IBM Tivoli Identity Manager DB2 Adapter 5.1.3 is available. Compatibility, installation, and other getting-started issues are addressed.
Welcome to the IBM Tivoli Identity Manager DB2 Adapter.
These Release Notes contain information for the following products that was not available when the IBM Tivoli Identity Manager manuals were printed:
The DB2 Adapter is designed to create and manage user accounts on a DB2 Universal Database. The adapter runs in "agentless" mode and communicates using JDBC to the systems being managed.
IBM recommends the installation of this Adapter (and the prerequisite IBM Tivoli Directory Integrator) on each node of an IBM Tivoli Identity Manager WAS 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 Tivoli Identity Manager Provisioning Policies and Approval Workflow process. Please refer to the IBM Tivoli 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.
