and a system that runs the directory server.
Overview An adapter is an interface between a managed resource and the IBM Security Identity server . The LDAP Adapter enables communication between the IBM Security Identity server and a network of systems that run IBM Directory Server or Sun ONE Directory Server . Planning Installing and configuring the adapter involves several steps that you must complete in a specific sequence. Follow the roadmap for the main tasks. Installing in the Security Identity Governance and Intelligence virtual appliance Security Identity Governance and Intelligence target management, you can install an IBM Security Identity Adapters or a custom adapter on the built-in Security Directory Integrator in the virtual appliance instead of installing the adapter externally. As such, there is no need to manage a separate virtual machine or system. Installing Installing the adapter mainly involves importing the adapter profile and creating an adapter service. Depending on the adapter, several other tasks can be involved to completely install it. Upgrading Upgrading an IBM Security Directory Integrator -based adapter involves tasks such as upgrading the dispatcher, the connector, and the adapter profile. Depending on the adapter, some of these tasks might not be applicable. Other tasks might also be required to complete the upgrade. Configuring After you install the adapter, configure it to function correctly. Configuration is based on your requirements or preference. Troubleshooting Troubleshooting is a systematic approach to solving a problem. The goal of troubleshooting is to determine why something does not work as expected and how to resolve the problem. This topic provides information and techniques for identifying and resolving problems that are related to the adapter, including troubleshooting errors that might occur during the adapter installation.Uninstalling To remove an adapter from the IBM Security Identity server for any reason, you must remove all the components that were added during installation. Uninstalling the adapter involves running the uninstaller and removing the adapter profile from the IBM Security Identity server .
