Preface

Welcome to the IBM Security Identity Governance and Intelligence SDI-based IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager Adapter.

These Release Notes contain information for the following products that was not available when the IBM Security Identity Governance and Intelligence manuals were printed:

 

Adapter Features and Purpose

The SDI-based IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager Adapter is designed to reconcile users, accesses, groups and admin domains, and manage user entitlements on IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager systems.The adapter runs in "agentless" mode and communicates using HTTPS and LDAP 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 Governance and Intelligence 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.
