Service definition file or adapter profile

A service definition file, also known as an adapter profile, defines the type of managed resource that IBM Security Identity Manager can manage. The service definition file creates the service types on ISIM Server. The service definition file is a Java archive (JAR) file containing the following information:

• Service information, including definitions of the account provisioning operations that can be performed for the service, such as add, delete, suspend, or restore.

• Service provider information, which defines the underlying implementation of how ISIM Server communicates with the managed resource.

• Schema information, including the LDAP classes and attributes.

• Account forms and service forms, along with the label for the attributes, which are displayed in the user interface for creating services and requesting accounts on those services.
