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

Adapter Features and Purpose

 

The IBM Security Verify Governance Adapter for SAP HANA Database is designed to create and manage accounts on SAP HANA Database. The adapter runs in "agentless" mode and communicates using JDBC to the HANA Database being managed.

IBM recommends the installation of this Adapter (and the prerequisite IBM Security Directory Integrator) on each node of an IBM Security Identity Server WAS 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 to the IBM Knowledge Center for a discussion of these topics.

The 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 the 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 (SYSTEM) permissions.

Chapter 3: Installing
             Installing ILMT-Tags File
                            Before you begin:
                            The dispatcher must be installed

                            Procedure:
                            Copy the files from ILMT-Tags folder to the specified location:
                            1. Windows: <SDI-HOME>\swidtag
                            2. Unix/Linux: <SDI-HOME>/swidtag

              Installing in the virtual appliance(Only for Identity Governance)
                            Add below note to the end of this chapter:
                            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_Verify_Identity_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_Verify_Identity_Governance_Enterprise-xxxx.swidtag file is common to all adapters. In addition to the common swidtag file, an application adapter needs ibm.com_IBM_Verify_Identity_Governance_Application_Adapters-xxxx.swidtag file and an infra adapter needs ibm.com_IBM_Verify_Identity_Governance_Lifecycle-xxxx.swidtag and ibm.com_IBM_Verify_Identity_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 Security Verify Governance Adapters v10.x link to identify the adapter type of the installed adapters.

              Installing in an IBM Security Verify Directory Dispatcher Container
                            Before you begin

                                   The steps to install adapter and related files into the container can be performed using the adapterUtil.sh script, which is shipped with the dispatcher package. This script should be staged on the machine running Kubernetes cli. The adapterUtil.sh script is also readily available in the bin directory of ISIM IBM Security Verify Governance Identity Manager Container Starter Kit installation directory (If ISVDI was selected for installation during the ISIM container installation steps).

                                   If, for any reason, the adapter util script cannot be executed or used, the below manual instructions must be followed to copy the files to the persistent volume.

                                   Note: The container must be restarted after installing or uninstalling the adapter and any changes to the configuration yaml. To activate changes and restart the container run the following commands:
                                   · <path_to_starterkit>/bin/createConfigs.sh isvdi
                                   · For OpenShift container: oc -n isvgim rollout restart deployment isvdi
                                   · For Kubernetes container: kubectl -n isvgim rollout restart deployment isvdi

                                   Note: This document only describes the adapterUtil.sh command options that are required to install this adapter. For other command options, such as listing installed connectors and 3rd party jars, please refer to the Dispatcher10 Installation and Configuration Guide.

                            Installing / Upgrading / Re-installing / Downgrading the adapter
                                   Using Script
                                          Use below command to install / upgrade/ re-install / downgrade the adapter:

                                          /path/to/adapterUtil.sh -loadAdapter "/path/to/Adapter-HANADB-*.zip" accept

                                          Where /path/to/adapterUtil.sh is the location where the adapterUtil.sh script is installed and /path/to/Adapter-HANADB-*.zip is the location where the Adapter zip file is staged on the machine running Kubernetes cli.

                                   Manually copying files to Persistent Volume
                                          Copy the files to the persistent volume mapped to the /opt/IBM/svgadapters directory of the container image as per the given directory structure:
                                                 ILMT-Tags
                                                 Copy below files to <Persistent_Volume>/swidtag directory:

                                                 - ibm.com_IBM_Verify_Identity_Governance_Application_Adapters-11.0.0.swidtag
                                                 - ibm.com_IBM_Verify_Identity_Governance_Enterprise-11.0.0.swidtag

                           Copying 3rd party libraries:
                                   Using Script
                                          Use below command to copy 3rd party jar:

                                          /path/to/adapterUtil.sh -copyTo3rdpartyOthers "/path/to/ngdbc.jar"

                                          This command will copy the 3rd party jars to <Persistent_Volume>/jars/3rdparty/others directory.

                                   Manually copying files to Persistent Volume
                                          Copy below 3rd party jar files to <Persistent_Volume>/jars/3rdparty/others directory (Refer release notes for the supported jar versions):

                                          - ngdbc.jar

Chapter 5: Configuring
              
Enabling TLSv1.2 in Security Directory Integrator
                            Procedure:
                            
1. Apply recommended fix packs and limited availability (LA) versions on the Security Directory Integrator. See Recommended fixes for IBM Tivoli Directory Integrator (TDI) & IBM Security Directory Integrator (SDI).
                            2. After applying the appropriate updates, modify the /solution.properties file by appending the following text to the bottom of the file:

                            #####################
                            # # Protocols to enforce SSL protocols in a SDI Server
                            # # Optional values for com.ibm.di.SSL* property (TLSv1, TLSv1.1, TLSv1.2). # # This can be a multi-valued comma separated property
                            # # Optional values for com.ibm.jsse2.overrideDefaultProtocol property (SSL_TLSv2, TLSv1,TLSv11,TLSv12).
                            # # This is a single value property.
                            #####################
                            -
                            com.ibm.di.SSLProtocols=TLSv1,TLSv1.1,TLSv1.2
                            com.ibm.di.SSLServerProtocols=TLSv1,TLSv1.1,TLSv1.2
                            com.ibm.jsse2.overrideDefaultProtocol=TLSv1
                            com.ibm.jsse2.overrideDefaultTLS=true
                            #####################

              Customizing the adapter
                            The adapters can be customized or extended or both. The type and method of this customization varies depending on the adapter.
                            Customizing and extending adapters requires a number of skills. The developer must be familiar with the following concepts and skills:

                            - IBM Security Verify Governance Identity Manager administration
                            - IBM Security Verify Governance administration
                            - IBM Security Directory Integrator management
                            - Security 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 Security Directory Integrator connector, the developer must also be familiar with Security Directory Integrator connector development and working knowledge of Java programming language.

                            Support for custom adapters
                                          The integration to IBM Security Verify Governance servers "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.
