2 Deploying the Connector

Deploying the connector involves the following steps:

Step 1: Verifying Deployment Requirements

The following table lists the installation requirements for the connector.

Item Requirement
Oracle Identity Manager Oracle Identity Manager release 8.5.3 or later
Target systems RSA ClearTrust 5.5 or 5.52
External code The following files from the directory in which RSA ClearTrust is installed:
ct_admin_api.jar
ct_runtime_api.jar
cleartrust.jar

Target system user account RSA ClearTrust administrator account

You provide the credentials of this user account while performing the procedure in the "Defining IT Resources" section.


Step 2: Copying the Connector Files and External Code Files

The files to be copied and the directories to which you must copy them are given in the following table.

Note:

For the connector files, 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:
Web Access Control/RSA ClearTrust

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

Connector File/External Code File Destination Directory
lib/xliClearTrust.jar

OIM_home/xellerate/JavaTasks
OIM_home/xellerate/ScheduleTask

Files in the resources directory on the installation media
OIM_home/xellerate/connectorResources
Files and directories in the tests directory on the installation media
OIM_home/xellerate/tests
Files in the xml directory on the installation media
OIM_home/xellerate/XLIntegrations/ClearTrust/xml
The following files from the ClearTrust_installation_dir/lib directory:
ct_admin_api.jar
ct_runtime_api.jar
cleartrust.jar

OIM_home/ThirdParty
The following files in the ClearTrust_installation_dir/lib/ directory:
ct_admin_api.jar
ct_runtime_api.jar
OIM_home/xellerate/ext

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 3: Configuring the Oracle Identity Manager Server

Note:

In this guide, the term Oracle Identity Manager server refers to the computer on which Oracle Identity Manager is installed.

This section discusses the following topics:

Note:

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

Changing to the Required Input Locale

Changing to the required input locale (language and country setting) involves installing the required fonts and setting the required input locale.

You may require the assistance of the system administrator to change to the required input locale.

Clearing Content Related to Connector Resource Bundles from the Server Cache

While performing the instructions described in the "Step 2: Copying the Connector Files and External Code Files" section, you copy files from the resources directory on the installation media into the OIM_home/xellerate/connectorResources directory. Whenever you add a new resource bundle in the 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.

    Note:

    You must perform Step 1 before you perform Step 2. If you run the command described in Step 2 as follows, then an exception is thrown:
    OIM_home/xellerate/bin/batch_file_name
    
  2. Enter one of the following commands:

    • On Microsoft Windows:

      PurgeCache.bat ConnectorResourceBundle
      
      
    • On UNIX:

      PurgeCache.sh ConnectorResourceBundle
      

    Note:

    You can ignore the exception that is thrown when you perform Step 2.

    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
    

Enabling Logging

When you enable logging, Oracle Identity Manager automatically stores in a log file information about events that occur during the course of provisioning and reconciliation operations. To specify the type of event for which you want logging to take place, you can set the log level to one of the following:

  • ALL

    This level enables logging for all events.

  • DEBUG

    This level enables logging of information about fine-grained events that are useful for debugging.

  • INFO

    This level enables logging of informational messages that highlight the progress of the application at coarse-grained level.

  • WARN

    This level enables logging of information about potentially harmful situations.

  • ERROR

    This level enables logging of information about error events that may still allow the application to continue running.

  • FATAL

    This level enables logging of information about very severe error events that could cause the application to stop functioning.

  • OFF

    This level disables logging for all events.

The file in which you set the log level and the log file path depend on the application server that you use:

  • BEA WebLogic

    To enable logging:

    1. Add the following lines in the OIM_home/xellerate/config/log.properties file:

      log4j.logger.XELLERATE=log_level
      log4j.logger.ADAPTERS.CTINTEGRATION=log_level
      
      
    2. In these lines, replace log_level with the log level that you want to set.

      For example:

      log4j.logger.XELLERATE=INFO
      log4j.logger.ADAPTERS.CTINTEGRATION=INFO
      
      

    After you enable logging, the log information is written to the following file:

    WebLogic_home/user_projects/domains/domain_name/server_name/server_name.log
    
    
  • IBM WebSphere

    To enable logging:

    1. Add the following lines in the OIM_home/xellerate/config/log.properties file:

      log4j.logger.XELLERATE=log_level
      log4j.logger.ADAPTERS.CTINTEGRATION=log_level
      
      
    2. In these lines, replace log_level with the log level that you want to set.

      For example:

      log4j.logger.XELLERATE=INFO
      log4j.logger.ADAPTERS.CTINTEGRATION=INFO
      
      

    After you enable logging, the log information is written to the following file:

    WebSphere_home/AppServer/logs/server_name/startServer.log
    
    
  • JBoss Application Server

    To enable logging:

    1. In the JBoss_home/server/default/conf/log4j.xml file, locate or add the following lines:

      <category name="XELLERATE">
         <priority value="log_level"/>
      </category>
      
      
      <category name="ADAPTERS.CTINTEGRATION">
         <priority value="log_level"/>
      </category>
      
      
    2. In the second XML code line of each set, replace log_level with the log level that you want to set. For example:

      <category name="XELLERATE">
         <priority value="INFO"/>
      </category>
      
      
      <category name="ADAPTERS.CTINTEGRATION">
         <priority value="INFO"/>
      </category>
      
      

    After you enable logging, the log information is written to the following file:

    JBoss_home/server/default/log/server.log
    
    
  • OC4J

    To enable logging:

    1. Add the following lines in the OIM_home/xellerate/config/log.properties file:

      log4j.logger.XELLERATE=log_level
      log4j.logger.ADAPTERS.CTINTEGRATION=log_level
      
      
    2. In these lines, replace log_level with the log level that you want to set.

      For example:

      log4j.logger.XELLERATE=INFO
      log4j.logger.ADAPTERS.CTINTEGRATION=INFO
      
      

    After you enable logging, the log information is written to the following file:

    OC4J_home/opmn/logs/default_group~home~default_group~1.log
    

Step 4: Importing the Connector XML Files

As mentioned in the "Files and Directories That Comprise the Connector" section, the connector XML files contains definitions of the components of the connector. By importing the connector XML files, you create these components in Oracle Identity Manager.

You must import the connector XML files into Oracle Identity Manager in the following sequence:

  1. XLIClearTrust_DM.xml

  2. XLIClearTrustEntityAdp_DM.xml

  3. XLICTAutoSaveAdapter_DM.xml

  4. XLIClearTrustScheduleTask_DM.xml

Caution:

If you do not import the connector XML files in the specified order, then the connector may not work.

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 XLIClearTrust_DM.xml file, which is in the OIM_home/xellerate/XLIntegrations/ClearTrust/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 ClearTrust IT resource is displayed.

  8. Specify values for the parameters of the ClearTrust 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 ClearTrust 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. These nodes represent Oracle Identity Manager entities that are redundant. Before you import the connector XML file, you must remove these entities by right-clicking each node and then selecting Remove.

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

  13. Perform the same procedure to import the remaining connector XML files. These files are in the OIM_home/xellerate/XLIntegrations/ClearTrust/xml directory.

After you import the connector XML files, proceed to the next chapter.
