Set up an identity management server: SQL Server 2016 or 2017

Note

Sql Server 2017 setup procedure does not differ from Sql Server 2016 setup procedure.

Note

This walkthrough uses sample names and values from a company called Contoso. Replace these with your own. For example:

  • Domain controller name - corpdc
  • Domain name - contoso
  • MIM Service Server name - corpservice
  • MIM Sync Server name - corpsync
  • SQL Server name - corpsql
  • Password - Replace with your own strong password

Important

MIM 2016 SP2 supports SQL AlwaysOn Availability Group (AoAG) listeners with RegisterAllProvidersIP option set to 0, meaning that SQL Server AoAG cross-subnet failover is not currently supported.

Important

SQL Transparent Data Encryption is supported by MIM Synchronization Service and MIM Service and Portal components with MIM SP2 or later builds.
