Deploying the connector involves the following steps:
If you want to configure the connector for multiple installations of Microsoft Windows 2000, then perform the following procedure:
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 | The target system can be any one of the following:
|
Infrastructure requirements | An additional computer running any one of the following operating systems:
This computer is meant for use as a file server. |
Other applications | Microsoft Active Directory |
Target system user account | Microsoft Windows 2000 File Server administrator
You provide the credentials of this user account while performing the procedure in the "Defining IT Resources" section. |
To configure the target system:
Ensure that Microsoft Active Directory is installed on the target Microsoft Windows 2000 server.
Configure the file server and the target Microsoft Windows 2000 server on the domain on which you install Microsoft Active directory.
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 2.2.0.zip Refer to the "Files and Directories That Comprise the Connector" section for more information about these files. |
Note: While installing Oracle Identity Manager in a clustered environment, you copy the contents of the installation directory to each node of the cluster. Similarly, you must copy theconnectorResources directory and the JAR files to the corresponding directories on each node of the cluster. |
To configure the Oracle Identity Manager server:
Note: In a clustered environment, you must perform this step on each node of the cluster. |
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 must 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:
OIM_home\xellerate\XLIntegrations\ActiveDirectory
See Also: Oracle Identity Manager Connector Guide for Microsoft Active Directory |
Edit the following file:
OIM_home\xellerate\bin\xlStartServer.bat
Add the following line at the start of this file:
SET PATH=OIM_home\xellerate\XLIntegrations\Windows2000\dll
Change to the required input locale as follows:
Open Control Panel.
Double-click Regional Options.
On the Input Locales tab of the Regional Options dialog box, add the input locale that you want to use and then switch to the input locale.
Clear the server cache.
Whenever you add a new resource bundle file in the OIM_home
\xellerate\connectorResources
directory or make a change in an existing resource bundle file, you must clear content related to connector resource bundles from the server cache.
To clear content related to connector resource bundles from the server cache:
In a command window, change to the OIM_home
\xellerate\bin
directory.
Enter one of the following commands:
Note: You must perform Step 1 before you perform this step. If you run the command as follows, then an exception is thrown:OIM_home\xellerate\bin\batch_file_name |
On Microsoft Windows:
PurgeCache.bat ConnectorResourceBundle
On UNIX:
PurgeCache.sh ConnectorResourceBundle
In this command, ConnectorResourceBundle
is one of the content categories that you can remove from the server cache. Refer to the following file for information about the other content categories:
OIM_home\xellerate\config\xlConfig.xml
Note: You can ignore the exception that is thrown when you perform Step 2. |
To import the connector XML file into Oracle Identity Manager:
Open the Oracle Identity Manager Administrative and User Console.
Click the Deployment Management link on the left navigation bar.
Click the Import link under Deployment Management. A dialog box for locating files is displayed.
Locate and open the Windows2000Object_DM.xml
file, which is in the OIM_home
\xellerate\XLIntegrations\Microsoft Windows 2000\xml
directory. Details of this XML file are shown on the File Preview page.
Click Add File. The Substitutions page is displayed.
Click Next. The Confirmation page is displayed.
Click Next. The Provide IT Resource Instance Data page for the W2K File Server
IT resource is displayed.
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.
Click Next. The Provide IT Resource Instance Data page for a new instance of the W2K File Server
IT resource type is displayed.
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. |
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. Remove these nodes by right-clicking each node and then selecting Remove.
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.
You must specify values for the W2K File Server
IT resource parameters listed in the following table.
Parameter | Parameter Description |
---|---|
AdminName |
User ID of the admin user on the Microsoft Windows 2000 computer that is used as the file server |
AdminPassword |
Password of the admin user on the Microsoft Windows 2000 computer that is used as the file server |
ComputerName |
Host name or 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 |
After you specify values for these IT resource parameters, proceed to Step 9 of the procedure to import connector XML files.
The following adapters are imported into Oracle Identity Manager when you import the connector XML file:
Win2K Create Directory
Win2K Delete Share
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
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:
To compile all the adapters that you import into the current database, select Compile All.
To compile multiple (but not all) adapters, select the adapters you want to compile. Then, select Compile Selected.
Note: Click Compile Previously Failed to recompile only those adapters that were not compiled successfully. Such adapters do not have anOK compilation status. |
Click Start. Oracle Identity Manager compiles the selected adapters.
If Oracle Identity Manager is installed in a clustered environment, then copy the compiled adapters from the OIM_home
\xellerate\Adapter
directory to the same directory on each of the other nodes of the cluster. If required, overwrite the adapter files on the other nodes. Then, restart each node.
To view detailed information about an adapter:
Note: Perform this procedure only if you want to configure the connector for multiple installations of Microsoft Windows 2000. Refer to Oracle Identity Manager Design Console Guide for detailed instructions on performing each step of this procedure. |
To configure the connector for multiple installations of the target system:
Create and configure one IT resource for each target system installation.
The IT Resources form is in the Resource Management folder. An IT resource is created when you import the connector XML file. You can use this IT resource as the template for creating the remaining IT resources, of the same resource type.
If required, modify the fields to be reconciled for the Xellerate User resource object.
When you use the Administrative and User Console to perform provisioning, you can specify the IT resource corresponding to the Microsoft Windows 2000 installation to which you want to provision the user.
