About Identity Management

The Identity Management system connects to a CMP through an HTTP or HTTPS interface. The user must specify idm for the operation parameter in the requested URL, similar to http://127.0.x.x/mi/xmlInterfaceRequest.do?user=supervisor&pwd=password&operation=idm.

The account used for connecting the OSSI to the CMP is a regular CMP user account, with the default global scope and the following privileges:
  • Show privilege for OSSI Import/Export
  • Read-Write privilege for user management
The Identity Management feature enables you to perform the following tasks:
  • Add a User

    Create one or more users, or update the parameters for a current user overwriting them with new parameters.

  • Update a User

    Update parameters for one or more users.

  • Query a User

    Query one user if the Name element occurs, or all users if the Name element does not exist.

  • Delete a User

    Delete one or more users.
