Adapters

An adapter is a software component that provides an interface between a managed resource and IBM Security Identity Manager. An adapter functions as a trusted virtual administrator for the managed resource. An adapter does such tasks as creating accounts, suspending accounts, and other functions that administrators typically do. An adapter consists of the service definition file and the executable code for managing accounts.

Several agentless adapters are automatically installed when we install IBM Security Identity Manager. We can install more adapters. See the ISIM adapter documentation.
