Configuring provisioning for Linux
This configuration provisioning guide provides the basic information that you need to install and configure the Linux® adapter. The adapter enables connectivity between the IBM® Verify server and a system that runs the Linux server.
Before you begin
Note: Linux provisioning is not supported for trial subscriptions.
- Make sure Security Directory Integrator (SDI) v7.2 (PN CJ30YML) is installed for your operating
system. See https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSIGMP_1.0.0/com.ibm.itim_pim.doc/dispatcher/install_config/dispatcher_html_mstr.htm.
For more information, see IBM Security Directory Integrator Version 7.2 Download Document.Table 1. SDI part numbers The eAssembly and part numbers for Security Directory Integrator
eAssembly number Operating system eImage number CJ30YML AIX® CIS7MML Linux CIS7TML Solaris CIS7UML Windows™ CIS7QML Note: The default document is for AIX. Scroll down to step 3 to select your operating system. - Install and configure Security Directory IBM Security® Verify Adapter RMI Integrator dispatcher for Security Directory Integrator v7.2 (PN CC7ZMML). See https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/ibm-security-identity-adapters-v7x and SDI Dispatcher Installation and Configuration.
- Onboard Linux application. See, Onboarding the Linux Application.
About this task
Provisioning provides the following features.
- Create new users
- New users that are created through IBM Verify are also created in the Linux application.
- Delete users
- Deactivating the user or disabling the user's access to the application through Verify deletes the user in the Linux application.
- Modify user profile
- Updates made to the user's profile through Verify are pushed to the Linux application.
- User suspend and restore
- Suspending a user through Verify deactivates the user and restoring the user through Verify activates the user in the Linux application.
- User synchronization and remediation
- Synchronization fetches all the Linux application users, creates the users on Verify, and according to the remediation policy, modifies the attributes. Group synchronization fetches all the target application groups in Verify.
- Fine grained entitlement
- Fine grained entitlement is supported for the Linux application. Synchronization fetches all Linux application groups. Users can be added to or removed from groups.
