The success of an identity integration solution is closely tied to the quality of the planning the users do upfront. To properly design and plan an identity integration solution, one must have a complete understanding of how the design decisions a person makes affect the data flow in and out of the Microsoft Identity Integration Server (MIIS) 2003 environment. The key to making good design decisions is to understand the entire process (global picture) of designing a solution as well as the nuances of how the different components in an MIIS environment work together. This paper introduces the concept of object-level Identity Functions (IFunctions) in an identity integration scenario, discusses possible implementation options, and also provides implementation recommendations.
