IBM Security Identity Manager adapter for IBM Cloud Identity 6.0.3 is available. Compatibility, installation, and other getting-started issues are addressed.
Welcome to the IBM Security Identity Manager adapter for IBM Cloud Identity.
This Release Notes contain information for the following products that was not available when the IBM Security Identity Manager manuals were printed:
The SDI-based IBM Security Identity Manager adapter for IBM Cloud Identity is designed to reconcile users and groups on IBM Cloud Identity. It also supports user management tasks such as account add, modify, suspend, restore and password change.
The adapter runs in "agentless" mode and communicates using HTTPS protocol.
The IBM Identity Adapters are powerful tools that require Administrator Level authority. Adapters operate much like a human system administrator, managing users, groups and permissions. Operations requested from the IBM Security 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 permissions.
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.
