PyISIM

Python client for IBM Security Identity Manager (ISIM / ITIM) web services (SOAP and REST APIs)

Examples

Look for the tests/ folder in our Github repo to see some more detailed examples.

• Login

from pyisim.auth import Session
user="itim manager"
password="secret"
cert="./my_certificate.cer"
url="iam.isim.com"
sess=Session(url,user,password,cert)

Every example after assumes you have already a valid Session object named sess

• Creating people

from pyisim.entities import Person
info_persona={
    "employeenumber": "1015463230",
    "correo": "[e-mail]",
    "title": "Especialista de producto",
    "departmentnumber":"IBM",
}
persona = Person(sess, person_attrs=info_persona)
persona.add(sess,"my org","my justification")

• Modifying people

from pyisim import search
persona = search.people(sess,Person,"employeenumber","1015463230",limit=1)[0]
persona.title="CEO"
persona.modify(sess,"my justification")

• Custom Person/BPPerson entities

from pyisim import Person
from pyisim import search

class MyBPPerson(Person):

    profile_name="BPPerson"

    def __init__(self,info,first_name=None):
        if first_name is None:
                first_name = "Andrés"
        info["givenname"] = first_name

        super().__init__(person_attrs=info)

MyBPPerson({"sn":"Zamora"}).add(sess,"my org","New BPPerson")

• Access request

from pyisim import search
accesses=search.access(sess,search_filter="*Consulta*",limit=5)
person=search.people(session,by="givenname",search_filter="Juan",limit=1)[0]
person.request_access(session,accesses,"justification")

• Approve activity

request_id="9585474949338"
actividad=search.activities(session,by="requestId",search_filter=request_id,limit=1)[0]
actividad.complete(sess,"approve","justification")

• Fulfill RFI

request_id="123483274614"
form=[
    {
        "name":"description",
        "value":[dn_rol],
    },
    ...
]
actividad=search.activities(session,by="requestId",search_filter=request_id)[0]
actividad.complete(sess,form,"justification")

• Update property files (ISIM VA)

from pyisim.va.auth import VASession
from pyisim.va.configure import update_property


u="admin@local"
p="secret"
url="iam.isimva.com"
cert="./mycert.cer"

s=VASession(u,p,url,cert)

property_file="CustomLabels.properties"
property_name="scriptframework.properties"
property_value="ITIM.java.access.util"
update_property.create_or_update_property(s,property_file,property_name,property_value)

TODO

in priority order

1. Add access href lookup (to ease response reading)
2. Add operations to services
   • DN Lookup
   • Add
   • Modify
   • Delete
   • Test connection
3. Add some complex use cases to the documentation
4. Fix formatting (use snake_case, use english) on the client classes (soap.py, rest.py)
