If all three tasks of the connector installation process are successful, then a message indicating successful installation is displayed. In addition, a list of the steps that you must perform after the installation is displayed. These steps are as follows:
Ensuring that the prerequisites for using the connector are addressed
Note:
At this stage, run the Oracle Identity Manager PurgeCache utility to load the server cache with content from the connector resource bundle in order to view the list of prerequisites. See Section 2.6.3, "Clearing Content Related to Connector Resource Bundles from the Server Cache" for information about running the PurgeCache utility.
There are no prerequisites for some predefined connectors.
Configuring the IT resource for the connector
Record the name of the IT resource displayed on this page. The procedure to configure the IT resource is described later in this guide.
Configuring the scheduled tasks that are created when you installed the connector
Record the names of the scheduled tasks displayed on this page. The procedure to configure these scheduled tasks is described later in this guide.
When you run the Connector Installer, it copies the connector files and external code files to destination directories on the Oracle Identity Manager host computer. These files are listed in Table 2-1.
Installing the Connector in an Oracle Identity Manager Cluster
While installing Oracle Identity Manager in a clustered environment, you must copy all the JAR files and the contents of the connectorResources directory into the corresponding directories on each node of the cluster. See Section 2.1, "Files and Directories on the Installation Media" for information about the files that you must copy and their destination locations on the Oracle Identity Manager server.
After you run the Connector Installer, you must manually copy the files listed in Table 2-2.
Note:
If a particular destination directory does not exist on the Oracle Identity Manager host computer, then create it.
Table 2-2 Files to Be Copied to the Oracle Identity Manager Host Computer
| Files on the Installation Media | Destination Directory on the Oracle Identity Manager Release 9.1.0.x Host Computer | Destination Directory on the Oracle Identity Manager Release 11.1.1 Host Computer |

To save the values, click Update.
Configuring the target system involves the following steps:
This section discusses the following topics related to Remedy encryption:
To enable encryption and set encryption options, you must include server encryption options in the ar.conf file (UNIX) or the ar.cfg file (Microsoft Windows). You can do this by using a text editor.
You can set the Encrypt-Security-Policy encryption option. This is an integer value that indicates whether or not encryption is enabled. If this option is not in the ar.cfg (or ar.conf) file, then encryption is disabled by default. If encryption is enabled, then you can set encryption to any one of the following values to this option:
0: Encryption is allowed. Clients and servers with or without encryption enabled on them can connect to this AR System server.
1: Encryption is required. Only clients and servers that have encryption enabled on them can connect to this AR System server.
2: Encryption is disallowed. Regardless of whether or not encryption is enabled, clients and servers can communicate without encryption.
The following table explains sample settings for the options that you can add in the ar.conf (or ar.cfg) file.
| Option Settings | Significance |
|---|---|
|
Encrypt-Security-Policy: 1 |
Encryption is required. |
|
Encrypt-Public-Key-Expire: 86400 |
Public key duration is 1 day (86400 seconds). |
|
Encrypt-Symmetric-Data-Key-Expire: 2700 |
Symmetric data encryption key duration is 45 minutes (2700 seconds). |
|
Encrypt-Public-Key-Algorithm: 5 |
Public key encryption key strength is RSA-1024 (Performance Security). |
|
Encrypt-Data-Encryption-Algorithm: 2 |
Symmetric data encryption key strength is RC4 128-bit (Performance Security). |
If you do not set these options, then the default values are used. Defaults for the level of encryption depend on the encryption product that you are using.
To enable Remedy encryption:
Exit or stop all AR System processes that are running.
To do this, open Control Panel, Administrator Tools, and Services. Stop each AR System process that is running.
In the ar.conf file (for UNIX) or the ar.cfg file (for Microsoft Windows), add the Encrypt-Security-Policy option with a setting of 0 (encryption is allowed) or 1 (encryption is required). Add other options in the file as required.
The default UNIX directory for the ar.conf file is AR_INSTALL_DIR/conf. In Microsoft Windows, the ar.cfg file is stored in the AR_INSTALL_DIR\conf directory. Here, AR_INSTALL_DIR is the installation directory for AR System on the AR server.
Caution:
If you set the Encrypt-Security-Policy option to 1 (encryption is required), then communication is not allowed for any server or client that has not been upgraded to use encryption.
Restart the AR System server.
When the AR System server is started, it checks encryption licensing and encryption configuration settings, if encryption is enabled. If the appropriate Remedy Encryption product licenses are not detected or if invalid configuration settings are detected, then one or more of the following error messages are displayed.
If encryption is disabled, then encryption error checking does not occur and encryption errors are bypassed. Error messages are listed in the order in which they are detected.
