Preface

Welcome to the IBM Security Verify Governance Adapter for DB2.

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

 

Adapter Features and Purpose

 

The DB2 Adapter is designed to create and manage user accounts on a DB2 Universal Database. The adapter runs in "agentless" mode and communicates using JDBC to system being managed.

 

IBM recommends the installation of this Adapter (and the prerequisite IBM Security Directory Integrator) on each node of an IBM Security Verify Governance Identity Manager WAS cluster. A single copy of the adapter can handle multiple IBM Security Verify Governance Identity Manager 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 Governance Identity Manager Provisioning Policies and Approval Workflow process. Please refer to the IBM Security Verify Governance Identity Manager Documentation Center for a discussion of these topics.

 

The IBM Security Verify Governance Manager 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 Manager 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.

There is known issue with IGI for handling canonical values for multivalued attributes. If the displayed value and value to be sent to the resource are different then IGI is not able to resolve it correctly.

As a workaround for this adapter, the displayed values and actual values for the database privilege attribute have been made same. Meaning of the displayed values is given below -

 

CONNECT = Connect to database

CREATETAB = Create tables

BINDADD = Create packages

CREATE_NOT_FENCED_ROUTINE = Register routines ...

DBADM = Database administrator authority

IMPLICIT_SCHEMA = Create schemas implicitly

LOAD = Access to the load utility

CREATE_EXTERNAL_ROUTINE = Create external routines

QUIESCE_CONNECT = Connect to quiesced database

SECADM = Security administrator authority

 

#For Version 10.1 and above

ACCESSCTRL = Access control authority

DATAACCESS = Data access authority

EXPLAIN = Explain statement authority

SQLADM = Manage statement execution authority

WLMADM = Manage workloads authority
