This connector supports both Identity and Provisioning.

The functionalities of this connector enable you as an Identity administrator to configure MIT Kerberos as a connected system and then make Identity users part of the MIT Kerberos system. This enables the user or Identity administrator to reset MIT Kerberos account passwords. This also enables you to enable and disable user accounts.

The connector enables the integration of MIT Kerberos into Identity. With Identity, users can reset their password when they forget their password or want to change their password.

Note: MIT Kerberos is not available on Windows; so if the Identity Server is running on Windows, a GIG must be installed on the UNIX/Linux platform hosting the MIT Kerberos Server.

Functionalities

Identity Integration

Provisioning Integration

Prerequisites

Ensure that these prerequisites are satisfied:

• MIT Kerberos is installed, configured, and running
• An administrator account that can be used to establish a connection and has authority to manage accounts on the connected system.
• An enabled port that is not blocked by a firewall.
• In the kadmin.acl file, the administrator user set up for the identity administration should at least have these rights:
  
  
  • -changepw: c
  • modify: m
  • -inquire: i

Minimum privileges are: mci.

A privilege is set in the .acl file in the format: user/instance privileges.

A lower case letter specifies allowing a privilege, an uppercase letter specifies disallowing a privilege.

Configuration import properties Id and loginId are used by the Provisioning Policy and IdentityHub features to populate the ACCOUNT_ID and ACCOUNT_USERNAME columns of the FISC_USER_ACCOUNT table of the Product database. See the ‘Provisioning Policy’ and ‘Provisioning Using the IdentityHub’ chapters of the Identity Suite Administration Guide for details.
This table shows the default attributes specified for these properties

Connector Attributes

The command line attributes are designed to run a series of commands in the order which they are entered in the Data Mapper. In the event, if one of the commands returns an error, workflow execution will terminate at the command line where that script is run. The items in the MV (multi-valued), Export, Create, Modify, and Delete columns have these meanings:

• Y = Yes (attribute is supported for this operation)
• N = No (attribute is not supported for this operation)
• R = Required (attribute is mandatory for this operation)
