Requirements for using FIM
The following are required to use FIM:
• FIM is compatible only with Linux and Unix platforms.
• Currently, only JDBC and ODBC drivers contain the necessary configuration options to allow FIM authenticated connections.
• To run the Python script ingvalidacctkn, the recommended version to install is Python 3.10 or newer.
Note: User authentication with FIM can work in parallel to the DBMS/OS authentication.
To establish a connection with a FIM system based on the OpenID and OAuth 2.0 protocol, you need to obtain the following parameters:
• The client ID: clientID.
• The client secret: clientSecret.
• The URI to the REST endpoint under which the FIM offers the userinfo endpoint: userinfoEndpoint.
• The URI to the REST endpoint under which the FIM offers the token endpoint: tokenEndpoint
Note: You can set up your FIM server to ensure that all clients can connect without needing authentication. However, this is not the recommended setup. If you decide to continue with this setup, you must set a non-empty string as value for the clientSecret. It is necessary to have a client id and this should be similar to the client id as configured in the existing FIM server.
