Getting Started

The steps for Getting Started vary, depending on whether you are implementing a cloud or on-premise instance of Verify Privilege Manager.

Depending on your installation refer to either:

• Getting Started Overview - Cloud
• Getting Started - On-Premise

Deployment Types - Cloud vs. On-Premise

The following features and options are different from On-premises or previous Verify Privilege Manager Cloud (10.7.x) releases:

• The ServiceNow connector is automatically installed for all new cloud instances.
• The SMTP server is automatically configured during the cloud instance setup.
• The setup is managed by IBM Security and installations, upgrades, and repairs are unavailable to the customer directly, this includes setup, add/remove feature options, and connection options to existing Verify Privilege Vault. Upgrade notices and banners are removed with upgrades being handled by IBM Security during maintenance periods.
• All license key management is done via IBM Security and license keys are not visible on the licensing page. There are presently no options for customers to add additional licenses directly.

The following features and options are not available in Verify Privilege Manager Cloud:

• Server-side Powershell scripts not signed by IBM Security are not allowed. Custom server-side work can be done via Professional Services engagements.

All other features and functionality of Verify Privilege Manager On-premises and Cloud are the same unless otherwise specified.
