The basis of the taking the certification shouldn't be tangibly measured on the average CISSP Certification Salary after the exam, but it should be more focused on constructing your career strategically. That said, people often use their salary as a measuring metric and being a CISSP certified individual certainly supports that salary boost.

Absolutely!
Due to the constant pressure of the media regarding exposures and security breaches, businesses are constantly wary and willing to invest because they don't want to be the next Sony.

Though within 2013, I had yet to notice in a immediate growth of demands for IT security professionals. Comparatively with other sectors, the growth has remained fairly consistant for IT professionals. Because it is now globally recognized, it will give you a good foundation as a IT security professional

HOW TO provision AD group membership from OpenIDM

For what I see, there's not too many supportive documentations out there that will demonstrate how provision AD group membership with the ICF connector using OpenIDM. The use of the special ldapGroups attribute is not explained anywhere in the Integrators guides to to the date of this blog. This quick blog identifies the tasks required to provision AD group membership from OpenIDM to AD using the LDAP ICF connector. However this doesn't really explain what ldapGroups actually does and there's no real worked example of how to go from an Assignment to ldapGroups to an assigned group in AD. I wrote up a wiki article for my own reference: AD group memberships automatically to users This is just my view, others may disagree, but I think the implementation experience could be improved with some more documentation and a more detailed example here.
