Sun[TM] Identity Manager 8.0 Resources Reference

Sun Access Manager

Identity Manager provides the Sun Access Manager resource adapter to support Sun Java™ System Access Manager running in Legacy mode.

This adapter is defined in the com.waveset.adapter.SunAccessManagerResourceAdapter class.

NoteS

Use the Sun Access Manager resource adapter for resources running in Legacy mode.

Use the Sun Access Manager Realm resource adapter for resources running in Realm mode. See Sun Access Manager Realm for information about this adapter.

Resource Configuration Notes

Note

For Access Manager 7 and later, this adapter supports legacy mode only. Realms are not supported. However, refer to the “Resource Configuration Notes” and “Identity Manager Installation Notes” sections of the Sun Access Manager Realm adapter (more...) for information about setting up an adapter that supports Access Manager 7 in legacy mode.

The Policy Agent is an optional module that you can use to enable single sign-on (SSO). Do not attempt to follow Policy Agent configuration or installation procedures if this product is not being used in your environment.

See http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/coll/1322.1 for more information about Policy Agents.

The following sections describe how to install and configure Sun Java System Access Manager and Policy Agent.

Installing and Configuring Sun Java System Access Manager (Versions Prior to Access Manager 7.0)

If you install Sun Java System Access Manager on the same system as the Identity Manager server, see Sun Access Manager Resource Adapter for information about configuration. If you are using the Policy Agent, go to Installing and Configuring the Policy Agent for additional information.

If Access Manager is installed on a different system than the Identity Manager server, then perform the following steps on the Identity Manager system.

Create a directory to place files that will be copied from the Sun Java System Access Manager server. This directory will be called CfgDir in this procedure. The location of Access Manager will be called AccessMgrHome.

Copy the following files from AccessMgrHome to CfgDir. Do not copy the directory structure.

lib/*.*

locale/*.properties

config/serverconfig.xml

config/SSOConfig.properties (Identity Server 2004Q2 and later)

config/ums/ums.xml

On UNIX, it may be necessary to change the permissions of the jar files in the CfgDir to allow universal read access. Run the following command to change permissions:

chmod a+r CfgDir/*.jar

Prepend the JAVA classpath with the following:

Windows: CfgDir;CfgDir/am_sdk.jar;CfgDir/am_services.jar;
CfgDir/am_logging.jar

UNIX: CfgDir:CfgDir/am_sdk.jar:CfgDir/am_services.jar:
CfgDir/am_logging.jar

If you are using version 6.0, set the Java system property to point to your CfgDir. Use a command similar to the following:

java -Dcom.iplanet.coreservices.configpath=CfgDir

If you are using version 6.1 or later, add or edit the following lines in the CfgDir/AMConfig.properties file:

com.iplanet.services.configpath=CfgDir
com.iplanet.security.SecureRandomFactoryImpl=com.iplanet.am.util.
SecureRandomFactoryImpl

com.iplanet.security.SSLSocketFactoryImpl=netscape.ldap.factory.
JSSESocketFactory

com.iplanet.security.encryptor=com.iplanet.services.util.
JCEEncryption

The first line sets the configpath. The last three lines change security settings.

Copy the CfgDir/am_*.jar files to $WSHOME/WEB-INF/lib. If you are using version 6.0, also copy the jss311.jar file to the $WSHOME/WEB-INF/lib directory.

If Identity Manager is running on Windows and you are using Identity Server 6.0, copy IdServer\lib\jss\*.dll to CfgDir and add CfgDir to your system path.

Note

In an environment where Identity Manager is installed on a different system from Access Manager check the following error conditions. If an error java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError, followed by java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError, on subsequent attempts, is returned when attempting to connect to the Access Manager resource, then check for incorrect or missing configuration data.

Also, check the jar file for the class indicated by the java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError. Prepend the classpath of the jar file containing the class to the JAVA classpath on the applicaton server.

Check that the CfgDir contains all the data outlined in Step 6 and that all the configuration properties have been assigned correctly.

See Sun Access Manager Resource Adapter for more information about preparing Identity Manager for this resource.

Installing and Configuring Sun Java System Access Manager (Versions 7.0 and Later)

Refer to the “Resource Configuration Notes” and “Identity Manager Installation Notes” sections of the Sun Access Manager Realm adapter (more...) for information about setting up an adapter that supports Access Manager 7 in legacy mode.

Installing and Configuring the Policy Agent

You must install the appropriate Access Manager Policy Agent on the Identity Manager server. The Policy Agent can be obtained from the following location:

http://wwws.sun.com/software/download/inter_ecom.html#dirserv

Follow the installation instructions provided with the Policy Agent. Then perform the following tasks.

Edit the AMAgent.properties File

The AMAgent.properties file must be modified so that Identity Manager can be protected. It is located the following directory:

Windows: \AgentInstallDir\es6\config\_PathInstanceName\

UNIX: /etc/opt/SUNWam/agents/es6/config/_PathInstanceName/

Be sure to use the files located the preceding directories. Do not use the copy located in the AgentInstallDir\config directory.

Locate the following lines in the AMAgent.properties file.

com.sun.identity.agents.config.cookie.reset.enable = false
com.sun.identity.agents.config.cookie.reset.name[0] =
com.sun.identity.agents.config.cookie.reset.domain[] =
com.sun.identity.agents.config.cookie.reset.path[] =

Edit these lines as follows.

com.sun.identity.agents.config.cookie.reset.enable = true
com.sun.identity.agents.config.cookie.reset.name[0] = AMAuthCookie
com.sun.identity.agents.config.cookie.reset.domain[0] = .example.com
com.sun.identity.agents.config.cookie.reset.path[0] = /

Add the following lines.

com.sun.identity.agents.config.cookie.reset.name[1] = iPlanetDirectoryPro
com.sun.identity.agents.config.cookie.reset.domain[1] = .example.com
com.sun.identity.agents.config.cookie.reset.path[1] = /

Locate the following linesl.

com.sun.identity.agents.config.profile.attribute.fetch.mode = NONE
com.sun.identity.agents.config.profile.attribute.mapping[] =

Edit these lines as follows

com.sun.identity.agents.config.profile.attribute.fetch.mode = HTTP_HEADER
com.sun.identity.agents.config.profile.attribute.mapping[uid] = sois_user

You must restart the web server for your changes to take effect.

Create a Policy in Access Manager

From within the Access Manager application, create a new policy named IDMGR (or something similar) with the following rules:

Service Type

Resource Name

Actions

URL Policy Agent

http://server:port/idm

Allow GET and POST actions

URL Policy Agent

http://server:port/idm/*

Allow GET and POST actions

Assign one or more subjects to the IDMGR policy.

Identity Manager Installation Notes

This section provides installation and configuration notes for the Sun Access Manager resource adapter and the Policy Agent.

Sun Access Manager Resource Adapter

If the Access Manager is installed on a different system than the Identity Manager server, then perform the procedure described in Installing and Configuring Sun Java System Access Manager (Versions Prior to Access Manager 7.0).

Otherwise, copy the AccessMgrHome/lib/am_*.jar files to $WSHOME/WEB-INF/lib. If you are using version 6.0, also copy the jss311.jar file to the $WSHOME/WEB-INF/lib directory.

After the files have been copied, add the Access Manager resource to the Identity Manager resources list, you must add the following value in the Custom Resources section of the Configure Managed Resources page.

com.waveset.adapter.SunAccessManagerResourceAdapter

Policy Agent

You must modify the administrator and user login modules so that the Access Manager login modules are listed first.

Note

A Access Manager resource must be configured before performing this procedure:

From the Identity Manager Administrator Interface menu bar, select Security.

Click the Login tab.

Click the Manage Login Module Groups button, located at the bottom of the page.

Select the Login Module to modify. For example, select Default Identity System ID/Pwd Login Module Group.

In the Assign Login Module select box, select Sun Access Manager Login Module.

When a new Select option displays next to the Assign Login Module option, select the appropriate resource.

When the Modify Login Module page displays, edit the displayed fields as needed, and then click Save. The Modify Login Module Group is displayed again.

Specify Sun Access Manager Login Module as the first resource in the module group, and then click Save.

Usage Notes

If you are running Identity Manager under WebLogic, and native changes made in Access Manager do not appear in Identity Manager, add am_services.jar in the classpath before weblogic.jar.

To set the protocol handler when you have more than one:

java.protocol.handler.pkgs=com.iplanet.services.comm|sun.net.
www.protocol
