2 Deploying the Connector

Deploying the connector involves the following steps:

• Step 1: Verifying Deployment Requirements

• Step 2: Configuring the Target System

• Step 3: Configuring the Oracle Identity Manager Server

• Step 4: Copying the Connector Files

• Step 5: Importing the Connector XML File

• Step 6: Compiling Adapters

Step 1: Verifying Deployment Requirements

The following table lists the deployment requirements for the connector.

Item	Requirement
Oracle Identity Manager	Oracle Identity Manager release 8.5.3 or later
Target system	Microsoft Windows 2000
Infrastructure requirements	An additional computer running one of the following: Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional Microsoft Windows 2000 Server This computer is meant for use as a file server.
Other applications	Microsoft Active Directory

Step 2: Configuring the Target System

To configure the target system:

1. Ensure that Microsoft Active Directory is installed on the target Microsoft Windows 2000 server.

2. Configure the file server and the target Microsoft Windows 2000 server on the domain on which you install Microsoft Active directory.

Step 3: Configuring the Oracle Identity Manager Server

For configuring the Oracle Identity Manager server, perform the following steps:

1. Deploy the Microsoft Active Directory connector before you can deploy and use the Microsoft Windows 2000 connector. In addition, the Microsoft Windows 2000 user account should be provisioned only to an Xellerate User who already has a Microsoft Active Directory user account provisioned.

   You must deploy the connector for Microsoft Active Directory in the following directory:

   xellerate_home\xellerate\XLIntegrations\ActiveDirectory
   
   

   See Also:

   Oracle Identity Manager Connector Guide for Microsoft Active Directory

2. Edit the following file:

   xellerate_home\xellerate\bin\xlStartServer.bat
   
   

   In this file, add the following line at the start:

   SET PATH=xellerate_home\xellerate\XLIntegrations\Windows2000\dll
   
   

Step 4: Copying the Connector Files

The connector files to be copied and the directories to which you must copy them are given in the following table.

Note:

The directory paths given in the first column of this table correspond to the location of the connector files in the following ZIP file on the installation media:

Operating System\Microsoft Windows\Microsoft Windows 2000 Rev 2.1.0.zip

Refer to "Files and Directories That Comprise the Connector" for more information about these files.

File in the Installation Media Directory	Destination Directory
xml\Windows2000Object_DM.xml	xellerate_home\xellerate\XLIntegrations\Microsoft Windows 2000\xml
lib\xliWindowsNT4.jar	xellerate_home\xellerate\Javatasks
dll\tcWindowsNT40.dll	xellerate_home\xellerate\XLIntegrations\Microsoft Windows 2000\dll
The following contents of the docs directory: B31122_01.pdf html	xellerate_home\xellerate\XLIntegrations\Microsoft Windows 2000\docs

Step 5: 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 Windows2000Object_DM.xml file, which is in the xellerate_home\xellerate\XLIntegrations\Microsoft Windows 2000\xml 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 W2K File Server IT resource is displayed.

8. Specify values for the parameters of the W2K File Server 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 W2K File Server 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.

After you import the connector XML files, proceed to the "Step 6: Compiling Adapters" section.

Defining IT Resources

You must specify values for the W2K File Server IT resource parameters listed in the following table.

Parameter Name	Parameter Description
AdminName	User ID of the admin user on the Microsoft Windows 2000 computer that is used as the file server Sample value: administrator
AdminPassword	Password of the admin user on the Microsoft Windows 2000 computer that is used as the file server Sample value: password
ComputerName	Host name or the IP address of the Microsoft Windows 2000 computer that is used as the file server
DomainName	Domain of the Microsoft Windows 2000 computer that is used as the file server Sample value: DOMAIN

After you specify values for these IT resource parameters, go to Step 9 of the procedure to import connector XML files.

Step 6: 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.

• Win2K Create Directory

• Win2K Delete Share

• Win2K Target Server Update

• Win2K Add User To Folder

• Win2K Target Server Update

• Win2K Update File Server

• Win2K Update Share Path

• Win2K Remove User From Folder

• Win2K Delete User Share Directory

• Win2K Chk Process User

• Win2K Create Share

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.
