File in the Installation Media Directory | Description |
---|---|
xml\oimOIDUser.xml |
This XML file contains definitions for the following components of the connector:
|
xml\oimUser.xml |
This XML file contains the configuration for the Xellerate User. You must import this file only if you plan to use the connector in trusted source reconciliation mode. |
lib\xliOID.jar |
This JAR file contains the class files required for provisioning and reconciliation. |
Files in the Batch\custom directory |
When you run the custom.bat file, a required object class and an attribute are added to the existing Oracle Internet Directory schema.
Refer to the "Step 2: Configuring the Target System" section for more information. |
Files in the resources directory |
Each of these files contains locale-specific information that is used by the connector. |
Files in the troubleshoot directory |
These files are used to perform basic tests on the connector, even before Oracle Identity Manager and the application server are installed. |

This guide, which provides instructions to deploy the connector. |
Note: The files in thetroubleshoot directory are used only to run tests on the connector. |
The "Step 3: Copying the Connector Files and External Code" section provides instructions to copy these files into the required directories.
You can determine the release number of the connector at any of the following stages:
Before Deployment
To determine the release number of the connector before you deploy it:
Extract the contents of the xliOID.jar
file. This file is in the lib
directory inside the installation media directory.
Open the manifest.mf
file in a text editor, which is one of the files bundled inside the xliOID.jar
file.
In the manifest.mf
file, the release number of the connector is displayed as the value of the Version
property.
Note: If you maintain a copy of thexliOID.jar file after deployment, you can use this method to determine the release number of the connector at any stage. However, after you deploy the connector, it is recommended that you use the After Deployment method. |
During Deployment
To determine the release number of the connector while deploying the connector, refer to Step 4 of the procedure described in the "Step 5: Importing the Connector XML Files" section .
After Deployment
To determine the release number of the connector after deploying the connector:
