Useful Technotes for IBM Security Identity Governance and Intelligence (IGI)

The older product support pages were curated and you could easily find technotes and other useful documents to help you implement and operate your solutions, like IBM Security Identity Governance and Intelligence (IGI). Unfortunately the new support "experience" doesn't provide the curated list of documents - you need to go search. There are some great technotes available on the support site if you go searching. But who has the time? This blog post highlights some of the more userful IGI-related technotes.

Product Documentation on the Knowledge Center

The Knowlege Center holds the official product documentation. This includes:

• IGI (you can select the product version) - https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSGHJR/welcome.html
• The Brokerage Adapters - https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSIGMP_1.0.0/com.ibm.itim_pim.doc/c_adapters_intro.htm?pos=2&cp=SSGHJR_5.2.5

Technotes 

You can find all technotes, fixes etc. at the IGI support site (https://www.ibm.com/mysupport/s/topic/0TO5000000025xvGAA/identity-governance-intelligence?language=en_US) by searching for “IBM Security Identity Governance and Intelligence”.
