These labs show a day in the life of a line of business manager, who uses IBM Security Identity Governance and Intelligence (IGI) to manage accesses for his team members.

Overview
IBM Security Identity Governance and Intelligence, or simply IGI, is an appliance-based integrated identity governance solution. This solution employs business-centric rules, activities, and processes. It empowers Line of Business managers, auditors, and risk managers to govern access and evaluate regulatory compliance across enterprise applications and services.

This lab provides a real business user experience. You imitate a day in the life of a Line of Business manager, who uses IGI to manage accesses for his team members.

Feel free to explore each of the applications in depth and work with the data in any way you like. This is a live and fully functional Identity Governance environment, with many sample user records, roles, and risk definitions.

The Identity Governance and Intelligence user interface is divided into two areas. The Administration Console is reserved for administrators, while the Service Center is where the applications for business users are contained. In this lab we use the Service Center only.

Commercial course TW401

IBM Identity Governance and Intelligence is an advanced identity governance system. This course provides the foundational skills necessary to operate, administer, and accomplish the major business functions and analyses provided by Identity Governance and Intelligence. This course provides instruction and hands-on labs for managing the import of data and data exchange with target applications, managing the lifecycle role, modeling access risk control, running certification campaigns, designing workflow processes, and designing and administering reports.

This video describes the whys and wherefores of Identity Governance, starting with the "pain chain" of the gaps between auditors, business managers and IT when it comes to answering the question, "does an employee have the proper access privileges to perform duties per our company's policy?" The video explains key capabilities such as access certification, role mining and modeling, separation of duties and access risk analytics. These capabilities are provided by IBM Identity Governance. The video concludes with a role play of a company that's failed an audit and must address that failure within a 6 month window.

IGI leverages on the Enterprise Connectors application to align its data with the peripheral target systems.

This course demonstrates how to achieve data alignment between the centralized database of IBM Security Identity Governance, and peripheral target systems. The first part of the video focuses on configuring a connection with a peripheral target system, while the second part demonstrates account creation and removal on a remote Active Directory domain.

This video demonstrates how to manage passwords and approve, reject or redirect pending access requests from your mobile phone, using the IBM Security Access Request application.

• Miscellaneous issues

IBM Identity Governance and Intelligence is unique among identity governance tools in basing access recertification and SoD detection on conflicting business activities rather than application permissions.

The business activities approach uses plain English rather than arcane IT terminology to make sure the requester, approver and risk managers easily understand the access being requested and the risk it implies.

The Access Risk Controls module of IBM Identity Governance and Intelligence (IGI) enforces Segregation of Duties (also known as Separation of Duties, or SoD) checks, based on relationships established between the Business Activities layer (BA) and the Role-Based Access Controls model (RBAC).

This video shows how to provision and manage temporary accounts in IBM Identity Governance and Intelligence.

This lab provides a real business user experience with certification campaigns in IGI, and focuses on certification campaign redirections.

Certification campaigns are a formal process that automates the periodic review of a given relationship, and enables critical access decisions by nontechnical line of business managers.

These labs show how administrators configure certification campaigns to satisfy the company's business needs, and how business users (campaign reviewers and supervisors) operate and interact during a certification campaign.

A role identifies the set of permissions that are assigned to a user. These permissions are assigned to a user to allow access to the resources of an organization. These labs will teach you how roles are created and managed in IGI.

Overview: The Identity Governance and Intelligence, or IGI, Rules Development Toolkit is a project for the Eclipse Java IDE, designed to assist the IGI administrator in developing and troubleshooting Java rules for IGI.

This video demonstrates how to download, install, execute and use the IGI Rules Development Toolkit.

The IBM Identity Governance and Intelligence Virtual Appliance is an appliance-based solution that delivers the Identity Governance and Intelligence application.

This video demonstrates how you can install the Identity Governance and Intelligence Virtual Appliance, and perform the initial configurations.

This video shows how you can monitor the main resources of the IBM Identity Governance and Intelligence (IGI) Virtual Appliance, and demonstrates how you can investigate and troubleshoot issues.

The first part of the video demonstrates the usage of the widgets on the main Virtual Appliance Dashboard, and the Monitoring menu facilities that you can use to monitor the memory, CPU, and storage used by the IGI Virtual Appliance. The video also shows how you can monitor the IGI Virtual Appliance remotely from any SNMP monitoring application, accessing to hundreds of status variables.

The second part of the video demonstrates how you can configure an appropriate log level to capture enough logging messages and access specific log files. The video then demonstrates how we can create and download the Support File, a single package that captures all the log files at once, after an issue occurred or after having successfully recreated an issue to troubleshoot. The Support Files captures logs from both the Virtual Appliance and the Identity Governance application, and it is ultimately required and used by IBM Support to assist in troubleshooting issues.

This video is an overview of the IBM Identity Governance and Intelligence Virtual Appliance, and demonstrates how configure the main appliance parameters using the Command Line Interface and the Virtual Appliance console.

The Command Line Interface is particularly useful during the early stages of an installation, when the application has not been deployed yet, or to troubleshoot any condition that prevents you from accessing the graphical Virtual Appliance console. In the first part of the video we demonstrate how to use the Command Line Interface to move across menus, work with Virtual Appliance partitions, check fix packs installed, configure the main network parameters, and test the main connection parameters.

 We also demonstrate how to use the Virtual Appliance graphical console for the initial configuration and basic maintenance. We show how to configure the connection to an external database server, install a fix pack, and configure the NTP protocol to synchronize time among all components of the Identity Governance solution.

This video describes the initial loading of data into IGI from external sources as well as the exchange of data between IGI and authoritative data sources and target applications, using the Identity Brokerage Adapters and the Enterprise Connectors mechanisms.

Identity Brokerage Adapters allow managements of targets, where a target represents a user repository for a resource, such as an operating system, a database application, or another application that IGI manages. For example, a managed resource might be a Lotus Notes® application, and a service can be defined for a Lotus Notes User Repository.
A large number of Identity Brokerage Adapters are already supported, and new adapters are being added.

Enterprise Connectors are an alternative choice for periodic HR feeds, or any integration where data changes over time, even on a hourly or daily basis. Enterprise Connectors can be easily scheduled for periodic execution.

Note: This video was recorded during the IGI v5.2.0 Train-the-Trainer session (August 2016).

This is the Instructor Demonstration of the Virtual Appliance Command Line Interface and Virtual Appliance console as in the TW400G IBM Identity Governance and Intelligence Foundations class - Unit 1 - Lesson 2. This video does not include audio. It is intended that the instructor provides narration for the students.

A multi-step certification campaign is a review that involves multiple sequential review steps. The exercises in this lab describe the steps to create and run a multi-step certification campaign. You act as the managers involved in the review, and as certification supervisor.

Bulk Data Load allows the administrator to add a large quantity of data to the AG Core database. This method is suitable for large quantities of data that do not change over
time. Bulk Data Load is therefore appropriate for the initial data load following a new installation and when important changes are in the AG Core database.
