Create an instance of a target
from a target type, such as the Linux profile
or another adapter profile that you installed.
Before you begin
Depending on how your system administrator customized your system, you might not
have access to this task. To obtain access to this task or to have someone complete it for you,
contact your system administrator.
Before
you can create a target in IBM® Security Identity Governance and Intelligence, you must
create a target type. Alternatively, use one of the target types that
were automatically created when you installed Identity Governance and Intelligence. You
can create a target type by importing the adapter profile. Alternatively,
you can add new schema classes and attributes for the target to your
LDAP directory. Before you can create a target for an adapter, the
adapter must be installed, and the adapter profile must be created.
About this task
The target
name and description that you provide for each target are displayed
on the console. Therefore, it is important to provide values that
make sense to your users and administrators.
To create a target
instance, complete these steps:
Procedure
- On the Appliance Dashboard,
select Identity Governance and Intelligence Administration Console from
the Quick Links widget. The Administration Console is displayed.
- From the Administration Console, select Target
Administration. The Target Administration Console is
displayed.
- From the navigation tree, click Manage Targets. The Select a Target page is displayed.
- On the Select a Target page, click Create. The Create a Target wizard is displayed.
- On the Select the Type of Target page, select a target type and click
Next.
If the table contains multiple pages, you can do the following tasks:
- Click the arrow to go to the next page.
- Type the number of the page that you want to view and click Go.
- On General Information page, specify the values for the target
instance. The content of the General Information page depends on the type of target
that you are creating. The creation of some targets might require more steps. It is specific to the
profile (adapter). See the adapter's Installation and Configuration Guide for the more
information.
- On the Users and Groups page, which is displayed only for LDAP targets,
complete the required fields.
- On the Authentication page, which does not display for every target type,
complete the required fields.
- On the Dispatcher Attributes page, specify information about the
dispatcher attributes and click Next or OK. The Dispatcher Attributes page is displayed only for IBM Security Directory Integrator based targets.
- On the Status and Information page, view information about the adapter and
managed resource and click Next or Finish. The adapter must be running to obtain the information.
- Optional: On the Application Information page,
type a name and description for the application, and then click Finish.
- Optional: Click Test Connection to
validate that the data in the fields is correct, and then click Next or Finish. If the connection fails, contact the analyst who is responsible
for the computer on which the managed resource runs.
Results
A message is displayed, indicating that you successfully
created the target instance for a specific target type.
What to do next
Specify the account defaults for the target attributes. The required attributes are indicated by
an asterisk (*). Provisioning fails for required attributes that are not defined. For example, LDAP
requires the attributes Full name and Last name. For more
information, see Account defaults on a target.
Select another target task, or click Close.
