Before connecting EmpowerID to an external directory, please review the Getting Started with Directory Systems topic. The topic walks you through the prerequisites you need to complete before connecting to an external directory for the first time. These prerequisites include:

  • Configuring the appropriate server roles for your EmpowerID servers

  • Reviewing the Join and Provision Rules for your environment

  • Reviewing the Join and Provision Filters for your environment

If you have already connected EmpowerID to another external directory, you can skip the above prerequisites.

EmpowerID provides connectors for a wide range of user directories and resource systems. As an administrator, you can use these connectors to quickly connect EmpowerID to your organization's identity-aware systems and applications. When you do so, you create an account store for that application in the EmpowerID Identity Warehouse and use that account store to configure how you want EmpowerID to manage the identity information in that system.



Step 1 – Create an IBM Security Verify Access account store

  1. On the navbar, expand Admin > Applications and Directories and select Account Stores and Systems.

  2. On the Account Stores page, select the Actions tab and then click Create Account Store.

     

  3. Under System Types, search for IBM Security.

  4. Click the IBM Security Verify Access record to select the type and then click Submit.

  5. On the IBM Security Verify Access Settings page that appears, fill in the following information according to your scenario:

EmpowerID creates the account store and the associated resource system. The next step is to configure the attribute flow between the account store and EmpowerID.
