FIM CM is indeed the outcast of the FIM product family. Nevertheless, it is a very powerful component in an overall identity management perspective.
Enrolling certificates using FIM CM adds a layer of permission and workflow capabilities, which are not available using built-in functionality, in Active Directory Certificate Services.
In this chapter, we have seen how to configure FIM CM and also looked at one example of allowing a manager to issue a Smart Card to consultants.
In the next and final chapter, we will take a look at troubleshooting FIM. Troubleshooting might sometimes force us to do some recovery, so we will look at backup and recovery as well.
