<div><p>Enterprise Identity Mapping (EIM) for <span class="keyword">iSeries™</span> allows
|
||
|
|
administrators and application developers to solve the problem of managing
|
||
|
|
multiple user registries across their enterprise.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Most network enterprises face the problem of multiple user registries,
|
||
|
|
which require each person or entity within the enterprise to have a user identity
|
||
|
|
in each registry. The need for multiple user registries quickly grows into
|
||
|
|
a large administrative problem that affects users, administrators, and application
|
||
|
|
developers. Enterprise Identity Mapping (EIM) enables inexpensive solutions
|
||
|
|
for easier management of multiple user registries and user identities in your
|
||
|
|
enterprise.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>EIM allows you to create a system of identity mappings, called associations,
|
||
|
|
between the various user identities in various user registries for a person
|
||
|
|
in your enterprise. EIM also provides a common set of APIs that can be used
|
||
|
|
across platforms to develop applications that can use the identity mappings
|
||
|
|
that you create to look up the relationships between user identities.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If you are a system administrator, you can configure and manage EIM through <span class="keyword">iSeries Navigator</span>, the <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> graphical
|
||
|
|
user interface. The <span class="keyword">iSeries server</span> uses
|
||
|
|
EIM to enable <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> interfaces
|
||
|
|
to authenticate users by means of network authentication service.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>While <span class="keyword">iSeries Navigator</span> provides
|
||
|
|
an interface for administrators to manage all user EIM identity mappings,
|
||
|
|
it does not provide a secure interface for non-administrative users to manage
|
||
|
|
their own identities. However, non-administrators (users) can manage their
|
||
|
|
own identities in an EIM domain when EIM is configured by the IBM<sup>®</sup> Welcome Page
|
||
|
|
V1.1 application. Once configured, users can sign into the IBM Telephone
|
||
|
|
Directory V5.2 application to update their directory entry and EIM identity
|
||
|
|
mappings. The application only displays EIM identity mappings if a user logs
|
||
|
|
in to update his or her own directory entry. By allowing users to manage their
|
||
|
|
own EIM identity mappings, it helps ease the workload of the EIM domain administrator.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Not all associations can be set up by IBM Welcome Page V1.1 and managed by IBM Telephone
|
||
|
|
Directory V5.2. The applications are only capable of authenticating identities
|
||
|
|
that use LDAP or FTP protocols. If user registries are found that do not accept
|
||
|
|
LDAP or FTP authentication, associations with that user registry cannot be
|
||
|
|
added. The applications must be able to authenticate a user's identity using
|
||
|
|
LDAP or FTP before an association for that identity can be added to the user's
|
||
|
|
EIM identifier.</p>
