Adapter Features and Purpose

The Salesforce.com Adapter is designed to create and manage User Accounts on the Salesforce.com platform. The adapter runs in "agentless" mode and communicates using HTTPS and LDAP protocol.

The Identity Manager Adapters are powerful tools that require Administrator Level authority. Adapters operate much like a human system administrator, creating accounts, permissions and home directories. Operations requested from the Identity Manager server will fail if the Adapter is not given sufficient authority to perform the requested task. IBM recommends that this Adapter run with administrative (root) permissions.

 

Service Groups Management

Managing service groups implies the following:

 

The Salesforce.com adapter does not support service groups management.

 

License Agreement

Review and agree to the terms of the IBM Security Identity Adapter License prior to using this product. The license can be viewed from the "license" folder included in the product package.
