ACMA

Lithnet ACMA is a codeless rules engine for Microsoft Identity Manager (MIM) and Forefront Identity Manager (FIM). ACMA provides a means for performing powerful rules-based construction of objects and attributes without the need to write custom code.

ACMA is implemented as an extensible management agent (ECMA2.2), built upon a SQL Server database, and comes with a powerful UI-based rules editor and PowerShell extensions.
