Service definition file

A service definition file, which is also known as an adapter profile, defines the type of managed resource that IBM Verify Identity Governance can manage. The service definition file creates the service types on the Verify Identity Governance Server.

The service definition file is a JAR file that contains the following information:
  • Service information, including definitions of the user provisioning operations that can be done for the service, such as add, delete, suspend, or restore.
  • Service provider information, which defines the underlying implementation of how the Verify Identity Governance Server communicates with the managed resource. Valid service providers are Security Directory Integrator and DSMLv2.
  • Schema information, including the LDAP classes and attributes.
  • Account forms and service forms. A properties file for accounts and supporting data such as service groups defines the labels for the attributes on these forms. The labels are displayed in the user interface for creating services and requesting accounts on those services.
