Create a DSML service

The next step is to create a DSML service.

First, log on to ISIM administrative console as itim manager.

To import identity records into ISIM by using DSML, an ISIM admin must first create a DSML identity feed service. In ISIM, a service represents a managed resource, such as an operating system, a database application, or another application that ISIM manages. With a DSML service, the service represents the idea of a user repository. After this service is established, users are not automatically populated into the system; a reconciliation must be run. However, the service can be tested to ensure that the file is in the system.

To create a DSML service in ISIM.

1. Log on to the administrative console as an administrator.

2. Click Manage Services.

3. On the Select a Service page, click Create.

4. On the Select the Type of Service page, select the DSML identity feed service type.

5. Click Next to display the Service Information page.

6. On the Service Information page:

   1. In the Service name field, type DSML Feed.

   2. Optional: Provide a description, user ID, and password for the service name.

   3. In the File name field, enter the path name of the DSML file you saved and stored on ISIM Server. For example, C:\feedfile.dsml. For Linux , determine whether permissions are set to 644 on the DSML file for the reconciliation operation to work.

   4. Select the Use workflow check box.

   5. Select the Evaluate separation of duty policy when workflow is used check box.
   6. Leave the Placement rule field blank. To enter a placement rule, see Placement of the person.

   7. Click Test Connection to confirm we can connect to the service.

   8. Click Finish.
