 Preface

These Release Notes contain information for the following products that was not available when the IBM Security Identity Server manuals were printed:

Adapter Features and Purpose

 

The IBM Security Identity Adapter for SAP HANA Database is designed to create and manage accounts on SAP HANA Database. The adapter runs in "agentless" mode and communicates using JDBC to the HANA Database being managed.

IBM recommends the installation of this Adapter (and the prerequisite IBM Security Directory Integrator) on each node of an IBM Security Identity Server WAS cluster. A single copy of the adapter can handle multiple IBM Security Identity Server Services. The deployment configuration is based, in part, on the topology of your network domain, but the primary factor is the planned structure of your IBM Security Identity Server Provisioning Policies and Approval Workflow process. Please refer to the IBM Knowledge Center for a discussion of these topics.

The IBM Security Identity Server Adapters are powerful tools that require Administrator Level authority. Adapters operate much like a human system administrator, creating accounts, permissions and home directories. Operations requested from the IBM Security Identity Server will fail if the Adapter is not given sufficient authority to perform the requested task. IBM recommends that this Adapter run with administrative (SYSTEM) permissions.
