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

· Directory Integrator-Based BlackBerry Enterprise Server Adapter User Guide
The Directory Integrator-Based BlackBerry Enterprise Server Adapter is designed to create and manage accounts BlackBerry-enabled accounts. The adapter runs in "agentless" mode and communicates with the BlackBerry Administration Server via BlackBerry Administration Web Services.
IBM recommends this adapter (and the prerequisite Tivoli Directory Integrator) be installed on each node of an IBM Tivoli Identity Manager WebSphere cluster. 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 Security Identity Manager Provisioning Policies and Approval Workflow process. Please refer to IBM Tivoli Identity Manager Information Center for a discussion of these topics.
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 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.

See the IBM Tivoli Identity Manager Directory Integrator-Based BlackBerry Enterprise Server Adapter Installation Guide for detailed instructions.
The following corrections to the Installation Guide apply to this release:
Two connector jar files are included in the adapter package: connectors/domino/BESConnector.jar and connectors/exchange/BESConnector.jar. You must select the connector that is appropriate for your BlackBerry Enterprise Server installation. If your BlackBerry Enterprise Server uses IBM Lotus Domino, then copy the connectors/domino/BESConnector.jar file to the ITDI_HOME/jars/connectors directory. If your BlackBerry Enterprise Server uses Microsoft Exchange, then copy the connectors/exchange/BESConnector.jar file to the ITDI_HOME/jars/connectors directory.
If you select the wrong connector jar file for your BlackBerry Enterprise Server environment, then you will see an error like the following when you execute a "Test Connection" operation on a BlackBerry Enterprise Server service:
CTGIMU107W
The
connection to the specified service cannot be established. Verify the service
information, and try again.
CTGIMT001E
The
following error occurred. Error: Failed to read a response:
javax.xml.bind.UnmarshalException - with linked
exception:
[javax.xml.bind.UnmarshalException: Unable to create an instance of
com.rim.com_rim_bes_bas.ServiceInstanceType - with linked exception:
[java.lang.InstantiationException]]
The following configuration notes apply to this release:
If you use the Active Directory authenticator type, do not use a domain-qualified administrator name. That is, do not use the DomainName\UserName format, just use UserName.
IBM Tivoli Identity Manager 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 Tivoli Identity Manager administration
· IBM Tivoli Directory Integrator management
· IBM Tivoli 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 Tivoli Directory Integrator connector, the developer must also be familiar with Tivoli Directory Integrator connector development and working knowledge of Java programming language.

IBM Tivoli Identity Manager Adapter Development:
Adapter Development Tool
The Adapter Development Tool, ADT, is a tool used by IBM Tivoli Identity Manager (ITIM) customers and consultants to create custom TIM adapters. It reduces adapter delivery time by about 50% and it helps in the development of custom adapters. The Adapter development tool is available on the IBM Open Process Automation Library (OPAL).
The integration to the Identity Manager 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.
