Adapter Features and Purpose

The IBM Security Verify Governance Admin Realm Adapter is designed to create and manage User Accounts on the IBM Security Verify Governance Admin Realm platform. The adapter runs in "agentless" mode and communicates using REST API to the systems being managed. 

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 - Governance server will fail if the Adapter is not given sufficient authority to perform the requested task.

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

Corrections to Installation Guide

                  No updates for the current release

 

Chapter 2: Planning
                  -> Prerequisites

                Directory Integrator:
                Update the description as below:

                IBM Security Directory Integrator, consult the release notes for the currently supported versions

 

Chapter 3: Installing
                 

-> Installing in the Verify Governance Virtual Appliance
( Please add this new section at knowledge centre guide of ISVG (under Installing > Installing in the Verify Governance Virtual Appliance) for ISVG Admin Realm Adapter to describe installation procedure of adapter in Verify Governance Virtual Appliance: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/svgaa?topic=ldap-installing-in-virtual-appliance. Please add this below note as well after adding the description.)


Note: While uploading the Adapter package, you may receive System Error: A file included in the SDI Adapter zip already exists on the system and the Server Message log under Appliance tab of VA will have a reference to error com.ibm.identity.sdi.SDIManagementService E File ibm.com_IBM_Security_Verify_Governance_xxxx.swidtag found in the adapter zip at location ILMT-Tags/ already exists in system. This is because, you can install the same swidtags only once. So, if another adapter of the same type is installed, remove the swidtags.
            The ibm.com_IBM_Security_Verify_Governance_Enterprise-xxxx.swidtag file is common to all adapters. In addition to the common swidtag file, an application adapter needs ibm.com_IBM_Security_Verify_Governance_Application_Adapters-xxxx.swidtag file and an infra adapter needs ibm.com_IBM_Security_Verify_Governance_Lifecycle-xxxx.swidtag and ibm.com_IBM_Security_Verify_Governance_Compliance-xxxx.swidtag files. So, if an application adapter is already installed and this is an infra adapter, then only install the infra-specific swidtags and the other way around. Please visit 
IBM Security Verify Governance Adapters v10.x link to identify the adapter type of the installed adapters.

 

Chapter 4: Upgrading
        -> Upgrading the adapter binaries or connector
         (Please Add Upgrading the adapter binaries or connector section at Upgrading > Upgrading the adapter binaries or connector)

         - Take backup of adapter binaries or connector

                  Procedure:

                  Take backup of below files before performing upgrade:

                              <SDI-HOME>/jars/connectors/ ISVGAdmRealmConnector.jar

 

                  Note: Stop the dispatcher service before the upgrading the connector and start it again after the upgrade is complete.

 

          - Upgrade adapter binaries or connector Procedure:
           Copy ISVGAdmRealmConnector.jar from the adapter package to the <SDI-HOME>/jars/connectors directory

 

          - Upgrading the adapter profile

            Read the adapter Release Notes for any specific instructions before you import a new adapter profile.

 

           There is ISVGAdmRealmConnector.jar included in the IBM Security Verify Governance Admin Realm Adapter distribution package.

 

            Note: Restart the Dispatcher service after importing the profile. Restarting the Dispatcher clears the assembly lines cache and ensures that the dispatcher runs the assembly lines from the updated adapter profile.
