2 Deploying the Connector

Deploying the connector involves the following steps:

• Step 1: Verifying Deployment Requirements

• Step 2: Copying the Connector Files

• Step 3: Configuring the Target System

• Step 4: Configuring the Oracle Identity Manager Server

• 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 systems	Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 server
Infrastructure requirements	An additional computer running any one of the following: Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional Microsoft Windows 2000 Server Microsoft Windows NT This computer is meant for use as a file server.

Step 2: 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 Systems\Microsoft Windows\Microsoft WindowsNT4 Rev 2.1.1.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\WindowsNT4Object_DM.xml	xellerate_home\xellerate\XLIntegrations\WindowsNT4\xml
lib\xliWindowsNT4.jar	xellerate_home\xellerate\Javatasks
dll\tcWindowsNT40.dll	xellerate_home\xellerate\XLIntegrations\WindowsNT4\lib
The following contents of the docs directory: B31123_01.pdf html	xellerate_home\xellerate\XLIntegrations\WindowsNT4\docs

Step 3: Configuring the Target System

Configuring the target system involves setting up a trust relationship between the domain of the Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 server and the domain of the Oracle Identity Manager server.

Step 4: Configuring the Oracle Identity Manager Server

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\WindowsNT4\dll

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 WindowsNT4Object_DM.xml file, which is in the xellerate_home\xellerate\XLIntegrations\WindowsNT4\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 NT Server IT resource is displayed.

8. Specify values for the parameters of the NT 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 NT Server IT resource type is displayed.

10. Click Skip to specify that you do not want to define another IT resource of the NT Server IT resource type. The Provide IT Resource Instance Data page for the NT File Server IT resource is displayed.

    See Also:

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

11. Specify values for the parameters of the NT File Server IT resource. Refer to the table in the "Defining IT Resources" section for information about the values to be specified.

12. Click Next. The Provide IT Resource Instance Data page for a new instance of the NT File Server IT resource type is displayed.

13. 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.

14. 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.

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

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

Defining IT Resources

The following sections provide values for parameters of the following predefined IT resources:

• NT Server

• NT File Server

NT Server

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

Parameter Name	Parameter Description
Computer Name	Host name or IP address of the target Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 server
Domain Admin UserID	User ID of the administrator account that is used to create users on the Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 server Sample value: administrator
Domain Admin Password	Password of the administrator account that is used to create users on the Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 server Sample value: password
Domain Name	Domain of the Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 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.

NT File Server

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

Parameter Name	Parameter Description
AdminName	User ID of the administrator account on the Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 server, through which users will be created Sample value: administrator
AdminPassword	Password of the administrator account on the Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 server, through which users will be created Sample value: password
ComputerName	Host name or IP address of the target Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 server Sample value: 192.168.15.79
DomainName	Domain of the Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 server Sample value: DOMAIN

After you specify values for these IT resource parameters, go to Step 12 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.

• NTDeleteUser

• NTCreateUser

• NTSetFullName

• NTUpdateShareName

• NT set expiration date

• NT set must change password

• NT set user flag

• NT Add to Group

• NTDisableUser

• NTSetSharePath

• NTSetPassword

• NTSetUserDescription

• NT Rename User

• NT Create Share

• NTEnableUser

• NT add user to share

• NT set home drive and directory

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.
