The process of creating user accounts and permissions for employees on a diverse array of systems can potentially consume much of an IT department's time and resources. In this tutorial, you'll learn how IBM Tivoli Identity Manager, working in conjunction with other Tivoli products, can help streamline this user provisioning process. You'll build a sample application that automatically creates user accounts with appropriate permissions based on data entered into a human resources database. The resulting environment also helps the establishment of single sign-on authentication for the newly provisioned users.

Prerequisites

Before beginning this tutorial you should be well versed in Tivoli Access Manager installation and configuration, Tivoli Identity Manager installation, basic JavaScript coding, and TIM agent installation and configuration.


System requirements

To implement the sample application as demonstrated in this tutorial you'll need systems running a variety of components:

  • A client machine hosting IBM Directory Server and IBM Directory Integrator, the software that provides the HR data feed to the TIM infrastructure.
  • You'll also need the IBM Tivoli Identity Manager infrastructure itself, which includes:
    • IBM WebSphere and IBM WebSphere MQ
    • Tivoli Access Manager 4.1 Agent
    • Tivoli Access Manager Infrastructure. This includes IBM Tivoli Access Manager Base and Policy Server and IBM Tivoli Access Manager WebSEAL.
