'''Microsoft Identity Integration Server''' (MIIS) is an [[identity management]] (IdM) product offered by [[Microsoft]]. It is a service that aggregates identity-related information from multiple data-sources. The goal of MIIS is to provide organizations with a unified view of a user's/resources identity across the heterogeneous enterprise and provide methods to automate routine tasks.

MIIS manages information by retrieving identity information from the connected data sources and storing the information in the connector space as connector space objects or CSEntry objects. The CSEntry objects are then mapped to entries in the [[metaverse]] called metaverse objects or MVEntry objects. This architecture allows data from dissimilar connected data sources to be mapped to the same MVEntry object. All back-end data is stored inon Microsoft SQL Server.<ref>{{cite web|title=MIIS 2003 Overview|url=https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc708678%28WS.10%29.aspx|publisher=[[Microsoft]]|date=2006-08-14|accessdate=2009-10-27}}</ref>

For example, through the metaverse an organization's e-mail system can be linked to its human resources database, to the organization'sits [[Private branch exchange|PBX]] system toand any other data repositoryrepositories containing relevant user information. Each employee's attributes from the e-mail system and the human resources database are imported into the connector space through respective management agents. The e-mail system can then link to individual attributes from the employee entry, such as the employee telephone number. If an employee's telephone number changes, the new telephone number will automatically be propagated to the e-mail system.

One of the goals of the [[identity management]] is to establish and support authoritative sourcesources of information for every known attribute and to preserve data integrity according to predetermined business rules.

On IdM market of products MIIS stands out by implementing state-based architecture. The majority of competitors are offering transaction-based products. Due to this approach MIIS requires no software/drivers/agents/shims beingto be installed on the target system.
