· IBM Security Identity Adapter for AWS Installation and Configuration guide
The IBM Security Identity Adapter for AWS is designed to operate several administrative tasks on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Identity and Access Management
This adapter (and the prerequisite IBM Security Directory Integrator) should be installed for each node of an IBM Security Identity Server WebSphere cluster. A single copy of the adapter can handle multiple IBM Security Identity Server services.
IBM Security Identity Server adapters are powerful tools that require Administrator Level authority. Adapters operate creating console access accounts, groups and policies.
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 AWS, the service group is an AWS group, role and policies.
Managing service groups implies the following:
· Retrieve service groups on the managed resource.
· Add users to AWS group or Attach AWS policies to user.
· Remove users from AWS group or detach AWS policies from user.
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.

Add the following content ‘Creating accounts with Programmatic Access’ in ‘Configuring Adapter’ chapter.
Adapter user can select an ‘Access Type’ on account form to create a user account with ‘Console Access’, ‘Programmatic Access’ or 'Console and Programmatic Access’.
Select ‘Programmatic Access’ or 'Console and Programmatic Access’ to create user with ‘Programmatic Access’. Once the user is created successfully through the adapter, the ‘Secret Access Key’
for that account is stored along with an 'Access Key ID’ in the ‘IDI_PS_DAFAULT(TABLE)’ under the ‘Property Stores’ of Derby database in TDI.
Adapter user can see the ‘Secret Access Key’ on account form after the first reconciliation of that account. To preserve the ‘Secret Access Key’ for user accounts created through the adapter, the
Derby database in TDI needs to be in listening mode.
Changes to the ‘Reference’ chapter in install guide
Add the following attributes in ‘Table 4. Supported user attributes’ in ‘Chapter 6. Reference’
erawsiamaccesstype=Access Type
erawsiamaccesskeyid1=Access Key ID
erawsiamsecretaccesskey1=Secret Access Key
erawsiamaccesskeyid2=Access Key ID

The following two logging hierarchies are available in the AWS SDK for Java.
· log4j.logger.com.amazonaws
· log4j.logger.org.apache.http.wire
Set these two logging hierarchies as WARN in TDI_HOME/timsol/log4j.properties.
IBM Security Identity 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
· IBM Security Directory Integrator management
· IBM 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 IBM Security Directory Integrator connector, the developer must also be familiar with IBM Security 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.
IBM Security 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 AWS was built and tested on the following product versions.
Adapter Installation Platform:
This adapter installs into IBM Security Directory Integrator (SDI) and may be installed on any platform supported by the SDI product and supported by the target system libraries or client, where applicable.
