Re: Replication of EIM in a High Availability Environment

Hi, Joseph,

Try these IBM web pages:

    https://www.ibm.com/docs/sk/i/7.4.0?topic=i-backup-recovery-considerations-eim ;

and
    https://community.ibm.com/community/user/discussion/backing-up-and-recovering-of-eim-data ;

and
    https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/ldap-replication-emphasis-eim-data

Also ask your "HA" vendor support about this topic.

All the best,

Mark S. Waterbury

We have recently implemented a high availability software solution.  On the current production system, we have implemented single sign-on by using IBM i  Enterprise Identity Mapping (EIM) solution.  The HA software solution does not address EIM data.  Other than manually entering source and target information into both systems, is anyone aware of a process that would replicate EIM data between a source and target IBM i system?  In a role-swap scenario, end users should be able to access the target system as they would the source system by not having to enter a password.

Understanding that there may be some issues with EIM under User Registries and LDAP, I am just attempting to determine if this is feasible or should be managed manually through IBM Navigator for i.
