Microsoft is preparing a spring release for an identity management infrastructure tool aimed at simplifying credential administration across the enterprise, officials said this week at the RSA Conference in San Francisco.

Identity Lifecycle Manager 2007, which is set to ship in May, builds on the metadirectory and user provisioning capabilities in the existing Microsoft Identity Integration Server 2003, adding support for managing credentials such as certificates and smart cards, company statements said.
