If you want to configure the connector for multiple installations of Microsoft Windows 2000, then perform the following procedure:

• Configuring the Connector for Multiple Installations of the Target System

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	The target system can be any one of the following: Microsoft Windows 2000 Microsoft Windows 2003
Infrastructure requirements	An additional computer running any one of the following operating systems: Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional Microsoft Windows 2000 Server 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.

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: 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 directory on the installation media:

Operating Systems\Microsoft Windows 2000

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

File in the Installation Media Directory	Destination Directory
dll\tcWindowsNT40.dll	OIM_home\xellerate\XLIntegrations\Microsoft Windows 2000\dll For Oracle Containers for J2EE (OC4J), you must also copy this file into the following directory: OC4J_home\bin For example: C:\product\10.1.3.1\OracleAS_1\BIN For BEA WebLogic, you must also copy this file into the following directory: WebLogic_home\server\bin For example: C:\WebLogic\weblogic81\server\bin
lib\xliWindowsNT4.jar	OIM_home\xellerate\JavaTasks OIM_home\xellerate\ScheduleTask
Files in the resources directory	OIM_home\xellerate\connectorResources
xml\Windows2000Object_DM.xml	OIM_home\xellerate\XLIntegrations\Microsoft Windows 2000\xml

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 the connectorResources directory and the JAR files to the corresponding directories on each node of the cluster.

Step 4: Configuring the Oracle Identity Manager Server

To configure the Oracle Identity Manager server:

Note:

In a clustered environment, you must perform this step on each node of the cluster.

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 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

2. 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
   
   

3. Change to the required input locale as follows:

   1. Open Control Panel.

   2. Double-click Regional Options.

   3. 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.

4. Clear the server cache.

Clearing Content Related to Connector Resource Bundles from the Server Cache

Whenever you add a new resource bundle in the OIM_home\xellerate\connectorResources directory or make a change in an existing resource bundle, 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:

1. In a command window, change to the OIM_home\xellerate\bin directory.

2. 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.

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 OIM_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. Remove these nodes by right-clicking each node and then selecting 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	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.

Step 6: Compiling Adapters

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:

1. Open the Adapter Manager form.

2. 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 an OK compilation status.

3. Click Start. Oracle Identity Manager compiles the selected adapters.

4. 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.

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 one adapter at a time, use the Adapter Factory form. Refer to Oracle Identity Manager Tools Reference Guide for information about using the Adapter Factory and Adapter Manager forms.

Configuring the Connector for Multiple Installations of the Target System

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:

1. 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.

2. 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.
