For the people in the organization, plan to import identity records that create IBM Security Identity Manager users and how to provide their passwords.

Topic Initial conditions Implementation steps
Identities One administrator account named itim manager exists with an initial password of secret. Specify which identity records require ISIM user IDs. Create one identity to test each group provided by ISIM. Create another administrative user ID to guard against accidental loss of access.
Import identity records A global identity policy exists. Specify data format use when identity feed importing identity records. Determine if attributes specified by the global identity policy are appropriate. For most organizations, manually loading user data is not a practical method to define many users.
Set policies Password policy or forgotten password specifications do not exist. Password synchronization is on. The default identity policy is based on the uid attribute of the user. If the uid attribute has a null value, the identity policy concatenates the initial of the given name of a person with the surname of a person. Set the password policy, challenge-response authentication, and identity policy.
