DISTRIBUTED TOPOLOGY ENABLER FOR IDENTITY MANAGER
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- combining existing identity management information from multiple Identity Manager (IM) nodes;
presenting the combined information from the multiple IM nodes;
receiving a provisioning request to change the identity management information;
decomposing the provisioning request to form multiple, separate sub-requests;
identifying one or more IM nodes to process the sub-requests;
issuing the sub-requests to the one or more IM nodes in parallel;
receiving a status of each of the sub-requests from each of the one or more IM nodes that is processing that sub-request;
combining the received statuses; and
returning the combined status as a status of the provisioning request.

Abstract
Provided are techniques for combining existing identity management information from multiple Identity Manager (IM) nodes. The combined information from the multiple IM nodes is presented. A provisioning request to change the identity management information is received. The provisioning request is decomposed to form multiple, separate sub-requests. One or more IM nodes are identified to process the sub-requests. The sub-requests are issued to the one or more IM nodes in parallel. A status of each of the sub-requests is received from each of the one or more IM nodes that is processing that sub-request. The received statuses are combined. The combined statuses are returned as a status of the provisioning request.
