Setting Up Enterprise Identity Mapping

Enterprise Identity Mapping (EIM) creates a unique identity for an individual or resource and relates that identity to all other representations of the given entity (individual or resource) within the organization.

EIM provides a means to manage multiple user registries on multiple platforms by storing information about the relationships between user or resource identities and allowing EIM-enabled applications to map from one identity to another.

An EIM environment includes at least one domain controller, EIM domain, and EIM clients. The domain controller is a LDAP server, which is used to manage and control data stored in an EIM domain, such as EIM identifiers and registry definitions.

For information on EIM, see IBM’s z/OS Security Server Enterprise Identity Mapping (EIM) Guide and Reference, SA22-7875-00.

The user ACID contains the name of the EIM profile. Default EIM and PROXY information is needed for IRR.EIM.DEFAULTS. Default PROXY information is needed for IRR.PROXY.DEFAULTS.
