Creating a user information source

Use the UISConfigUtil utility to create a user information source.

Before you begin

Before you create a user information source, you must install and configure your Tivoli® Directory Integrator server. For more information, see Configuring the Tivoli Directory Integrator Server.

About this task

When you create a user information source, you must identify the property values required to configure the user information source. The following table describes the supported property values:

Table 1. Supported user interface property values
Property Description
tdiserver Defines the host name of the Tivoli Directory Integrator server.
tdiport Defines the listening port for the HTTP connector on the Tivoli Directory Integrator server.
hostname Defines the host name of the user information source host.
port Defines the listening port for the Identity and Access Management registry on the user information host.
username Defines the user name that IBM QRadar SIEM and use to authenticate to the Identity and Access Management registry.
password Defines the password that is required to authenticate to the Identity and Access Management registry.
searchbase Defines the base DN.
Note: All users that are referenced in all groups must be found in a search from the searchbase.
search filter Defines the search filter that is required to filter the groups that are retrieved from the Identity and Access Management registry.

Procedure

  1. Using SSH, log in to your IBM QRadar Console as the root user.
    1. User name: root
    2. Password: <password>
  2. To add a user information source, type the following command: UISConfigUtil.sh add <name> -t <AD|ISAM|ISIM|ISFIM> [-d description] [-p prop1=value1,prop2=value2...,propn=valuen]
    Where:
    • <name> Is the name of the user information source you want to add.
    • <AD|ISAM|ISIM|ISFIM> Indicates the user information source type.
    • [-d description] Is a description of the user information source. This parameter is optional.
    • [-p prop1=value1,prop2=value2,...,propn=valuen] Identifies the property values required for the user information source. For more information about the supported parameters, see Creating a user information source.
    For example: 
    • /UISConfigUtil.sh add "UIS_ISIM" -t ISIM -d "UIS for ISIM" -p 
"tdiserver=nc9053113023.tivlab.austin.ibm.com,tdiport=8080,
hostname=vmibm7094.ottawa.ibm.com,port=389,
username=cn=root,password=password,\"searchbase=ou=org,DC=COM\",\
"searchfilter=(|(objectClass=erPersonItem)(objectClass=erBPPersonItem)
(objectClass=erSystemUser))\""
