Chapter 3: Installing
              Importing the adapter profile
              Please add below note to the end of the page based on the product
                            Note: (Below note is only for IBM Security Verify Governance Identity Manager)
                              There are three adapter profiles included in the PeopleSoft HR Feed Adapter distribution package: IdentityManager\BPPerson\PeopleSoftHRProfile.jar, IdentityManager\Person\PeopleSoftHRProfile.jar and ISVG\PeopleSoftHRProfile.jar.
                              The difference between the three profiles is that the IdentityManager\BPPerson\PeopleSoftHRProfile.jar and IdentityManager\Person\PeopleSoftHRProfile.jar can be only used with IBM Security Verify Governance Identity Manager instance whereas ISVG\PeopleSoftHRProfile.jar can only be used with IBM Security Verify Governance instance.
                              If Business Partner entity is in scope then IdentityManager\BPPerson\PeopleSoftHRProfile.jar should be used in IBM Security Verify Governance Identity Manager instance else IdentityManager\Person\PeopleSoftHRProfile.jar should be used. It is not possible for both IdentityManager\BPPerson\PeopleSoftHRProfile.jar and IdentityManager\Person\PeopleSoftHRProfile.jar profiles to exist in the same IBM Security Verify Governance Identity Manager instance.

                            Note: (Below note is only for IBM Security Verify Governance)
                              There are three adapter profiles included in the PeopleSoft HR Feed Adapter distribution package: IdentityManager\BPPerson\PeopleSoftHRProfile.jar, IdentityManager\Person\PeopleSoftHRProfile.jar and ISVG\PeopleSoftHRProfile.jar.
                              The difference between the three profiles is that the IdentityManager\BPPerson\PeopleSoftHRProfile.jar and IdentityManager\Person\PeopleSoftHRProfile.jar can be only used with IBM Security Verify Governance Identity Manager instance whereas ISVG\PeopleSoftHRProfile.jar can only be used with IBM Security Verify Governance instance.
                              For IBM Security Verify Governance instance IdentityManager\BPPerson\PeopleSoftHRProfile.jar and IdentityManager\Person\PeopleSoftHRProfile.jar profiles should not be used.

Chapter 4: Upgrading
              No updates for the current release

Chapter 5: Configuring
              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.
                            #####################
                            -
                            com.ibm.di.SSLProtocols=TLSv1,TLSv1.1,TLSv1.2
                            com.ibm.di.SSLServerProtocols=TLSv1,TLSv1.1,TLSv1.2
                            com.ibm.jsse2.overrideDefaultProtocol=TLSv1
                            com.ibm.jsse2.overrideDefaultTLS=true
                            #####################

              Customizing the adapter
                            The adapters can be customized or extended or both. The type and method of this customization varies depending on the adapter.
                            Customizing and extending adapters requires a number of skills. The developer must be familiar with the following concepts and skills:

                            - IBM Security Verify Governance Identity Manager administration
                            - IBM Security Verify Governance administration
                            - IBM Security Directory Integrator management
                            - Security Directory Integrator Assembly Line development
                            - LDAP schema management
                            - Working knowledge of Java™ scripting language
                            - Working knowledge of LDAP object classes and attributes
                            - Working knowledge of XML document structure

                            Note: If the customization requires a new Security Directory Integrator connector, the developer must also be familiar with Security Directory Integrator connector development and working knowledge of Java programming language.

                            Support for custom adapters
                                          The integration to IBM Security Verify Governance servers "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.
