When I heard about this at Lotusphere I instantly got excited. For a good rundown of what this is, read this guy’s blog entry (why retype something someone else did brilliantly, right?).
In short, ID vault synchronizes IDs and ensures that users who have multiple ID files out in the wild have the information (certificates, passwords, etc.) in the ID file synchronized. It also includes a number of tools that are designed to provide better administration of ID related activities (password resets and such).
For some reason, in my excitement I *thought* that it would also solve a problem we have where people use PCs in conference rooms and don’t have access to their ID. Sure, we’ve provided instructions about how to move it to a network share, but not everyone “gets” that. We could also store the ID on the network, but that doesn’t fix the issue for laptop users. I *thought* ID vault had something available that would help address that but apparently not.
If anyone knows of a clever way around that problem, I’d love to hear about it.
