Extending and customizing the IBM Security Identity Manager

White Papers


Abstract

The IBM Security Identity Manager (ISIM) virtual appliance significantly reduces the complexity in installing and configuring the ISIM environment, including the operating system, middleware, and the ISIM application itself. However, with this simplification, comes some change in the way ISIM administrators and consultants can customize and extend the ISIM environment compared to previous software stack installations of ISIM. This document describes supported approaches for developing and maintaining ISIM extensions or customization.

Areas include:
