Soooo, where were we?....another key benefit of FIM-CM, is that the system can provide detailed reports on your smartcard deployment. FIM-CM provides 3 types of reports that are really key in a smartcard deployment:
· Summary Reports - graphical summary of certificate lifecycle usage information
· Detailed Reports - granular information on certificate / smart card lifecycle usage
· Settings Reports - configuration and settings of certificate or profile templates
Reports help you keep track of what, who, when and where… smart card configuration reports, smart card deployment and tracking reports. For example, let’s say you want to find out who has been provisioned with a smart card for login access, what is their certificate usage, when are they due to expire? All these questions can be easy answered with the reporting capabilities of FIM-CM…
BTW, all certificate lifecycle activity logs and auditing information is stored in SQL Server repository if you really have a need for any custom reports, they can be pretty easily developed using SQL Server Report Manager.
So as “they” say knowing and keeping track and constantly measuring is a key way to ensure success…
