Microsoft Corp. finally placed a definitive stake in the lucrative identity management market Wednesday by unveiling a revamped version of its Meta Directory product, dubbed Microsoft Identity Integration Server 2003.

In conjunction with its new offering, Microsoft also introduced "Identity and Access Management Solution Accelerator," a new set of prescriptive guidelines created with Pricewaterhouse Coopers LLP to help customers build and test identity management infrastructures. Partnerships with Oblix Inc. and OpenNetworks Technologies Inc. will help extend Microsoft's reach to cross-platform levels as well.

Microsoft Identity Integration Server (MIIS) improves upon the software giant's Meta Directory Server through the addition of new features including automated account provisioning, the synchronization of identity information, and Web-based self-service password management capabilities, said Michael Stevenson, lead product manager for Windows Server Division for Microsoft in Redmond, Washington.

As part of its fledgling identity management strategy, Microsoft rolled out new offerings for Windows Server 2003, which will appear by the end of the third quarter.
