Welcome to the IBM Security Verify Governance for Command Line Interface (CLIx) Adapter.
These Release Notes contain information for the following products that was not available when the IBM Security Verify Governance manuals were printed:
· CLIx Adapter Installation and Configuration Guide
The Command Line Interface (CLIx) adapter is an IBM Identity Manager adapter
designed primarily for applications and resources that do offer a programmable
API. Without an API to the managed resource, an adapter developer is forced to
issues command lines from the Java code to accomplish the required user
management tasks.
Built on the IBM Security Directory Integrator framework, the CLI adapter provides all the programming modules needed by an adapter: IBM Security Directory Integrator connector and assembly lines. Instead of calling a set of APIs to perform a specific operation (i.e. create account), the CLI adapter will execute a command script locally on the operating system where the adapter is running. The adapter will pass the attributes as parameters to the command script. The command will perform the requested operation (i.e. create account) and returns the status.
· The CLI adapter package provides a sample CLI profile and a complete set of command line batch files. The sample profile and command line batch files illustrate a fully functional adapter. It’s highly recommended that you review the content of the CLI Sample adapter. The CLI Sample adapter will be referenced throughout this document

Corrections to Installation Guide

None.
Configuration Notes
The following configuration notes apply to this release:
None.
Installing ILMT-Tags File
Before you begin:
The Dispatcher must be installed
Procedure:
Copy the files from ILMT-Tags folder to the specified location:
1. Windows: <SDI-HOME>\swidtag
2. UNIX/Linux: <SDI-HOME>/swidtag
The following design update is not included in accompanied white paper or the sample adapter and will be updated in the next release of the adapter.
Delete attribute values from ISIM: ‘Parsing the command line arguments’ section:
When an attribute value has the string NULL it implies that the value was deleted on the ISIM server. This is true for single and multiple valued attributes. For multiple valued attributes, if the command line contains the attribute name with a value of NULL, it means that all values have been deleted on the ISIM server.
For example:
CLIx\clix-add.bat -s:erSampleCmdServer ACME -s:erServiceUid admin -s:erPassword test -erUid johnd -erPassword changeme -erSampleFirstName John -erSampleLastName Doe -erSampleUserLocation NULL -erSampleMemberOf 101 -erSampleMemberOf 102 -erSampleMemberOf 103 -erSampleUserRole Develope
The value for attribute erSampleUserLocation is the string NULL. The clix-add.bat script must have logic to handle this scenario.
IBM Security Identity Server adapters can be customized and/or extended. The type and method of this customization may vary from adapter to adapter.
Enabling TLSv1.2 in Security Directory Integrator
Procedure:
1. Apply recommended fix packs and limited availability (LA) versions on the Security Directory Integrator. See Recommended fixes for IBM Tivoli Directory Integrator (TDI) & IBM Security Directory Integrator (SDI).
2. After applying the appropriate updates, modify the /solution.properties file by appending the following text to the bottom of the file:
#####################
# # Protocols to enforce SSL protocols in a SDI Server
# # Optional values for com.ibm.di.SSL* property (TLSv1, TLSv1.1, TLSv1.2). # # This can be a multi-valued comma separated property
# # Optional values for com.ibm.jsse2.overrideDefaultProtocol property (SSL_TLSv2, TLSv1,TLSv11,TLSv12).
# # This is a single value property.
#####################
Getting Started
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:
Note: If the customization requires a new IBM Security Directory Integrator connector, the developer must also be familiar with IBM Security Directory Integrator connector development and working knowledge of Java programming language.
IBM Security Identity Server Resources:
Check the "Training" section of the IBM Knowledge Center for links to training, publications, and demos.
IBM Security Directory Integrator Resources:
Check the "Training" section of the IBM Tivoli Directory Integrator Support web site for links to training, publications, and demos.
IBM Security Verify Governance Adapter Development:
Adapter Development Tool
The Adapter Development Tool, ADT, is a tool used by IBM Security Identity Server customers and consultants to create custom ISIM adapters. It reduces adapter delivery time by about 50% and it helps in the development of custom adapters. The Adapter development tool is available on the IBM Open Process Automation Library (OPAL).
Troubleshooting
Enabling DEBUG Logs on SDI Server
1. Stop the SDI Server process
Pre-7.2.0-ISS-SDI-FP0008
2. Edit the <SDI_Solution_Directory>/etc/log4j.properties
3. Modify the following line:
log4j.rootCategory=INFO, Default to log4j.rootCategory=DEBUG, Default
Post-7.2.0-ISS-SDI-FP0008
2. Edit the <SDI_Solution_Directory>/etc/log4j2.xml
3. Modify the following line:
<Root level="info"> to <Root level="debug">
4. Start the SDI Server process
5. Re-create the problem and collect the <SDI_Solution_Dir>/logs/ibmdi.log
Support for Customized Adapters
The integration to IBM Security Identity Manager 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.