Configuring Oracle Identity Manager involves the following procedures:
Note:
In a clustered environment, you must perform this step on each node of the cluster.
Section 2.6.3, "Clearing Content Related to Connector Resource Bundles from the Server Cache"
Section 2.6.5, "Configuring Oracle Identity Manager for Request-Based Provisioning"
While configuring the connector, the target system can be designated as a trusted source or a target resource. If you designate the target system as a trusted source, then both newly created and modified user accounts are reconciled in Oracle Identity Manager. If you designate the target system as a target resource, then only modified user accounts are reconciled in Oracle Identity Manager.
Note:
You can skip this section if you do not want to designate the target system as a trusted source for reconciliation.
Configuring trusted source reconciliation involves the following steps:
Import the XML file for trusted source reconciliation, BMCXellerateUser_DM.xml, by using the Deployment Manager. This section describes the procedure to import the XML file.
Note:
Only one target system can be designated as a trusted source. If you import the BMCXellerateUser_DM.xml file while you have another trusted source configured, then both connector reconciliations would stop working.
Specify values for the attributes of the BMC Trusted User Reconciliation scheduled task. This procedure is described later in this guide.
To configure trusted source reconciliation:
Open the Oracle Identity Manager Administrative and User Console.
If you are using Oracle Identity Manager release 9.1.0.x, then:
Click the Deployment Management link on the left navigation bar.
Click the Import link under Deployment Management. A dialog box for opening files is displayed.
If you are using Oracle Identity Manager release 11.1.1, then:
On the Welcome page, click Advanced in the upper-right corner of the page.
On the Welcome to Oracle Identity Manager Advanced Administration page, in the System Management region, click Import Deployment Manager File. A dialog box for opening files is displayed.
Locate and open the BMCXellerateUser_DM.xml file, which is in the installation media. 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 Import.
In the message that is displayed, click Import to confirm that you want to import the XML file and then click OK.
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.
When you deploy the connector, the resource bundles are copied from the resources directory on the installation media into the OIM_HOME/xellerate/connectorResources directory for Oracle Identity Manager release 9.1.0.x, and Oracle Identity Manager database for Oracle Identity Manager release 11.1.1. Whenever you add a new resource bundle to 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:
In a command window, perform one of the following steps:
If you are using Oracle Identity Manager release 9.1.0.x, then switch to the OIM_HOME/xellerate/bin directory.
If you are using Oracle Identity Manager release 11.1.1, then switch to the OIM_HOME/server/bin directory.
Note:
You must perform Step 1 before you perform Step 2. An exception is thrown if you run the command described in Step 2 as follows:
For Oracle Identity Manager release 9.1.0.x:
OIM_HOME/xellerate/bin/SCRIPT_FILE_NAME
For Oracle Identity Manager release 11.1.1:
OIM_HOME/server/bin/SCRIPT_FILE_NAME
Enter one of the following commands:
Note:
You can use the PurgeCache utility to purge the cache for any content category. Run PurgeCache.bat CATEGORY_NAME on Microsoft Windows or PurgeCache.sh CATEGORY_NAME on UNIX. The CATEGORY_NAME argument represents the name of the content category that must be purged.
For example, the following commands purge Metadata entries from the server cache:
PurgeCache.bat MetaData
PurgeCache.sh MetaData
For Oracle Identity Manager release 9.1.0.x:
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. This exception is different from the one mentioned in Step 1.
In this command, ConnectorResourceBundle is one of the content categories that you can delete from the server cache. See the following file for information about the other content categories:
OIM_HOME/xellerate/config/xlconfig.xml
For Oracle Identity Manager release 11.1.1:
On Microsoft Windows: PurgeCache.bat All
On UNIX: PurgeCache.sh All
When prompted, enter the user name and password of an account belonging to the SYSTEM ADMINISTRATORS group. In addition, you are prompted to enter the service URL in the following format:
t3://OIM_HOST_NAME:OIM_PORT_NUMBER
In this format:
Replace OIM_HOST_NAME with the host name or IP address of the Oracle Identity Manager host computer.
Replace OIM_PORT_NUMBER with the port on which Oracle Identity Manager is listening.
See Oracle Fusion Middleware System Administrator's Guide for Oracle Identity Manager for more information about the PurgeCache utility.
Depending on the Oracle Identity Manager release you are using, perform the procedure described in one of the following sections:
Section 2.6.4.1, "Enabling Logging on Oracle Identity Manager or Release 9.1.0.x"
Section 2.6.4.2, "Enabling Logging on Oracle Identity Manager Release 11.1.1"
Note:
In an Oracle Identity Manager cluster, perform this procedure on each node of the cluster. Then, restart each node.
