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.

First, log on to the IBM Verify Identity Governance administrative console as itim manager.

About this task

To import identity records into Identity Manager by using DSML, a Identity Manager administrator must first create a DSML identity feed service. In Identity Manager, a service represents a managed resource, such as an operating system, a database application, or another application that Identity Manager manages. With a DSML service, the service represents the idea of a user repository. After this service is established, users are not automatically populated into the system; a reconciliation must be run. However, the service can be tested to ensure that the file is in the system.

To create a DSML service in Identity Manager, complete these steps:

Procedure

  1. Log on to the administrative console as an administrator.
  2. From the navigation tree, click Manage Services.
  3. On the Select a Service page, click Create.
  4. On the Select the Type of Service page, select the DSML identity feed service type.
  5. Click Next to display the Service Information page.
  6. On the Service Information page, complete these steps:
    1. In the Service name field, type DSML Feed.
    2. Optional: Provide a description, user ID, and password for the service name.
    3. In the File name field, type the path name of the DSML file you saved and stored on the Identity Manager Server. For example, C:\feedfile.dsml.
      Note: For Linux®, determine whether permissions are set to 644 on the DSML file for the reconciliation operation to work.
    4. Select the Use workflow check box.
    5. Select the Evaluate separation of duty policy when workflow is used check box.
    6. Leave the Placement rule field blank.
      If you want to enter a placement rule, see Placement of the person.
    7. Click Test Connection to confirm you can connect to the service.
    8. Click Finish.
  7. On the Success page, click Close.
  8. On the Select a Service page, click Close.
