Welcome to the IBM Security Identity Manager Google Apps Adapter.
These Release Notes contain information for the following products that was not available when the IBM Security Identity Manager manuals were printed:
The Google Apps Adapter is designed to create and manage User Accounts on the Google Apps domain. The adapter runs in "agentless" mode and communicates using Google Directory API to the Google Apps Domain being managed.
IBM recommends the installation of this Adapter (and the prerequisite IBM Tivoli Directory Integrator) on each node of an IBM Security Identity Manager WAS cluster. A single copy of the adapter can handle multiple IBM Security Identity Manager Services. The deployment configuration is based, in part, on the topology of your network domain, but the primary factor is the planned structure of your IBM Security Identity Manager Provisioning Policies and Approval Workflow process. Please refer to the IBM Security Identity Manager Information Center for a discussion of these topics.
The IBM Security 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 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 (root) 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.
