IBM Security Identity Manager DB2 on z/OS Adapter 6.0.1 is available. Compatibility, installation, and other getting-started issues are addressed.
Welcome to the IBM Security Identity Manager DB2 on z/OS Adapter.
These Release Notes contain information for the following products that was not available when the IBM Security Identity Manager manuals were printed:
The DB2 on z/OS Adapter is designed to create and manage user accounts on a DB2 that runs on z systems. The adapter runs in "agentless" mode and communicates using JDBC to system being managed.
IBM recommends the installation of this Adapter (and the prerequisite IBM Tivoli Directory Integrator) on each node of an IBM Security Identity Manager WAS cluster. A single copy of the adapter can handle multiple IBM Security 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 Information Center for a discussion of these topics.
The IBM Security 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 Security 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.

None.
The IBM Security Identity Manager adapters can be customized and/or extended. The type and method of this customization may vary from adapter to adapter.
Getting Started
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:
Note: If the customization requires a new IBM Tivoli Directory Integrator connector, the developer must also be familiar with IBM Tivoli Directory Integrator connector development and working knowledge of Java programming language.

Support for Customized Adapters
The integration to the IBM Security 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.
Installation Platform
The IBM Security Identity Manager Adapter was built and tested on the following product versions.
Adapter Installation Platform:
IBM Tivoli Directory Integrator 7.1 with Fix Pack 5 or higher
IBM Tivoli Directory Integrator 7.1.1 with Fix Pack 2 or higher
Security Directory Integrator 7.2
Note: The adapter supports IBM Security Directory Integrator 7.2, which is available only to customers who have the correct entitlement. Contact your IBM representative to find out if you have the entitlement to download IBM Security Directory Integrator 7.2.
