These Release Notes contain information for the following products that was not available when the IBM Security Identity Server manuals were printed:
· IBM Security Identity Adapter for LDAP Installation and Configuration guide
The IBM Security Identity Adapter for LDAP is designed to create and manage LDAP accounts. The adapter runs in agentless mode and is preconfigured to manage the iNetOrgPerson schema on Tivoli Directory Server and Oracle Directory Servers. However, adapter can be configured to manage other directories. The LDAP Customization White Paper, packaged with this adapter, contains information about customizing the IBM Security Identity Adapter for LDAP.
This adapter (and the prerequisite Tivoli Directory Integrator) should be installed on each node of an IBM Security Identity Server WebSphere cluster. A single copy of the adapter can handle multiple IBM Security Identity Server 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 Server Provisioning Policies and Approval Workflow process. Please refer the IBM Knowledge Centre for a discussion of these topics.
IBM Security Identity Server 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 IBM Security Identity 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 Group Management
A service group refers to any logical entity that can group accounts together on the managed resource. In the case of IBM Security Identity Adapter for LDAP, the service group is an LDAP group.
Managing service groups implies the following:
· Create service groups on the managed resource.
· Modify attribute of a service group.
· Delete a service group.
Note: Modify service group name is not supported.
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.

IBM Security Identity Server adapters can be customized and/or extended. The type and method of this customization may vary from adapter to adapter.
Customizing and extending adapters requires a number of additional skills. The developer must be familiar with the following concepts and skills prior to beginning the modifications:
· IBM Security Identity Server administration
· Tivoli Directory Integrator management
· Tivoli Directory Integrator Assembly Line development
· LDAP schema management
· Working knowledge of Java scripting language
· Working knowledge of LDAP object classes and attributes
· Working knowledge of XML document structure
Note: If the customization requires a new Tivoli Directory Integrator connector, the developer must also be familiar with Tivoli Directory Integrator connector development and working knowledge of Java programming language.
IBM Security Identity Server Resources:
Check the Training section of the IBM Knowledge Centre for links to training, publications, and demos.
Tivoli Directory Integrator Resources:
Check the Learn section of the IBM Tivoli Directory Integrator Support web site for links to training, publications, and demos.
The integration to the IBM Security Identity Server – the adapter framework – is supported. However, IBM does not support the customizations, scripts, or other modifications. If you experience a problem with a customized adapter, IBM Support may require the problem to be demonstrated on the GA version of the adapter before a PMR is opened.
The IBM Security Identity Adapter for LDAP was built and tested on the following product versions.
Adapter Installation Platform:
This adapter installs into Tivoli Directory Integrator (TDI) and may be installed on any platform supported by the TDI product and supported by the target system libraries or client, where applicable. IBM recommends installing TDI on each node of the IBM Security Identity Server WAS Cluster and then installing this adapter on each instance of TDI. Supported TDI versions include:
· IBM Tivoli Directory Integrator 7.1.1 + .17.1-TIV-TDI-FP0004 + 7.2.0-ISS-SDI-LA0008
· Security Directory Integrator 7.2+ FP0004
Earlier versions of TDI that are still supported may function properly, however
to resolve any communication errors, you must upgrade your TDI/SDI releases to
the officially supported versions by the adapters.
Note:
The adapter supports IBM Security Directory Integrator 7.2, which is available
only to customers who have the correct entitlement. Contact your IBM
representative to find out if you have the entitlement to download IBM Security
Directory Integrator 7.2.
Managed Resource:
IBM Directory Server version 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4
Oracle Directory Server Version 11.1.1.7.0
IBM Security Directory Suite (SDS) VA version 8.0
Other directories that comply with RFC2798 standards and are supported by the Tivoli Directory Integrator LDAP connector. However, you might require additional customization. See the IBM Security Identity Adapter for LDAP Customization Guide for information on customizing this adapter.
IBM Security Identity Manager:
ISIM v7.0.x
IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager (PIM):
ISPIM 2.x
Identity Governance and Intelligence (IGI):
IGI 5.2.x
