<p dir="ltr">Hi Jon, <br>
Main question is what do you want to achievr. :<br>
- do you want to manage existing users repositories across applications (with all those audits and reconciliations) - hence identity management? <br>
- or do you want to manage realtime access of users to the applications (with on the fly evaluation of risk profile etc) - hence access management?</p>
<p dir="ltr">MidPoint is very strong and suitable for the first case. For second case, there are others systems in IAM ecosystem, like Apereo's CAS</p>
