Course outline

Introduction
- This unit is intended to provide an introduction to IBM Tivoli Identity Manager. It explains the solution that IBM Tivoli Identity Manager provides, describes features, and takes a look at the system architecture.
Adding and Managing Users
- This unit discusses the different types of IBM Tivoli Identity Manager users as well as how to add and manage user information. You will have the opportunity to add users using various methods as well as manage user information.
Provisioning and Managing Accounts
- This unit explains how to provision users with accounts as well as how to manage accounts once they are created. You will have the opportunity to provision and manage user accounts.

It also covers the creation of static and dynamic organizational roles. You will have the opportunity to add various units to the organization as well as add organizational roles.
Creating Services
- This unit explains how to create services in IBM Tivoli Identity Manager. Once services are created, IBM Tivoli Identity Manager can be used to provision accounts for users. You will have the opportunity to create a service that will be used later to provision user accounts.
- This unit also explains how to install an IBM Tivoli Identity Manager Agent. You will get the opportunity to create the agent administration account, install the agent software, and start the agent.
Creating Provisioning Policies
- This unit describes how provisioning policies authorize users to have access to the various resources of the organization. It will discuss the components of a provisioning policy, such as membership, entitlements, provisioning parameter lists, and join directives. You will have the opportunity to create a provisioning policy as well as set join directives.
Creating Identity Policies
- This unit explains how Identity Policies are used to generate a valid user ID for any account created through IBM Tivoli Identity Manager. You will have the opportunity to create an identity policy.
Creating Password Policies
- This unit explains how password policies are used to determine the rules for password creation in IBM Tivoli Identity Manager. You will have the opportunity to create a password policy.
Performing Reconciliation
- This unit defines reconciliation, explains the different types of reconciliation as well as how to create and run a reconciliation. Once a reconciliation has run, the results can be reviewed to determine if all accounts are authorized. You will have the opportunity to create and run a reconciliation, adopt orphan accounts, as well as create and run a partial reconciliation.
Configuring Provisioning Entitlements
- This unit describes the functions of the provisioning and advanced provisioning parameter lists found in provisioning policies. Configuration of these lists determines the level of access a user has to a platform once the user account is created. This is done by statically and dynamically populating attribute values. You will have the opportunity to configure both the provisioning and advanced provisioning parameter lists of a provisioning policy.
Creating Service Selection Policies
- This unit describes how service selection policies determine which account or accounts are most appropriate to provision to a user based on the user’s organizational role or attribute values of their user profile. You will have the opportunity to create a service selection policy and see how specific accounts are provisioned to users.
Designing Workflows
- This unit describes how to use workflows for approving requests. It also discusses different types of workflows that can be used for different activities, such as gathering additional information before a request is processed. Lifecycle management is also discussed. You will get the opportunity to create various types of workflows and use them to approve requests.
Controlling Access
- This unit explains how ITIM groups and Access Control (ACIs) allow ITIM users the ability to do various tasks in IBM Tivoli Identity Manager. You will get the opportunity to create various ITIM groups and ACIs.
Configuring the User Interface
- This unit describes how to configure all the electronic forms used in IBM Tivoli Identity Manager by adding and removing attributes as well as changing the way an attribute value is captured. In addition to configuring forms, the process for changing mapped and search attributes will also be discussed. You will get the opportunity to configure a form as well as change mapped and search attributes for an entity.
Inside the IBM Tivoli Identity Manager Directory Server
- This unit identifies the main components of the IBM Tivoli Identity Manager Directory Tree and describes the directory classes used in the directory server.
Viewing Reports
- This unit covers the IBM Tivoli Identity Manager Report Viewer and its available reports. You will get the opportunity to run various reports using the Report Viewer.

You will get the opportunity to configure the password settings, configure the Password Challenge Response from both an administrator and user point of view, and add words to the password dictionary.
Preventing the Adoption of System Accounts
- This unit describes how to prevent certain system accounts, such as root and administrator accounts from being adopted during reconciliation. You will get the opportunity to configure the directory server to prevent the adoption of these types of accounts.
Extending the Schema
- This unit explains how to create a new entity with custom attributes in IBM Tivoli Identity Manager. you will get the opportunity to extend the schema by adding new attributes to the LDAP directory, creating a new object class in the LDAP directory, adding the attributes to your new object class in the LDAP directory, creating the new entity based on the new object class in IBM Tivoli Identity Manager, and customizing the form for the new entity in IBM Tivoli Identity Manager.
