Adapter Features and Purpose

The IBM Security Verify Adapter for RSA Authentication Manager is designed to create and manage accounts user accounts in the RSA Authentication Manager server. The adapter runs in "agentless" mode and communicates with the RSA Authentication Manager through Enterprise Java Beans (EJBs).

IBM recommends this adapter (and the prerequisite Security Directory Integrator) be installed on each node of an IBM Security Verify Server WebSphere cluster. A single copy of the adapter can handle multiple IBM Security Verify 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 Verify Server Provisioning Policies and Approval Workflow process. Please refer to IBM Security Verify Adapters Knowledge Center for a discussion of these topics.

IBM Security Verify 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 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 (root) permissions.

License Agreement

Review and agree to the terms of the IBM Security Verify Adapter License prior to using this product. The license can be viewed from the "license" folder included in the product package.

Known Issues

Internal#	APAR#	Case# / Description
		Adapter fails to modify On Demand Authentication Attributes. If an account is enabled for On Demand Authentication(ODA), and a modify operation is performed, to update other ODA attributes (for e.g. Delivery Method, SMS Destination Address etc.), the adapter fails. Workaround to update ODA attributes: -Perform modify operation to disable the account for ODA. -Modify account again to enable ODA with new values. The issue will be fixed in future release.
		Wrong status returned during filtered recon When a filtered recon is executed using a filter like (eruid=name) and "name" is not found in the target resource, the adapter returns a FAILURE status. The adapter should return a SUCCESS status so that IBM Security Identity Manager will remove the "name" service account from its datastore. This issue will be fixed in a future release.
		Object Class Violation Error on SendOnly Attributes If the RSA Authentication Manager adapter fails to set one or more send-only attributes · erRsaAmT1ClearSecurIDPin · erRsaAmT2ClearSecurIDPin · erRsaAmT3ClearSecurIDPin · erServicePwd1 · erServicePwd2 · erServicePwd3 · erRsaAmT1RplNextToken · erRsaAmT2RplNextToken · erRsaAmT3RplNextToken on the RSA Authentication Manager server during an ADD or MODIFY operation, then the adapter will return the attribute in the failed attribute list and some versions of the IBM Security Identity Manager will generate an "Object Class Violation" error. This is an IBM Security Identity Manager server defect and will be addressed in a future server fix pack.

Known Limitations

Internal#

APAR#

Case# / Description

RSA Authentication Manager Adapter impacts on TDI and other adapters

For the adapter to run correctly, several specific jar files are needed in the runtime environment. Some of these jars interfere with the operation of other adapters or with certain features of the Tivoli Directory Integrator (TDI). In particular,

· The TDI 7.1.1 or SDI 7.2 REST service will not run when the RSA Authentication Manager 8.0 or 8.1 Adapter is installed and configured.

· Do not install the RSA Authentication Manager Adapter in the same TDI environment with any of the following adapters: BlackBerry Enterprise Server, Google Apps or Salesforce.

No support for 2-way SSL or SOAP communication

The adapter does not support two-way SSL communication with the RSA Authentication Manager server. The adapter also does not support the SOAP protocol when communicating with the RSA Authentication Manager server.

Refer to the ‘IBM Security Verify Adapter Development and Customization Guide’

Support for Customized Adapters

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 PMR is opened.
