Hello Everyone!
A few people have asked me recently about book samples. If you have not yet had a chance to order a print, digital, or audio copy of the book and are wondering “what’s this IAM Success thing all about?” — here are two sample links:
IAM Success Tips: Volume 1 (Sample eBook)
Volume 1 Audio Book Sample
(NOTE: Like what you hear and want to listen to a longer sample? Members of the Identity Management Success Mailing List will receive a link to the long-form sample. You can join quickly and easily by visiting the upper right-hand corner of this blog and entering your firstname and email address. You will receive a confirmation shortly after sending. Be sure to add “info [at] linksbusinessgroup.com” and “iam-success [at] aweber.com” to your email safe or white lists.)
Enjoy!
All the Best, of Identity Management Success

Hello and welcome to the Identity Management Success Podcast!
In this episode, I look at the other side of the UID/password equation and discuss:
- Password context (we’re talking good old text passwords here, not bio, pins, certificates, or other authentication mechanisms
- What is the “ideal†password
- How should a password be constructed
- How often do passwords really need to be changed
- How to create and enforce Password Policies
- And much, much more…

Hello and welcome to the Identity Management Success Podcast!
In this episode, I talk about a mission-critical, but often overlooked aspect of IAM Planning: User ID’s or UID’s. In several of our recent client projects, the questions around things such as:
- What type of UID should we use?
- What is the appropriate length?
- Should users select their own ID’s, or should a system or application make the selection?
- What UID types are the most compatible for the broadest range of systems?
- What UID format best prepares us for Federation
- And much, much more…
are frequently asked.
Don’t miss this opportunity to tune in an often discussed, but frequently under planned aspect of IAM Program Management.
