1 About the Connector

Oracle Identity Manager automates access rights management, security, and provisioning of IT resources. Oracle Identity Manager connectors are used to integrate Oracle Identity Manager with third-party applications. The connector for Microsoft Windows 2000 is used to integrate Oracle Identity Manager with Microsoft Windows 2000.

Note:

Oracle Identity Manager connectors were referred to as resource adapters prior to the acquisition of Thor Technologies by Oracle.

Provisioning Module

Provisioning involves creating or modifying a user's account information on the target system through Oracle Identity Manager. You use the Administrative and User Console to perform provisioning operations.

See Also:

The "Deployment Configurations of Oracle Identity Manager" section in Oracle Identity Manager Connector Framework Guide for conceptual information about provisioning

For this target system, the following fields are provisioned:

• New Share Path

• Full Control

• Change

• Read

• Share Path

• Write

• None

Files and Directories That Comprise the Connector

The files and directories that comprise this connector are compressed in the following directory on the installation media:

Operating Systems/Microsoft Windows 2000

These files and directories are listed in the following table.

File in the Installation Media Directory	Description
dll/tcWindowsNT40.dll	This DLL file contains the native code required for provisioning directories on a Microsoft Windows 2000/2003 server.
lib/xliWindowsNT4.jar	This JAR file contains the class files required for provisioning.
Files in the resources directory	Each of these resource bundle files contains language-specific information that is used by the connector. Note: A resource bundle is a file containing localized versions of the text strings that are displayed on the user interface of Oracle Identity Manager. These text strings include GUI element labels and messages displayed on the Administrative and User Console.
test/config/config.properties	This file contains the attributes for Oracle Identity Manager to connect to the target system and perform provisioning operations.
test/config/debug.properties	This file contains the debug parameter that you use to specify whether or not the connecter must run in debug mode.
test/scripts/runWindowsTest.bat test/scripts/runWindowsTest.sh	This file is used to start the testing utility.
xml/Windows2000Object_DM.xml	This XML file contains definitions for the following components of the connector: IT resource type Custom process form Process task and adapters (along with their mappings) Resource object Provisioning process Pre-populate rules Reconciliation process Lookup definitions

Note:

The files in the test directory are used only to run tests on the connector.

The "Step 3: Copying the Connector Files" section provides instructions to copy these files into the required directories.

Determining the Release Number of the Connector

You can use any one of the following methods to determine the release number of the connector.

Before Deployment

To determine the release number of a connector:

1. Extract the contents of the xliWindowsNT4.jar file. This file is in the following directory on the installation media:

   Operating Systems/Microsoft Windows 2000/lib
   
   

2. Open the manifest.mf file in a text editor. The manifest.mf file is one of the files bundled inside the xliWindowsNT4.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 the xliWindowsNT4.jar file after deployment, you can use this method to determine the release number of the connector at any stage. After you deploy the connector, it is recommended that you use the "After Deployment" method, which is described in the following section.

After Deployment

To determine the release number of a connector that has already been deployed:
