Course Overview
TopProvide help to secure, centralized identity management services to coordinate user authentication and authorization with client systems, network services, and Windows domains.
Red Hat Security: Identity Management and Authentication (RH362) provides the skills to configure and manage Identity Management (IdM), the comprehensive identity management component bundled with Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
This course helps students to gain the skills with this technology most requested by customers.
Businesses will be able to integrate and centralize lifecycle management and security policy implementation and enforcement, and extend that consolidated management to additional enterprise configuration management products from the Red Hat portfolio, including Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform and Red Hat Satellite Server.
Some topics covered in this course are:
- central management and provisioning of user accounts
- design and installation of IdM server topologies
- operation of the integrated DNS and TLS Certificate Authority services
- management of two-factor authentication, smart card authentication, and operation as a single-sign on provider
- integration and management of two-way trusts with Active Directory
- troubleshooting and disaster recovery planning.
- Registration of Linux clients to IdM and operation in enterprise environments that use both Linux and Microsoft Windows clients and servers is discussed.
Note: Starting January 1, 2026, Red Hat introduces RHLS-Course — a flexible subscription model now included with this catalog offering. This replaces the previous direct virtual class enrollment from Global Knowledge.
