I'm working on a information architecture for a customer. The customer has contacts (customers) in their CRM Dynamics 2011 database who are allowed to log in to a Sharepoint customer portal (form based login) and may also login to a online custom archive tool (Oracle database), etc.
It seems so obvious; using FIM for extracting user profiles from CRM that are used in those various other tools.
Now I can't seem to find any specific information on how to connect these systems (Dynamics and FIM). Am I loosing something, or is a (for example) more common solution to connect these external systems directly to Dynamics CRM?
I found the Forefront Identity Manager Connector for WebServices, that should do the job? Isn't it? MS CRM has a Webservice for managing for example customers.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks a lot!
