Reconcile the DSML service and load users into ISIM
Next, reconcile the DSML service, which adds people and Security Identity Manager user accounts to the system with the modified provisioning policy.
First, log on to ISIM administrative console as itim manager.
After the provisioning settings are in place, ISIM admin can proceed to load identity records into the system. Reconciliation copies information out of the DSML file into ISIM data store and run policies. In this example, the process creates the identity records and creates an ISIM account for each user.
An ISIM service account allows a user to log in to the ISIM and do tasks. For example, the user might request an account. Some people might not require an ISIM account. For example, an external customer or IBM Business Partner who requires access to a specific managed resource might not require an ISIM account. However, the customer or IBM Business Partner might be populated into the system as a person.
To reconcile the DSML service and populate users.
- Log in to the administrative console as an administrator.
- Click Manage Services.
- On the Select a Service page:
- In the Search information field, type DSML and click Search.
- In the Services table, click the icon (
) next to DSML Feed and click Reconcile Now.
- On the Success page, click Close, or verify the reconciliation operation is successful.
If the reconciliation operation is successful, the users in the feed file are created. Each user has an account on the ITIM Service with a password of secret.
To verify the operation is successful, complete one of the following steps:
- Click View my request to display recent requests. Refresh the Requests table until the Reconciliation task shows a status of Success. On the system with Microsoft SQL database, the view might show the Pending state when the task is completed. We must cancel the pending task and run the reconciliation again to successfully finish the task.
- In the left navigation pane, click Manage Users, and then search to view the added users.
