OIM 11.1.2 R2: Installation of Connector Server


OIM 11.1.2 R2: Installation of Connector Server

The connector server is the Windows server. Before installing the Connector Server, ensure that .NET Framework 3.5 or above is installed on the same server where we are installing the Connector Server.
1.       Login on the Windows server (as referred as Dot Net Connector server)
2.       Extract the contents of the Connector Server package (Connector_Server_111210.zip) and locate the ServiceInstall-1.4.0.0.msi file.
3.       Install the Connector Server by running the ServiceInstall-1.4.0.0.msi file and following the wizard. The wizard takes you through the installation process step-by-step. After completion, the .NET Connector Server is registered as a Windows service.







4.  Start the Microsoft Services Console.
5.       If the .NET Connector Server is running, stop it by stopping the Windows service named Connector Server.
6.       To set a custom key for the .NET Connector Server, use the /setkey command-line argument, as follows:
a.       Change to the directory where the .NET Connector Server was installed. The default directory is:
C:\Program Files\Identity Connectors\Connector Server
b.      Run the following command:
ConnectorServer.exe /setkey NEW_KEY
In this command, NEW_KEY is the value for the new key. This key is required by any client that connects to this .NET Connector Server.
7.       Check the settings in the .NET Connector Server configuration file (ConnectorServer.exe.config). These settings are in the element named AppSettings. For example:
<add key="connectorserver.port" value="8759" />
<add key="connectorserver.usessl" value="false" />
<add key="connectorserver.certificatestorename" value="ConnectorServerSSLCertificate" />
<add key="connectorserver.ifaddress" value="0.0.0.0" />
Note: The most common settings you might want to change are:
ü  Port number: To change the port, set connectorserver.port to a value other than 8759 (If require in Production. For example: port enablement or Firewall issue).
Note: This port should be accessible from OIM server (Firewall opened)
ü  SSL settings: To use SSL, set connectorserver.usessl to true and then set connectorserver.certificatestorename to your certificate store name. (If the SSL is implemented)
8.       Save the following configuration information from the .NET Connector Server installation. This information must be specified while configuring the IT resource for the Connector Server:
ü  Host name or IP address
ü  Connector Server port
ü  Connector Server key values
ü  Whether SSL is enabled

9.       Restart Connector Server by restarting the Windows service.
