Overview

An adapter is an interface between a managed resource and the IBM® Security Identity server. The IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager Adapter provides connectivity between the IBM Security Identity server and the IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager server.

  • Modifying user accounts attributes
  • Suspending and restoring user accounts
  • Retrieving user accounts for the first time
  • Deleting user accounts
