Welcome to the IBM Security Verify Governance Adapter for Broadcom ACF2.
These
Release Notes contain information for the following products that was
not available when the IBM Security Verify server manuals were
created:

IBM Security Verify Identity Broadcom ACF2 for z/OS Adapter Installation and Configuration Guide
The ACF2 for z/OS Adapter is designed to create and manage ACF2 for z/OS accounts. The adapter runs in ”agent” mode and must be installed on z/OS. One adapter is installed per ACF2 installation..
The IBM Security Verify Governance 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 Verify server will fail if the adapter is not given sufficient authority to perform the requested task. IBM recommends that this adapter run with administrative permissions.
Review and agree to the terms of the IBM Security Verify product license prior to using this product. The license can be viewed from the "license" folder included in the product package.

The adapter is designed to read its configuration file on start up. If the configuration file is not found, the adapter will create a new default configuration file. The creation of this configuration file is not an event that is written to the adapter log file. Please ensure TCP/IP is fully initialized and the file systems are mounted before starting the adapter. Under rare conditions where prerequisites for startup have not been met, the adapter may overwrite a customer's configuration file with a new default configuration file. |
|
N/A |
This version of the adapter does not support the following data segments/ user profile records:
|
|
N/A |
This version of the adapter does not support multi-value fields and/or partial fields in the @HEADER and/or @UID string definitions.
|
See your products specific ACF2 Adapter Installation and Configuration Guide for detailed instructions.
ADK version 6.04 and higher offer a DAML PROTOCOL setting that allows you to disable TLSv1.0.
ADK version 6.0.3 and higher no longer support SSLV3 and RC4 ciphers. The Verify server should be configured to use TLS 1.1 or higher. This is done by adding the $ITIM/data/enRole.properties parameter. For example:
com.ibm.daml.jndi.DAMLContext.SSL_PROTOCOL=TLSv1.1
Possible values are:
TLSv1.1 |
TLS v1.1 protocol (defined by RFC 4346). |
TLSv1.2 |
TLS v1.2 protocol (defined by RFC 5246). |

add:
If specific fields that belong to the ACFFDR UI or HEADER are not returned during a filtered reconciliation, it is possible that the adapter does not run APF authorized.
Validate if the adapter binaries and libraries are APF authorized in the <adapter_readonly_home>/bin and <adapter_readonly_home/lib> folders.
No updates for the current release
Before you start the adapter, ensure that TCP/IP is active.
The ACF2 adapter requires one process per thread plus 8. The default settings are for 3 threads for each of the four types or requests which is a maximum of 12 active threads which equates to 20 processes (12 + 8). This is below the default MAXUSERPROC value of 25. If you change the maximum thread count variables via agentCfg then you might need to increase the MAXUSERPROC parameter in the parmlib member BPXPRMxx.
The IBM Security Verify Governance Adapters can be customized and/or extended. The type and method of this customization may vary from adapter to adapter.
Customizing and extending adapters requires a number of additional skills. The developer must be familiar with the following concepts and skills prior to beginning the modifications:
LDAP schema management
Working knowledge of scripting language appropriate for the installation platform
Working knowledge of LDAP object classes and attributes
Working knowledge of XML document structure
Note: This adapter supports customization only through the use of pre-Exec and post-Exec scripting. The ACF2 for z/OS adapter has REXX scripting options. Please see the ACF2 adapter for z/OS Installation and Configuration guide for additional details.
The integration to the IBM Security Verify server – the adapter framework – is supported. However, IBM does not support the customizations, scripts, or other modifications. If you experience a problem with a customized adapter, IBM Support may require the problem to be demonstrated on the GA version of the adapter before a case is opened.
Please check out the latest documentation on the IBM Knowledge Center.
