Identity files for user accounts
Identity files are used to create and federate user accounts:
Identity list file
The identity list file is used only with the create command. This file contains the user IDs to create accounts on the local server. In the following example, the local server is the service provider.

Identity mapping file
The identity mapping file is used for both the create-federate and federate commands and can be used for the create command. This file contains the local user IDs and the remote user IDs in a pipe-delimited format. In the following example, the remote server is the identity provider.
Example identity mapping file
Federated identity mapping file
The data for the federated identity mapping file is generated by the federate command on the local server and used by the import command to import the data into the remote server. The account creation only attempts to create accounts that are local to the target server.
