Supported registries
ISAM supports several user registries and their supported operating systems. See the IBM Security Verify Access Knowledge Center or Technotes in the support knowledge database to review the most recent release information, including product requirements, disk space requirements, and known defects and limitations. Ensure that all necessary operating system patches are installed.
IBM Security Directory Server
IBM Security Directory Server is included with ISAM. We can use a prexisting standalone installation of IBM Security Directory Server for use with ISAM if we upgrade the server to a supported level. We can install the client on the same system as a previous version (such as 6.3, 6.2, 6.1, or 6.0) of the IBM Security Directory Server client. The client is required when an LDAP user registry is selected during installation.
IBM Security Directory Server for z/OS
ISAM supports the use of IBM Security Directory Server for z/OS .For product information, see the z/OS Internet Library. Customers can also obtain softcopy publications on DVD z/OS: Collection, SK3T-4269.
