Sun Identity Manager 8.1 Resources Reference

ProcedureMigrating to a Connector-Based Resource: General Steps

Do not perform this migration in a production environment. The migration does an in-place upgrade of the existing resource, changing it to use the connector instead of the previous resource adapter. All previous user account assignments to the resource will remain after the migration. While considerable effort is made in the migration to preserve backward-compatibility, it is recommended that the converted resource be tested before promoting to production.

  1. Install the new connector (if not already installed)

  2. Follow all the Identity Manager-specific installation steps documented for the connector, including importing any needed Exchange files.

  3. Follow the migration procedure documented for the connector. Typically, this involves running a declared migration server task from Server Tasks > Run Tasks.
