  • Microsoft Windows 10
  • Microsoft Windows 2016
  • Microsoft Windows 2019
Microsoft SQL Server
  • Microsoft SQL Server 2016
  • Microsoft SQL Server 2019

The system where the adapter is installed must have SQL connectivity to the system where the SQL Server is installed.

Multiple Sites and Servers A single SQL Server Adapter installation can be used by an organization with multiple MSSQL sites or multiple servers at an SQL site.
Network Connectivity TCP/IP network
System Administrator authority To complete the adapter installation procedure, you must have system administrator authority.
Identity server The following servers are supported:
  • IBM Security Verify Governance Identity Manager v10.0

About this task

Provisioning provides the following features.

Create new users
New users that are created through Verify are also created in the Microsoft SQL application.
Delete users
Deactivating the user or disabling the user's access to the application through Verify deletes the user in the Microsoft SQL application.
Modify user profile
Updates made to the user's profile through Verify are pushed to the Microsoft SQL application.
User suspends and restore
Suspending a user through Verify deactivates the user and restoring the user through Verify activates the user in the Microsoft SQL application.
User synchronization and remediation
Synchronization fetches all the Microsoft SQL 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 Microsoft SQL application. Synchronization fetches all Microsoft SQL application groups. Users can be added to or removed from groups.
