Course Overview
The ForgeRock Identity Management Core Concepts (IDM-400) course by ForgeRock is designed for system integrators, consultants, and administrators seeking to master identity lifecycle management within Customer Identity and Access Management (CIAM) solutions. This comprehensive training prepares learners for the ForgeRock Certified IDM Specialist certification exam, which validates expertise in deploying and managing ForgeRock® Identity Management (IDM). With over 15 permanent UK job postings citing ForgeRock in mid-2026 and global IAM market growth projected at 15.53% annually through 2030, demand for skilled professionals remains strong. The course equips participants with foundational skills to implement IDM as part of the broader ForgeRock Identity Platform™, focusing on real-world CIAM use cases like user self-service, registration, and identity synchronization.
Participants engage with core technologies including ForgeRock IDM, Access Management (AM), Directory Services (DS), OpenICF connectors, REST APIs, and the Activiti workflow engine. Through hands-on labs conducted in a Linux-based environment, students install IDM, configure user self-registration with custom fields, integrate social identity providers like Google and Facebook, and delegate authentication to AM. A key project involves modeling relationships between users and devices, creating sync mappings, and provisioning identities across external resources using LiveSync. Learners also build and deploy workflows using Activiti Designer to automate processes such as family account creation, gaining practical experience in workflow modeling, form integration, and task management via both the Admin UI and REST interfaces.
This course directly prepares candidates for the ForgeRock Certified IDM Specialist credential, recognized across enterprise security environments for validating hands-on IDM proficiency. Certified professionals can pursue roles with median salaries reaching £92,500 in the UK and up to $165,000 in senior IAM architect positions in the U.S. Koenig Solutions enhances learning with Guaranteed-to-Run batches and access to official ForgeRock courseware, ensuring structured, instructor-led mastery of the curriculum.
