Scenario: Import the CSV file to update the services access data

This scenario describes how to import the comma-separated value (CSV) file and edit the service access data that it contains.

We can edit the following access data to configure what is displayed in the Identity Service Center: Service DN, Service name, Define as Access, Access name, Access type, Access description, Icon URL, Search terms, Additional information, and Badges.

  1. Log in to ISIM console.

  2. Go to Manage Services.

  3. Click Import Access Data.

  4. Click Browse to search for the file to import and update.

  5. Click Open.

    A confirmation message indicates whether the file is uploaded or the import process is complete. If there are any processing errors, a message is displayed. Click Download Import Log File for details on how to fix the error.

  6. Open the file to edit.

    1. From the Downloads dialog box, select the downloaded file.

    2. Select Open from the menu.

    3. Open the CSV file in any of the following tools to see the access details:

      • IBM Lotus Notes Symphony
      • Microsoft Excel

      • Google Docs

  7. Edit the access details.

    We can modify only the access information but not entity information like Service name, Group name, or Role name. If you try to edit them, the updates are not carried over in the Identity Service Center. Any other value in the DEFINE_AS_ACCESS field in the CSV file other than TRUE, is considered FALSE. If you leave the field blank, or if you entered any random character in the DEFINE_AS_ACCESS field, the entry or blank space is considered as FALSE.

Go to the Identity Service Center and verify the updates are displayed.
