Being able to investigate how the midPoint entity registry works really piqued our interest. Our system of record for faculty, staff, and students is Banner. We have a custom-engineered IdMS for faculty and staff onboarding. It’s a mix of web forms, a database, and Perl scripts that provision accounts to our LDAP directory. Provisioning of students we do using extracts from Banner and scripts. So, that the process is manual. The goal of hooking up midPoint to Banner to get the identity data to flow will be finally doing near real-time provisioning from our ERP. That’s been a long time coming. We’re also looking at creating and assigning our digital identifier, the Lafayette NetID, using midPoint. We’ll see if midPoint has a capability that can do that.
