SharePoint and ILM integration

As more and more companies standardize intranet/extranet portal platforms onto SharePoint 2007 (MOSS 2007), the need to integrate identity-related needs will be asked of the ILM Administrator. It makes sense...MOSS 2007 is the front-end for business communication, web-based collaboration, information-sharing, and workflow capabilities. As many already know, ILM2 will have a WSS front-end; therefore tying it's built-in functionality into your existing intranet is a no brainer...

Just in case you hadn't seen this, Alex Tcherniakhovski has something that may provide you insight for integration (or at least give you a base to work with). At most, these should provide a good template for creating an XMA that leverages one of the out-of-box (or custom) web services from MOSS 2007.
