All those add-on solutions had one thing in common - they were re-creating the IdM UI the way partners saw it through their eyes. Solutions to the problem started evolving - from simple to complex, from just showing the important information to the end users, to offering them comprehensive Fiori UIs streamlining their every day job. However, thanks to the SAP Partner network, the above statement didn't really come true. This deadly combination pointed only in one direction -> SAP IdM won't have a Fiori end user interface anytime soon. The reasons behind were multiple, but to focus on the two most important - incomplete and outdated REST v1 interface (at the time) and extremely complex dynamic generated Web Dynpro end user interfaces. SAP IdM did an attempt to catch the wave already back in the 7.2 release, but apart from releasing a simple self-service static UI in SAPUI5, nothing else ever came to light. Most (not all) of the SAP solutions have received their part of the Fiori pie and now shine in their new armor being more appealing, easy to use and mobile friendly. End user interface (dedicated blog available at the end of the chapter)įirst in the list comes the largely outdated end user interface of the product. For everyone else, our journey will not start with the basics of what SAP IdM is and what the product is all about, rather I will list the most common functionalities of the product that are missing or not user-friendly to use and how you can overcome those on your way to a nearly-perfect identity management system. For those of you, who can't wait for the resolution of the title, feel free to skip to the end of the blog. The first (this one) will try to give you the overview needed in order to make informed future decisions about the product. The above has led me to write this blog, which is just the beginning of a series of blogs I plan on the topic. SAP Identity Management 8.0 plays an important role in both on-premise and hybrid scenarios for homogeneous and heterogeneous SAP/non-SAP landscapes It was part of multiple sessions on cloud identity management, where it played an important role in various hybrid scenarios. However, at a second glance, SAP IdM was present, just under the hood. Even the Roadmap session (the only one to mention it in its title) was somewhat not very informative about the future of the product and what will happen with it in the next 5 to 10 years. For those of you who attended SAP TechEd this year (2018), you might have noticed the diminished intensity of SAP Identity Management sessions, which include the name of the product directly in the session name.
