Configuring provisioning for Postgres
This configuration provisioning guide provides the basic information that is needed to install and configure the Postgres adapter. The adapter enables connectivity between the IBM® Verify server and a system that runs the Postures database server.
Before you begin
Note: Postgres provisioning is not supported for trial subscriptions.
- Make sure Security Directory Integrator (SDI) v7.2 (PN CJ30YML) is installed in your operating
system. Refer 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, refer 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 Verify Adapter RMI Integrator dispatcher for Security Directory Integrator v7.2 (PN CC7ZMML). Refer https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/ibm-security-identity-adapters-v7x and SDI Dispatcher Installation and Configuration.

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