2.5 Configuring Access Review

Access Review uses the Access Review driver to integrate collected permissions and permission assignment tasks with the role and resource catalog in Identity Manager. To do so, you must modify the Access Review configuration settings.

2.5.1 Integrating the Driver with Access Review

You must configure Access Review to support integration with the Access Review driver. NetIQ provides the AR Configuration utility, which allows you to modify settings for Access Review. For more information about using the utility, see “Configuring Access Review Settings” in the NetIQ Access Review User Guide.

  1. Log in to the server that hosts Access Review.

  2. Navigate to the installation directory for Access Review. For example, opt/netiq/idmapps/accessreview.

  3. To run the utility, enter the following command:

    ./bin/configutil.sh -password db_password
  4. Select Miscellaneous Settings.

  5. Select Enable integration using Identity Manager Driver for Access Review, then click Save.

  6. To enable the new configuration, restart the application server that hosts Access Review.

2.5.2 Integrating Access Review Data with Identity Manager

The Access review driver helps you integrate data that Access Review collects from application sources with role and resource data in Identity Manager. You might want to do this if your Access Review environment collects permissions from applications that are not also connected systems in Identity Manager. After you set up the integration, you can export the permissions and their assignments from the non-connected applications to Identity Manager.

For more information, see “Integrating Collected Data with Identity Manager” in the NetIQ Access Review User Guide.