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 messages that highlight the progress of the application at a 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 might 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:
IBM WebSphere Application Server
To enable logging:
Add the following line in the OIM_HOME/xellerate/config/log.properties file:
log4j.logger.Adapter.BMCRemedy=log_level
In this line, replace log_level with the log level that you want to set.
For example:
log4j.logger.Adapter.BMCRemedy=INFO
After you enable logging, log information is written to the following file:
WebSphere_home/AppServer/logs/server_name/startServer.log
JBoss Application Server
To enable logging:
In the JBOSS_HOME/server/default/conf/log4j.xml file, locate the following lines:
<category name="Adapter.BMCRemedy">
<priority value="log_level"/>
</category>
In the second XML code line, replace log_level with the log level that you want to set. For example:
<category name="Adapter.BMCRemedy"> <priority value="INFO"/> </category>
After you enable logging, log information is written to the following file:
JBoss_home/server/default/log/server.log
Oracle Application Server
To enable logging:
Add the following line in the OIM_HOME/xellerate/config/log.properties file:
log4j.logger.Adapter.BMCRemedy=log_level
In this line, replace log_level with the log level that you want to set.
For example:
log4j.logger.Adapter.BMCRemedy=INFO
After you enable logging, log information is written to the following file:
OAS_HOME/opmn/logs/default_group~home~default_group~1.log
Oracle WebLogic Server
To enable logging:
Add the following line in the OIM_HOME/xellerate/config/log.properties file:
log4j.logger.Adapter.BMCRemedy=log_level
In this line, replace log_level with the log level that you want to set.
For example:
log4j.logger.Adapter.BMCRemedy=INFO
After you enable logging, log information is written to the following file:
WebLogic_home/user_projects/domains/domain_name/server_name/server_name.log
Note:
In an Oracle Identity Manager cluster, perform this procedure on each node of the cluster. Then, restart each node.
Oracle Identity Manager release 11.1.1 uses Oracle Java Diagnostic Logging (OJDL) for logging. OJDL is based on java.util.logger. 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:
SEVERE.intValue()+100
This level enables logging of information about fatal errors.
SEVERE
This level enables logging of information about errors that might allow Oracle Identity Manager to continue running.
WARNING
This level enables logging of information about potentially harmful situations.
INFO
This level enables logging of messages that highlight the progress of the application.
CONFIG
This level enables logging of information about fine-grained events that are useful for debugging.
FINE, FINER, FINEST
These levels enable logging of information about fine-grained events, where FINEST logs information about all events.
These log levels are mapped to ODL message type and level combinations as shown in Table 2-3.
Table 2-3 Log Levels and ODL Message Type:Level Combinations
| Log Level | ODL Message Type:Level |
|---|---|
|
SEVERE.intValue()+100 |
INCIDENT_ERROR:1 |
|
SEVERE |
ERROR:1 |
|
WARNING |
WARNING:1 |
|
INFO |
NOTIFICATION:1 |
|
CONFIG |
NOTIFICATION:16 |
|
FINE |
TRACE:1 |
|
FINER |
TRACE:16 |
|
FINEST |
TRACE:32 |
The configuration file for OJDL is logging.xml, which is located at the following path:
DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/servers/OIM_SERVER/logging.xml
Here, DOMAIN_HOME and OIM_SERVER are the domain name and server name specified during the installation of Oracle Identity Manager.
To enable logging in Oracle WebLogic Server:
Edit the logging.xml file as follows:
Add the following blocks in the file:
<log_handler name='bmcremedy-handler' level='[LOG_LEVEL]' class='oracle.core.ojdl.logging.ODLHandlerFactory'> <property name='logreader:' value='off'/> <property name='path' value='[FILE_NAME]'/> <property name='format' value='ODL-Text'/> <property name='useThreadName' value='true'/> <property name='locale' value='en'/> <property name='maxFileSize' value='5242880'/> <property name='maxLogSize' value='52428800'/> <property name='encoding' value='UTF-8'/> </log_handler>
<logger name="ADAPTER.BMCREMEDY" level="[LOG_LEVEL]" useParentHandlers="false">
<handler name="bmcremedy-handler"/>
<handler name="console-handler"/>
</logger>
Replace both occurrences of [LOG_LEVEL] with the ODL message type and level combination that you require. Table 2-3 lists the supported message type and level combinations.
Similarly, replace [FILE_NAME] with the full path and name of the log file in which you want log messages to be recorded.
