Edit online

Create a service instance for an identity type, such as CSV or DSML.

Before you begin

Depending on how your system administrator customized your system, you might not have access to this task. To obtain access to this task or to have someone complete it for you, contact your system administrator.

Before you can create a service in IBM Verify Identity Governance, you must create a service type. Alternatively, you can use one of the service types that was automatically created when the Verify Identity Governance Server was installed. You can create a service type by installing the adapter profile. You can also add new schema classes and attributes for the service to your LDAP directory. Before you can create a service for an adapter, the adapter must be installed, and the adapter profile must be created.

About this task

The service name and description that you provide for each service are displayed on the console. Therefore, it is important to provide values that make sense to your users and administrators.

To create an identity feed service instance, complete these steps:

Procedure

  1. From the navigation tree, click Manage Services.
    The Select a Service page is displayed.
  2. On the Select a Service page, click Create.
    The Create a Service wizard is displayed.
  3. On the Select the Type of Service page, select an identity feed service type, and then click Next.
    If the table contains multiple pages, you can:
    • Click the arrow to go to the next page.
    • Type the number of the page that you want to view and click Go.
  4. On the Service Information page, specify the appropriate values for the service instance.
  5. Click Test Connection to validate that the data in the fields is correct, and then click Finish.

Results

For the inetOrgPerson identity feed, a successful test connection message confirms that all required fields are filled and that the specified target can be reached. It does not guarantee that reconciliation of the LDAP resource is successful or produces the wanted results.

A message indicates that you successfully created the service instance for the specific identity feed service type.

What to do next

Schedule reconciliation, or run a reconciliation immediately with the task list associated with the service.

When the Select a Service page is displayed, click Refresh to refresh the Services table and display the new service instance.
