Abstract
A method and technique for identity service management in limited connectivity environments is disclosed. The technique includes: providing a mediator between an identity management service provider and managed endpoints of a computing environment, the mediator comprising adapters for interfacing with the managed endpoints; extracting account data, by the mediator, from the managed endpoints; storing the extracted data, by the mediator, when a direct connection between the mediator and the identity management service provider is unavailable; and exporting the stored data to the identity management service provider in response to a direct connection between the mediator and the identity management service provider becoming available.
