Contents
Welcome to the IBM Tivoli Identity Manager SQL Server Adapter.
These Release Notes contain information for the following products that was not available when the IBM Tivoli Identity Manager manuals were printed:
The SQL Server Adapter is designed to create and manage accounts on Microsoft SQL Server. The adapter runs in “agentless” mode and communicates using ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) and Microsoft SQL Server APIs to the systems being managed.
IBM recommends the installation of this adapter in “agentless” mode. A single copy of the adapter can handle multiple IBM Tivoli 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 Tivoli Identity Manager Provisioning Policies and Approval Workflow process. Please refer to the Identity Manager Information Center for a discussion of these topics.
The IBM Tivoli 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 Tivoli 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.
The ability to manage service groups is a new feature introduced in TIM 5.1. By service groups, TIM is referring to any logical entity that can group accounts together on the managed resource.
Managing service groups implies the following:
Create service groups on the managed resource.
Modify attribute of a service group.
Delete a service group.
Note: Service group name change is not supported in the TIM5.1 release.
The SQL Server adapter does not support management of service groups.

Class 3 Certificates Class 3 secure server CA-G2 certs are not written properly to “DamlCACerts.pem” file through CertTool.exe Utility. The certificate data is written twice between BEGIN CERTIFICATE and END CERTIFICATE.
Work around: To correct this issue, please follow the below steps and edit “DamlCACerts.pem” file present in “<Adapter installation path>\data” folder.
Step 1. Start the CertTool utility
Step 2. Import the class 3 CA certificate by using “F” option from the main menu of CertTool Utility.
Step 3. Once the class 3 CA certificate is successfully installed, open “DamlCACerts.pem” file stored in the “<Adapter installed path>\data” folder using text editor.
Step 4. Delete the class 3 CA certificate data (i.e. content between BEGIN CERTIFICATE and END CERTIFICATE) from “DamlCACerts.pem”.
Step 5. Open class 3 CA certificate file using text editor and copy the certificate data (between the BEGIN CERTIFICATE and END CERTIFICATE)
Step 6. Paste the certificate data to “DamlCACerts.pem” file between the BEGIN CERTIFICATE and END CERTIFICATE lines of same class 3 CA Certificate. If more than one class 3 certificates are installed then you can identify the certificate using issuer and subject data.
Step 7. Save “DamlCACerts.pem” file.
Step 8. To verify the “DamlCACerts.pem” file is edited properly, display certificate information by using option “E” from the main menu of CertTool Utility.
Please note that this issue is seen after installing class 3 CA certificate. If you correct the DamlCACerts.pem and then install another class 3 CA certificate, the newly installed class 3 CA certificate will show same issue.
This issue is also seen when you delete any certificate using option "G" from the main menu of CertTool utility. The delete option will affect all remaining class 3 CA certificate and you have to follow step 1 to 8 to correct the DamlCACerts.pem file. |
