2.5 Configuring Identity Governance

Identity Governance uses the Identity Governance 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 Identity Governance configuration settings.

2.5.1 Integrating the Driver with Identity Governance

You must configure Identity Governance to support integration with the Identity Governance driver. NetIQ provides the Identity Governance Configuration utility, which allows you to modify settings for Identity Governance. For more information about using the utility, see “Running the Identity Governance Configuration Ultility” in the NetIQ Identity Governance Administrator Guide.

  1. Log in to the server that hosts Identity Governance.

  2. Navigate to the installation directory for Identity Governance. For example, opt/netiq/idm/apps/idgov.

  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 Identity Governance, then click Save.

  6. To enable the new configuration, restart the application server that hosts Identity Governance.

2.5.2 Integrating Identity Governance Data with Identity Manager

The Identity Governance driver helps you integrate data that Identity Governance collects from application sources with role and resource data in Identity Manager. You might want to do this if your Identity Governance 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 Identity Governance Administrator Guide.
