Configuring provisioning for DB2

This configuration provisioning guide provides the basic information that is needed to install and configure the DB2® adapter. The adapter enables connectivity between the IBM® Security Verify server and a system that runs the directory server.

Before you begin

Note: DB2 provisioning is not supported for trial subscriptions.
  1. Make sure Security Directory Integrator (SDI) v7.2 (PN CJ30YML) is installed for your operating system. See Dispatcher Installation and Configuration Guide for more details.
    Table 1. SDI part numbers
    eAssembly number Operating system eImage number
    CJ30YML AIX® CIS7MML
    Linux® CIS7TML
    Solaris CIS7UML
    Windows CIS7QML
    For more information, see IBM Security Directory Integrator Version 7.2 Download Document.
    Note: The default document is for AIX. Scroll down to step 3 to select your operating system.
  2. Install and configure Security Directory IBM Security Verify Adapter RMI Integrator dispatcher for Security Directory Integrator v7.2 (PN CC7ZMML). See IBM Security Identity Adapters v7.x and SDI Dispatcher Installation and Configuration.
  3. Onboard DB2 application. See, Onboarding the DB2 Application.

About this task

Provisioning provides the following features.

Create new users
New users that are created through IBM Security Verify are also created in the DB2 application.
Delete users
Deactivating the user or disabling the user's access to the application through IBM Security Verify deletes the user in the DB2 application.
Modify user profile
Updates made to the user's profile through IBM Security Verify are pushed to the DB2 application.
User suspend and restore
Suspending a user through IBM Security Verify deactivates the user and restoring the user through IBM Security® Verify activates the user in the DB2 application.
User synchronization and remediation
Synchronization fetches all the DB2 application users, creates the users on IBM Security Verify, and according to the remediation policy, modifies the attributes. Group synchronization fetches all the target application groups in IBM Security Verify.
Fine grained entitlement
Fine grained entitlement is supported for the DB2 application. Synchronization fetches all DB2 application groups. Users can be added to or removed from groups.
