Welcome to the IBM Security Identity Adapter for DB2.
These Release Notes contain information for the following products that was not available when the IBM Security Identity Server manuals were printed:
The DB2 Adapter is designed to create and manage user accounts on a DB2 Universal Database. The adapter runs in "agentless" mode and communicates using JDBC to system 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.

There is known issue with IGI for handling canonical values for multivalued attributes. If the displayed value and value to be sent to the resource are different then IGI is not able to resolve it correctly. As a workaround for this adapter, the displayed values and actual values for the database privilege attribute have been made same. Meaning of the displayed values is given below -
CONNECT = Connect to database CREATETAB = Create tables BINDADD = Create packages CREATE_NOT_FENCED_ROUTINE = Register routines ... DBADM = Database administrator authority IMPLICIT_SCHEMA = Create schemas implicitly LOAD = Access to the load utility CREATE_EXTERNAL_ROUTINE = Create external routines QUIESCE_CONNECT = Connect to quiesced database SECADM = Security administrator authority
#For Version 10.1 and above ACCESSCTRL = Access control authority DATAACCESS = Data access authority EXPLAIN = Explain statement authority SQLADM = Manage statement execution authority WLMADM = Manage workloads authority

IBM Security Identity Manager adapters can be customized and/or extended. The type and method of this customization may vary from adapter to adapter.
Refer to the IBM Security Identity Adapter Development and Customization Guide
Support for Customized Adapters
The integration to the IBM Security Identity Manager 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.
Installation Platform
The IBM Security Identity Manager Adapter was built and tested on the following product versions.
