I'm working on a information architecture for a client. The client has customers in their CRM Dynamics 2011 database who are allowed to login to their Sharepoint customer portal (form based login) and may also login to a online custom archive tool (Oracle database), etc.
It seems so obvious; using FIM (Forefront identity Manager) for extracting user profiles from CRM that are used in those various other tools.
Now I can't seem to find any specific information on how to connect these systems (Dynamics and FIM). Am I loosing something, or is a (for example) more common solution to connect these external systems directly to Dynamics CRM?
I found the Forefront Identity Manager Connector for WebServices, that should do the job? Isn't it? MS CRM has a Webservice for managing for example customers.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks a lot!

Dear Slowytech you are right but from above link we see that the Forefront Identity Manager Connector for WebServices is officially released by Microsoft and as indicated on Microsoft's Website it provides password management capabilities for WebServices enabled systems, such as ERP systems. So Microsoft has made it official to connect WebServices though they have not documented it specifically for CRM but as you see CRM is also WebServices enabled so it can make their point to use it as WeServices Connector for CRM WebServices as well.
Thanks Muhammad. I guess that will do the trick.
However, I'm still confused that this solution is undocumented.
You can download WebServiceConnector.msi from the following link:
If you can send the user provisioning data to FIM via it's webservices interface, or present the data in a SQL table, FIM would be able to read this data and then 'do its thing'.
