After two years of weekendtesting identity protocols like UMA I am given the opportunity to show my testing skills in identity management in an international enterprise.
And it's not only identity management I have to test, it's IAM: Identity and Access Management. A difference I'll explain in a future post.
Multiple applications, multiple users and multiple devices (BYOD) and all in an international context: that's a challenge I want to take.
I will have to test the whole chain, so it will not be only to check if a user can log in. No, it demands a good functional and technical understanding of the chain and its points of failures.
And I found out, it has to be good from the beginning.
It is a chain test, so no stubs or drivers are allowed and the testdata has to be fed in the enterprise personnel management system based on SAP HR.
SAP I always wanted to learn, so here's my chance.
This will be an adventurous job, with every day different things in IAM to test:
authentication, authorization, IAM-software, SAP, BYOD, Role Based Access Management are just a few.
Did I already say I'll have to test this on my own with a lot of stakeholders and little information?
Enough challenges to conquer: Who dares wins!
The next posts I will share my experiences and give you an insight in the life of an IAM-tester.
Tomorrow it's Monday again, mucho trabajo!!