The following blocks show sample values for [LOG_LEVEL] and [FILE_NAME] :
<log_handler name='bmcremedy-handler' level='NOTIFICATION:1' class='oracle.core.ojdl.logging.ODLHandlerFactory'> <property name='logreader:' value='off'/> <property name='path' value='F:\MyMachine\middleware\user_projects\domains\base_domain1\servers\oim_server1\logs\oim_server1-diagnostic-1.log'/> <property name='format' value='ODL-Text'/> <property name='useThreadName' value='true'/> <property name='locale' value='en'/> <property name='maxFileSize' value='5242880'/> <property name='maxLogSize' value='52428800'/> <property name='encoding' value='UTF-8'/> </log_handler> <logger name="ADAPTER.BMCREMEDY" level="NOTIFICATION:1" useParentHandlers="false"> <handler name="bmcremedy-handler"/> <handler name="console-handler"/> </logger>
With these sample values, when you use Oracle Identity Manager, all messages generated for this connector that are of a log level equal to or higher than the NOTIFICATION:1 level are recorded in the specified file.
Save and close the file.
Set the following environment variable to redirect the server logs to a file:
For Microsoft Windows:
set WLS_REDIRECT_LOG=FILENAME
For UNIX:
export WLS_REDIRECT_LOG=FILENAME
Replace FILENAME with the location and name of the file to which you want to redirect the output.
Restart the application server.
Note:
Perform the procedure described in this section only if you are using Oracle Identity Manager release 11.1.1 and you want to configure request-based provisioning.
In request-based provisioning, an end user creates a request for a resource by using the Administrative and User Console. Administrators or other users can also create requests for a particular user. Requests for a particular resource on the resource can be viewed and approved by approvers designated in Oracle Identity Manager.
The following are features of request-based provisioning:
A user can be provisioned only one resource (account) on the target system.
Note:
Direct provisioning allows the provisioning of multiple target system accounts on the target system.
Direct provisioning cannot be used if you enable request-based provisioning.
To configure request-based provisioning, perform the following procedures:
A request dataset is an XML file that specifies the information to be submitted by the requester during a provisioning operation. Predefined request datasets are shipped with this connector. These request datasets specify information about the default set of attributes for which the requester must submit information during a request-based provisioning operation. The following are the predefined request datasets available in the dataset directory on the installation media:
provisionresource_bmcro.xml
modifyprovisionedresource_bmcro.xml
Copy these files from the installation media to any directory on the Oracle Identity Manager host computer. It is recommended that you create a directory structure as follows:
/custom/connector/RESOURCE_NAME
For example:
E:\MyDatasets\custom\connector\BMCUM
Note:
Until you complete the procedure to configure request-based provisioning, ensure that there are no other files or directories inside the parent directory in which you create the directory structure. In the preceding example, ensure that there are no other files or directories inside the E:\MyDatasets directory.
The directory structure to which you copy the dataset files is the MDS location into which these files are imported after you run the Oracle Identity Manager MDS Import utility. The procedure to import dataset files is described in the next section.
Depending on your requirement, you can modify the file names of the request datasets. In addition, you can modify the information in the request datasets. See Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle Identity Manager for information on modifying request datasets.
All request datasets must be imported into the metadata store (MDS), which can be done by using the Oracle Identity Manager MDS Import utility.
To import a request dataset definition into MDS:
Ensure that you have set the environment for running the MDS Import utility. See Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle Identity Manager for detailed information about setting up the environment for MDS utilities.
Note:
While setting up the properties in the weblogic.properties file, ensure that the value of the metadata_from_loc property is the parent directory of the /custom/connector/RESOURCE_NAME directory. For example, while performing the procedure in Section 2.6.5.1, "Copying Predefined Request Datasets," if you copy the files to the E:\MyDatasets\custom\connector\BMCUM directory, then set the value of the metada_from_loc property to E:\MyDatasets.
In a command window, change to the OIM_HOME\server\bin directory.
Run one of the following commands:
On Microsoft Windows
weblogicImportMetadata.bat
On UNIX
weblogicImportMetadata.sh
When prompted, enter the following values:
Please enter your username [weblogic]
Enter the username used to log in to the WebLogic server
Sample value: WL_User
Please enter your password [weblogic]
Enter the password used to log in to the WebLogic server.
Please enter your server URL [t3://localhost:7001]
Enter the URL of the application server in the following format:
t3://HOST_NAME_IP_ADDRESS:PORT
In this format, replace:
HOST_NAME_IP_ADDRESS with the host name or IP address of the computer on which Oracle Identity Manager is installed.
PORT with the port on which Oracle Identity Manager is listening.
The request dataset is imported into MDS.
To enable the Auto Save Form feature:
Log in to the Design Console.
Expand Process Management, and then double-click Process Definition.
Search for and open the BMCPROCESS process definition.
Select the Auto Save Form check box.
Click the Save icon.
Run the PurgeCache utility to clear content belonging to the Metadata category from the server cache. See Section 2.6.3, "Clearing Content Related to Connector Resource Bundles from the Server Cache" for instructions.
The procedure to configure request-based provisioning ends with this step.
