IBM Tivoli Identity Manager Directory Integrator-Based IBM i Adapter 5.1.12 is available. Compatibility, installation, and other getting-started issues are addressed.
Installation and Configuration Notes
Customizing or Extending Adapter Features
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 i5/OS Adapter Installation and Configuration Guide
The i5/OS Adapter is designed to create and manage accounts on System i. The adapter runs in "agentless" mode and communicates with the System i resource via HTTP.
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 the IBM Security Identity Manager Knowledge 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.

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.

Tivoli Directory Integrator Resources:
Check the Learn section of the IBM Tivoli Directory Integrator Support web site for links to training, publications, and demos.
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.
The IBM Tivoli Identity Manager i5/OS adapter was built and tested on the following product versions.
Adapter Installation Platform:
This adapter installs into Tivoli Directory Integrator (TDI) and may be installed on any platform supported by the TDI product and supported by the target system libraries or client, where applicable. IBM recommends installing TDI on each node of the ITIM WAS Cluster and then installing this adapter on each instance of TDI. Supported TDI versions include:
IBM Tivoli Directory Integrator v7.0 with Fix Pack 3 or higher
IBM Tivoli Directory Integrator v7.1 with Fix Pack 5 or higher
Managed Resource:
i5/OS V5R4
IBM i 6.1
IBM i 7.1
IBM i 7.2
