Identity Provisioning uses events from eDirectory to provision user and group account information to the platform. The Platform Receiver, together with the Receiver scripts, provides Identity Provisioning on a platform.
You can use the platform configuration file to specify which users and groups are managed using Identity Provisioning and which ones are managed locally. The driver has a built-in list of special users and groups that, by default, are excluded from Identity Provisioning. For more information about the platform configuration file, see Section 10.0, The Platform Configuration File. For more information about the standard exclude list, see Section 8.10, Standard Exclude List.
Each managed user and group is assigned the same UID and GID number across all Linux/UNIX platforms in a Platform Set.
