Identity Management and Authentication (RH362) provides the skills to configure and manage Identity Management (IdM), the comprehensive identity management component bundled with Red Hat Enterprise Linux. This course helps students to gain the skills with this technology most requested by customers.
Some topics covered in this course are central management and provisioning of user accounts; design and installation of IdM server topologies; operation of the integrated DNS and TLS Certificate Authority services; management of two-factor authentication, smart card authentication, and operation as a single-sign on provider; integration and management of two-way trusts with Active Directory; and troubleshooting and disaster recovery planning. Registration of Linux clients to IdM and operation in enterprise environments that use both Linux and Microsoft Windows clients and servers is discussed.
Following course completion, you will receive a 45-day extended access to hands-on labs for any course that includes a virtual environment.

Course Objectives
Impact on the organization
Businesses will be able to integrate and centralize lifecycle management and security policy implementation and enforcement, and extend that consolidated management to additional enterprise configuration management products from the Red Hat portfolio, including Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform and Red Hat Satellite Server.
Impact on the individual
As a result of attending this course, you will gain an understanding of the architecture of an identity management realm and trusted relationships using both Identity Management in Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Microsoft Active Directory. You will be able to create, manage, and troubleshoot user management structures, security policies, local and remote secure access methods, and implementation technologies such as SSSD, Kerberos, PKI, and certificates.
