Welcome to the IBM Security Verify Governance Adapter for IBM Security Verify Privilege Vault

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

• IBM Security Verify Governance adapter for IBM Security Verify Privilege Vault (IBM Security Secret Server and for Thycotic Secret Server) Installation and Configuration Guide

Adapter Features and Purpose

The SDI-based IBM Security Verify Governance Adapter for IBM Security Verify Privilege Vault Server is designed to reconcile users, groups, folders and secrets and manage user entitlements on IBM Security Verify Privilege Vault Server. It also supports user management tasks such as account add, modify, suspend, restore and password change.

The adapter runs in "agentless" mode and communicates using HTTPS protocol.

The IBM Verify Governance Adapters are powerful tools that require Administrator Level authority. Adapters operate much like a human system administrator, managing users, groups and permissions. Operations requested from the IBM Security Verify Governance server will fail if the adapter is not given sufficient authority to perform the requested task. IBM recommends that this adapter run with administrative permissions.
