Release notes - IBM® Security Windows Local Account (WinLocal) Adapter
10.0.5
IBM Security WinLocal Adapter 10.0.5 is available. Compatibility, installation, and other getting-started issues are addressed.
Welcome to the IBM Security Windows Local Account (WinLocal) Adapter.
These Release Notes contain information for the following products that was not available when the IBM Security Identity Manager manuals were printed:
BM Security Windows Local Account Adapter Installation and Configuration Guide.
The Windows Local Account Adapter is designed to create and manage local accounts on Windows Operating Systems. The adapter runs in agentless or agent mode. The agent can be installed on system other than the system being managed. Refer to the "Installation and Configuration Guide" for remotely managing Windows Local account.
The deployment configuration is based, in part, on the topology of your network domain, but the primary factor is the planned structure of your Identity Manager Provisioning Policies and Approval Workflow process. Please refer to the Identity Manager Information Center for a discussion of these topics.
The Identity 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 Identity 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.
Review and agree to the terms of the IBM Verify License prior to using this product. The license can be viewed from the "license" folder included in the product package.
The ability to manage service groups is a feature introduced prior to IBM Security Identity Manager 7.0. By service groups, Service Group is referring to any logical entity that can group accounts together on the managed resource.
Managing service groups implies the following:
· Create service groups on the managed resource.
· Modify attribute of a service group.
· Delete a service group.
· Note that service group name change is not supported in TIM 6.0 release.
· The Windows Local adapter supports service group management.

Class 3 Certificates Class 3 secure server CA-G2 certs are not written properly to "DamlCACerts.pem" file through CertTool.exe Utility. The certificate data is written twice between BEGIN CERTIFICATE and END CERTIFICATE. Work around: To correct this issue, please follow the below steps and edit “DamlCACerts.pem" file present in Adapter installation path>\data" folder.
Step 1. Start the CertTool utility
Step 2. Import the class 3 CA certificate by using “F" option from the main menu of CertTool Utility.
Step 3. Once the class 3 CA certificate is successfully installed, open “DamlCACerts.pem" file stored in the Adapter installed path>\data" folder using text editor.
Step 4. Delete the class 3 CA certificate data (i.e. content between BEGIN CERTIFICATE and END CERTIFICATE) from “DamlCACerts.pem".
Step 5. Open class 3 CA certificate file using text editor and copy the certificate data (between the BEGIN CERTIFICATE and END CERTIFICATE)
Step 6. Paste the certificate data to “DamlCACerts.pem" file between the BEGIN CERTIFICATE and END CERTIFICATE lines of same class 3 CA Certificate. If more than one class 3 certificates are installed then you can identify the certificate using issuer and subject data.
Step 7. Save ï”DamlCACerts.pem" file.
Step 8. To verify the “DamlCACerts.pem" file is edited properly, display certificate information by using option “E" from the main menu of CertTool Utility.
Please note that this issue is seen after installing class 3 CA certificate. If you correct the “DamlCACerts.pem" and then install another class 3 CA certificate, the newly installed class 3 CA certificate will show same issue. This issue is also seen when you delete any certificate using option "G" from the main menu of CertTool utility. The delete option will affect all remaining class 3 CA certificate and you have to follow step 1 to 8 to correct the “DamlCACerts.pem" file.

See the IBM Security Identity Manager Windows Local Account Adapter Installation and Configuration Guide for detailed instructions.
The following
corrections to the Installation Guide apply to this release:
1. Under Configuring > configuring the adapter > modifying protocol
settings > Step 5 (Table 1)
|
M |
Displays the following prompt: Note: It is recommended to use TLS 1.2 for all SSL communications. Please refer Enabling TLS 1.2 in Identity Manager (ISIM/IGI/ISPIM) |
Table 7. Options for the DAML
protocol menu
New DAML protocol setting for TLS level
The DAML protocol settings
now include a value called MIN_TLS_LEVEL. The setting supersedes the values
DISALBE_SSLV3 and DISABLE_TLS10. The valid settings for this value are:
0 No restrictions.� This setting
allows SSLV3 connections which are known to have vulnerabilities.
1.0 TLS 1.0 and higher are supported
1.1 TLS 1.1 and higher are supported
1.2 TLS 1.2 and higher are supported
1.3 TLS 1.3 and higher are supported
For backward
compatibility, if MIN_TLS_LEVEL is not set, it will be set at startup based on
the settings of DISABLE_SSLV3 and DISABLE_TLS10.
2. Under Configuring > configuring the adapter
> modifying protocol configuration settings > Step 4
add the
following options:
L. DISABLE_SSLV3 TRUE ;
Disable SSLv3 and earlier
M.
DISABLE_TLS10 FALSE ;
Disable TLS 1.0 and earlier
3. Add the following configuration settings topic :
Enabling TLS 1.2 in Identity Manager
(ISIM/IGI/ISPIM):
After Setting up certificates in Identity Manager and Adapter, Enable TLS 1.2
by adding/modifying the following line in enRole.properties file in ISIM
(equivalent for ISPIM and IGI)
com.ibm.daml.jndi.DAMLContext.SSL_PROTOCOL=TLSv1.2
The following configuration notes apply to this
release:
None
