5 Installing From Scratch on Windows

This chapter provides instructions for installing Identity Synchronization for Windows 6.0 Service Pack 1 in a greenfield environment, an environment where no instance of Identity Synchronization for Windows already exists. This chapter contains the following sections:

• Creating Required Data Stores in Directory Server

• Obtaining the Identity Synchronization for Windows Software

• Preparing for Identity Synchronization for Windows Installation

• Installing the Software

• Checking the Software Version

5.1 Creating Required Data Stores in Directory Server

The LDAP directory used to store the Identity Synchronization for Windows configuration and synchronization data must be created and configured manually before you run the Identity Synchronization for Windows installer.

When creating tthis type of Directory Server instance, observe the following recommendations:

• Do not use an existing 5.2x Directory Server o=netscaperoot for the Identity Synchronization for Windows configuration data store. Create a new Directory Server that includes an instance of Identity Synchronization for Windows and is dedicated to Identity Synchronization for Windows configuration (o=netscaperoot) and synchronization ( ou=isw_config) data stores.

  For example, create a new ou=isw_config suffix, and then allow the Identity Synchronization for Windows administration console to create its own o=NetscapeRoot suffix on the same server during installation. Be sure to create a Top Entry when you create the new ou=isw_config suffix. When creating the ou=isw_config suffix using DSCC, on the "Step5 : Choose Data Options" page, choose "Create Top Entry for the suffix. "

  There should be no exisisting o=NetscapeRoot suffix when installing the Identity Synchronization for Windows Java console.

• Configure the configuration data store so that the o=netscaperoot suffix that Identity Synchronization for Windows uses is not replicated with configuration changes from multiple management domains. 

• The Identity Synchronization for Windows configuration suffix should not reside in a replicated suffix.  Use something like ou=isw_config as a root suffix. 

• Avoid using anything other than o or ou notation for the Identity Synchronization for Windows configuration suffix. Using dc suffix notation can cause install to fail.

• The o=netscaperoot suffix must not be a parent of the ou=isw_config suffix.

• Use a non-standard root level suffix so it is not a part of user LDAP space.

For detailed steps, see "Creating Directory Sources" in "Chapter 4, Configuring Core Resources" of the Oracle Identity Synchronization for Windows 6.0 Installation and Configuration Guide.

5.2 Obtaining the Identity Synchronization for Windows Software

See Section 1.3, "Obtaining the Software as Part of Directory Server Enterprise Edition."

5.3 Preparing for Identity Synchronization for Windows Installation

1. Review the following sections of this document:

   • Section 1.4, "Completing Pre-Installation Tasks"

   • Section 3.3, "Known Issues in Identity Synchronization for Windows 6.0 Service Pack 1"

2. After you unzip the distribution file, the ODSEE_Identity_Synchronization_for_Windows directory should contain the following components:

   • The Identity Synchronization for Windows 6.0 Service Pack 1 patch

   • JDK 5.0_u29

   • Message Queue 4.3

3. Install JDK 5.0_u29.

   Install the packages available under the appropriate jdk directory.

   Launch the .exe file.

4. Install Message Queue 4.3.

   See Section 2.2, "Installing or Upgrading Sun Java System Message Queue." for detailed information.

5. Unpack the Identity Synchronization for Windows 6.0 Service Pack 1 binaries.

   Change to the patch-id directory that corresponds to your platform and unzip the Identity Synchronization for Windows zip file.

   For example:

   C:\> cd 144592-01
   C:\> unzip.exe isw.6.0.sp1.windows.zip
   

5.4 Installing the Software

1. Install the Identity Synchronization for Windows 6.0 Service Pack 1 Core.

   For more information, see Chapter 3, Installing Core, in Oracle Identity Synchronization for Windows 6.0 Installation and Configuration Guide.

2. Configure the Identity Synchronization for Windows 6.0 Service Pack 1 Core.

   For more information, see Chapter 4, Configuring Core Resources, in Oracle Identity Synchronization for Windows 6.0 Installation and Configuration Guide.

3. Start the Identity Synchronization for Windows services.

   See Section 1.5.3, "Starting and Stopping Services."

4. Start synchronization.

   See Section 1.5.2, "Starting and Stopping Synchronization."

5.5 Checking the Software Version

To confirm that the Identity Synchronization for Windows 6.0 Service Pack 1 installation has been successful, run the following command:

C:\Program Files\Sun\MPS\isw-win2k3-isw\bin\idsync -V

The output should be the same as the following:
