xellerate_home\xellerate\docs

After you copy the connector files, copy the following files into the java_installation\jre\lib\ext directory:

Here, java_installation is the JDK directory used for Oracle Identity Manager and lotus_home is the directory in which IBM Lotus Notes and Domino is installed.

Step 3: Importing the Connector XML File

To import the connector XML file into Oracle Identity Manager:

  1. Open the Oracle Identity Manager Administrative and User Console.

  2. Click the Deployment Management link on the left navigation bar.

  3. Click the Import link under Deployment Management. A dialog box for locating files is displayed.

  4. Locate and open the xlLotusNotesConnector.xml file, which is in the xellerate_home\xlclient directory. Details of this XML file are shown on the File Preview page.

  5. Click Add File. The Substitutions page is displayed.

  6. Click Next. The Confirmation page is displayed.

  7. Click Next. The Provide IT Resource Instance Data page for the LotusNotes IT resource is displayed.

  8. Specify values for the parameters of the LotusNotes IT resource. Refer to the table in the "Defining IT Resources" section for information about the values to be specified.

  9. Click Next. The Provide IT Resource Instance Data page for a new instance of the Lotus Notes IT resource type is displayed.

  10. Click Skip to specify that you do not want to define another IT resource. The Confirmation page is displayed.

    See Also:

    If you want to define another IT resource, then refer to Oracle Identity Manager Tools Reference Guide for instructions.
  11. Click View Selections.

    The contents of the XML file are displayed on the Import page. You may see a cross-shaped icon along with some nodes. You must remove these nodes. To do this, right-click each such node and then select Remove.

  12. Click Import. The connector XML file is imported into Oracle Identity Manager.

  13. If you plan to use the connector in trusted source reconciliation mode, then perform the same procedure to import the xlLotusNotes_XellerateUser.xml file. This file is in the xellerate_home\xlclient directory.

    Caution:

    Only one connector can be configured as a trusted source. If you import the xlLotusNotes_XellerateUser.xml file while you have another trusted source configured, then both connector reconciliations would stop working.

After you import the connector XML file, proceed to the "Step 4: Configuring Reconciliation" section.

Step 4: Configuring Reconciliation

Configuring reconciliation involves creating scheduled tasks for lookup fields and user reconciliations. To create these scheduled tasks:

  1. Open the Oracle Identity Manager Design Console.

  2. Expand the Xellerate Administration folder.

  3. Select Task Scheduler.

  4. Click Find. The details of the predefined scheduled tasks are displayed on two different tabs.

  5. Enter a number in the Max Retries field. This number represents the number of times Oracle Identity Manager should attempt to complete the task before assigning the ERROR status to the task.

  6. Ensure that the Disabled and Stop Execution check boxes are cleared.

  7. In the Start region, double-click the Start Time field. From the date-time editor that is displayed, select the date and time at which you want the task to run.

  8. In the Interval region, set the following schedule parameters:

    • To set the task to run on a recurring basis, select the Daily, Weekly, Recurring Intervals, Monthly, or Yearly option.

      If you select the Recurring Intervals option, then you must also specify the time interval at which you want the task to run on a recurring basis.

    • To set the task to run only once, select the Once option.

  9. Provide values for the attributes of the scheduled task. Refer to the appropriate table in the "Specifying Values for the Scheduled Task Attributes"section for information about the values to be specified.

    See Also:

    Oracle Identity Manager Design Console Guide for information about adding and removing task attributes
  10. Click Save. The scheduled task is created. The INACTIVE status is displayed in the Status field, because the task is not currently running. The task is run at the date and time that you set in Step 7.

  11. Repeat Steps 5 through 10 to create the second scheduled task.

After you create both scheduled tasks, proceed to the "Step 5: Compiling Adapters" section.

Specifying Values for the Scheduled Task Attributes

This section provides information about the values to be specified for the following scheduled tasks:

Lookup Fields Reconciliation Scheduled Task

You must specify values for the following attributes of the lookup fields reconciliation scheduled task.

Note:

Attribute values are predefined in the connector XML file that you import. Specify values only for those attributes that you want to change.
Attribute Name Description Default/Sample Value
TargetRO Name of the resource object LOTUSRO
ServerName Name of the IT resource instance that the connector uses to reconcile data LotusNotes
LookupFieldName Name of the group lookup field that is to be reconciled LookUp.Lotus.GroupList

After you specify values for these task attributes, go to Step 10 of the procedure to create scheduled tasks.

User Reconciliation Scheduled Task

You must specify values for the following attributes of the user reconciliation scheduled task.

Note:

Attribute values are predefined in the connector XML file that you import. Specify values only for those attributes that you want to change.
Attribute Name Description Default/Sample Value
TargetRO Name of the resource object LOTUSRO
ServerName Name of the IT resource instance that the connector uses to reconcile data LotusNotes
IsTrusted Specifies the mode of reconciliation, trusted or nontrusted YES or NO

The default value is NO.

Ensure that the value of the parameter that you select is unique for each IBM Lotus Notes and Domino user.

Notes.LastName or Notes.ShortName
Notes.XellerateOrganisation Default value for the Oracle Identity Manager Organization name

This value is used to create the Xellerate User in trusted mode.

Xellerate Users

After you specify values for these task attributes, go to Step 10 of the procedure to create scheduled tasks.

Step 5: Compiling Adapters

The following adapters are imported into Oracle Identity Manager when you import the connector XML file. You must compile these adapters before you can use them to provision accounts on the target system.

To compile adapters by using the Adapter Manager form:

  1. Open the Adapter Manager form.

  2. To compile all the adapters that you import into the current database, select the Compile All option.

    To compile multiple (but not all) adapters, select the adapters you want to compile. Then, select the Compile Selected option.

  3. Click Start. Oracle Identity Manager compiles the adapters that you specify.

To view detailed information about an adapter:

  1. Highlight the adapter in the Adapter Manager form.

  2. Double-click the row header of the adapter, or right-click the adapter.

  3. Select Launch Adapter from the shortcut menu that is displayed. Details of the adapter are displayed.

Note:

To compile multiple adapters simultaneously, use the Adapter Manager form. To compile one adapter at a time, use the Adapter Factory form. Refer to Oracle Identity Manager Tools Reference Guide for information about how to use these forms.

Step 6: Configuring SSL

Note:

This is an optional step of the deployment procedure. For more information about this procedure, refer to

http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/lotus/library/ls-Java_access_2/

To set up SSL connectivity between Oracle Identity Manager and the IBM Lotus Notes and Domino server:

  1. Ensure that the Domino IIOP (DIIOP) and HTTP tasks are running on the IBM Lotus Notes and Domino server for SSL communication.

  2. On the IBM Lotus Notes and Domino server, create a key ring using the Server Certificate Admin (certsrv.nsf) database. Move the two key ring files, keyfile.kyr and keyfile.sth, to the data directory of the server.

  3. Restart the DIIOP task to generate a file named TrustedCerts.class in the IBM Lotus Notes and Domino data directory. The following is the path of the data directory:

    lotus_home\Lotus\Domino\Data
    
    

    Here, lotus_home is the directory in which IBM Lotus Notes and Domino is installed.

  4. Package the TrustedCerts.class file in the TrustedCerts.jar file.

  5. Move the TrustedCerts.jar file to the java_installation\jre\lib\ext directory on the Oracle Identity Manager server.
