Tensile strength is a limit state of tensile stress that leads to tensile failure in one of two manners: 1  Ductile failure - Yield as the first stage of failure, some hardening in the second stage and breakage after a possible neck formation. 2  Brittle failure - Sudden breaking in two or more pieces at a low stress state.
Forefront Identity Manager (FIM), formerly known as Microsoft Identity Integration Server (MIIS), is used to facilitate synchronization between multiple endpoints. For Example: (FIM sits between Active Directory and User Profile Service Application and is responsible for syncing changes between both endpoints.
Part of the Microsoft Identity and Access Management platform product line, FIM superseded Microsoft Identity Lifecycle Manager (ILM), and was known as ILM 2 during development. ILM 2007 was created by merging Microsoft Identity Integration Server 2003 (MIIS) and Certificate Lifecycle Manager (CLM). FIM 2010 utilizes Windows Workflow Foundation concepts, using transactional workflows to manage and propagate changes to a user's state-based identity.
