· nstallation and Configuration Guide for IBM Security Verify Governance Adapter for RSA Authentication Manager



Adapter Features and Purpose

The IBM Security Verify Governance Adapter for RSA Authentication Manager is designed to create and manage accounts user accounts in the RSA Authentication Manager server. The adapter runs in "agentless" mode and communicates with the RSA Authentication Manager through Enterprise Java Beans (EJBs).



IBM recommends this adapter (and the prerequisite Security Directory Integrator) be installed on each node of an IBM Security Verify Governance Server WebSphere cluster. A single copy of the adapter can handle multiple IBM Security Verify Governance 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 Verify Governance Server Provisioning Policies and Approval Workflow process. Please refer to IBM Security Verify Governance Adapters Knowledge Center for a discussion of these topics.

IBM Security Verify Governance 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 Verify Governance 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.

Known Limitations

Internal#

Case#/KnownIssue

Description



Adapter fails to modify On Demand Authentication Attributes.



If an account is enabled for On Demand Authentication(ODA), and a modify operation is performed,

to update other ODA attributes (for e.g. Delivery Method, SMS Destination Address etc.), the adapter fails.

Workaround to update ODA attributes:

-Perform modify operation to disable the account for ODA.

-Modify account again to enable ODA with new values.



The issue will be fixed in future release.






Wrong status returned during filtered recon



When a filtered recon is executed using a filter like (eruid=name) and "name" is not found in the target resource, the adapter returns a FAILURE status.  The adapter should return a SUCCESS status so that IBM Security Verify Governance Adapter will remove the "name" service account from its datastore.

 

This issue will be fixed in a future release.

 



 

Object Class Violation Error on SendOnly Attributes

 

If the RSA Authentication Manager adapter fails to set one or more send-only attributes

· erRsaAmT1ClearSecurIDPin

· erRsaAmT2ClearSecurIDPin

· erRsaAmT3ClearSecurIDPin

· erServicePwd1

· erServicePwd2

· erServicePwd3

· erRsaAmT1RplNextToken

· erRsaAmT2RplNextToken

· erRsaAmT3RplNextToken

on the RSA Authentication Manager server during an ADD or MODIFY operation, then the adapter will return the attribute in the failed attribute list and some versions of the IBM Security Verify Governance Adapter  will generate an "Object Class Violation" error.  This is an IBM Security Verify Governance Adapter server defect and will be addressed in a future server fix pack.

 



 

RSA Authentication Manager Adapter impacts on TDI and other adapters



For the adapter to run correctly, several specific jar files are needed in the runtime environment.  Some of these jars interfere with the operation of other adapters or with certain features of the Tivoli Directory Integrator (TDI).  In particular,

· The TDI 7.1.1 or SDI 7.2 REST service will not run when the RSA Authentication Manager 8.0 or 8.1 Adapter is installed and configured.

· Do not install the RSA Authentication Manager Adapter in the same TDI environment with any of the following adapters: Google Apps or Salesforce.






No support for 2-way SSL or SOAP communication

The adapter does not support two-way SSL communication with the RSA Authentication Manager server. The adapter also does not support the SOAP protocol when communicating with the RSA Authentication Manager server

Installing



· In Installing -> Installing the adapter binaries or connector section change below lines

The following connectors are available:

add : - connectors/am87/RsaAuthMgrConnector.jar

add : for RSA 8.7 and later : Copy the resource/RsaAuthmanConfig.properties file to the SDI_HOME/timsol directory.



· In Installing -> Copying JAR files from the RSA Authentication Manager server to the Security Directory Integrator environment

remove:

Before you begin

If you are using RSA Authentication Manager 7.1, complete these steps first:

  1. On the RSA Authentication Manager server, change to the RSA_AM_HOME/appserver/weblogic/server/lib/ directory.

  2. Enter the following command on one line:

    java -jar ../../../modules/com.bea.core.jarbuilder_1.0.0.0.jar
    -profile wlfullclient
  1. The wlfullclient.jar file is created in the RSA_AM_HOME/appserver/weblogic/server/lib directory.

If you are using RSA Authentication Manager 8.0, 8.1, or 8.2 the wlfullclient.jar file is already created



remove table :

RSA Authentication Manager 7.1




Add table:



RSA Authentication Manager 8.27

The required JAR files are in the RSA_SDK_HOME/lib/java directory where RSA_SDK_HOME is the directory where you installed the Authentication Manager SDK. You must copy only these files from the RSA_SDK_HOME/lib/java directory into the SDI_HOME/jars/patches/rsa directory.

am-client.jar

aopalliance.jar

axis-jaxrpc.jar

axis-saaj.jar

New paragraph:



-> Installing in the Verify Governance Virtual Appliance





( Please add this new section at knowledge centre (under Installing > Installing in the Verify Governance Virtual Appliance) for to describe installation procedure of adapter in Verify Governance Virtual Appliance: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/svgaa?topic=ldap-installing-in-virtual-appliance. Please add this below note as well after adding the description.)



Note: While uploading the Adapter package, you may receive System Error: A file included in the SDI Adapter zip already exists on the system and the Server Message log under Appliance tab of VA will have a reference to error com.ibm.identity.sdi.SDIManagementService E File ibm.com_IBM_Security_Verify_Governance_xxxx.swidtag found in the adapter zip at location ILMT-Tags/ already exists in system. This is because, you can install the same swidtags only once. So, if another adapter of the same type is installed, remove the swidtags.





The ibm.com_IBM_Security_Verify_Governance_Enterprise-xxxx.swidtag file is common to all adapters. In addition to the common swidtag file, an application adapter needs ibm.com_IBM_Security_Verify_Governance_Application_Adapters-xxxx.swidtag file and an infra adapter needs ibm.com_IBM_Security_Verify_Governance_Lifecycle-xxxx.swidtag and ibm.com_IBM_Security_Verify_Governance_Compliance-xxxx.swidtag files. So, if an application adapter is already installed and this is an infra adapter, then only install the infra-specific swidtags and the other way around. Please visit IBM Security Verify Governance Adapters v10.x link to identify the adapter type of the installed adapters.
