Sun IDM Installation Automation

Hello-- We are attempting to automate the installation of the SUN Identity manager running on Windows 2003 , using SQL server 2000 & WebSphere.
.We are basically Websphere Admins and no IDM gurus hence seek some help from you.
The instructions we have give details about using the LH Setup command.,but I am more interested in automated installation. I am looking at options like setrepo and lh license to set the server repository and the license file etc.But out of options for importing data through the XML files.
If anyone has made such an attempt before or is aware of the know how,the help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks--Dips

Robin,
Sorry but before I can try your solution I have been mired with another issue part of the ongoing automation effort. This is a prior step I believe and it deals with setting up the repository.We are trying to set the Repository type as SQLServer and the driver to be JDBC. I am trying to use the setrepo command for this purpose (not exactly sure thats the right way)
lh setRepo -tSQLServer -ujdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://************:1433;DatabaseName=waveset;SelectMethod=Cursor -jcom.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver -Uwaveset -Pwaveset
When I try the solution I get the message
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC] Can't start a cloned connection while in manual transaction mode.
I had once tried to create the repository through lh setup and had provided the same parameters using the GUI,but cleared them later.
Also I have verified with the DBA that all open connection have been closed.Still this error persists.
Can anyone through some light on this?Am I going down the wrong lane?
Rgds,
Dips

Automation of Sun IDM XML Code backup

Hi,
Is it possible to automate Sun IDM code backup to run everyday...
Thanx,
Deva

I guess if you have a process, shell script, .bat file or whatever than can make the IDM code backup it could be scheduled to run at whatever frequency you wish.
Are you wanting to backup the repository or the IdM installation?
I understood that the IdM code is static.. just a deployment of a .war file. Once deployed it is backed-up the next time the disk is saved to tape.
However, the IdM objects, forms, rules etc are stored in the repository database. These are quite volatile. How this is backed-up depends on the database itself. How to automate THAT is then up to you.

I can't think of any place where Sun IDM 6.0 exists. You may need to contact Oracle Support to obtain it.

Sun IDM 6.0 SP1 installer

Hi,
Can someone tell me from where I can download Sun IDM 6.0 SP1? I was able to download 6.0 but I need SP1 to match with my customer environment.
Thanks!

Ironically I can only seem to find the external/public link for SP2 at the moment:
https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_SMI-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewProductDetail-Start?ProductUUID=fJTACUFBTgUAAAEYLaU5AXoF&CatalogCategoryID=NnPACUFBO14AAAEYP2A5AXhV&JumpTo=OfferList
If you strictly need SP1 I can upload it manually for you. Please let me know.

Exploratory Programming of the Sun IDM API

Exploratory Programming of the Sun IDM API using Rhino
Sun IDM comes with a JavaScript interpreter (Rhino) that can be invoked from the command-line. This gives developers an easy way to explore the large number of classes that comprised the product.
Let's say for example that you need the approvers of a role object in order to display them on a form. (The role view provides this information, but let's ignore this for the purpose of this example.) The role javadoc mentions two methods to get the approvers, getApproverRefs() and getApprovers(). Unfortunately they are not described clearly, and the difference between the two is not clear either.
In order to understand what these methods do and what they return, you can use the interpreter to invoke each one directly.
First start the interpreter with the 'lh.bat js' command:
lh.bat jsYou will be greeted with the javascript prompt "js>"
Then the first thing to do is to login to the application server. Copy-paste the following code into the shell interpreter.
// Java packages are prepended with the word 'Packages'
// and are imported using the 'importPackage' function
importPackage(Packages.com.waveset.util);
importPackage(Packages.com.waveset.object);
importPackage(Packages.com.waveset.security.authn);
importPackage(Packages.com.waveset.session);
importPackage(Packages.com.waveset.ui);
importPackage(Packages.java.util);
// Use arguments[0] and arguments[1] if you want to pass credentials from the command line
// Here we just use the built-in account "configurator"
var epass = new EncryptedData("configurator");
var session = SessionFactory.getSession("configurator", epass);
print("Waveset session established");Alternatively save the above code to a text file called "idm-init.js" and load the file from the interpreter.
js> load("idm-init.js")
Waveset session establishedOnce a session has been established, objects can be loaded from the repository. Enter this line at the prompt to get the role object named "testrole3"
js> var roleObject = session.getObject("Role", "testrole3");Enter the variable name at the prompt to cause the interpreter to invoke the object's 'toString' method.
js> roleObject
Role:testrole3Use a 'for' loop to print out all of the object's method and fields.
js> for (i in roleObject) { print(i) }Enter a method's name to invoke it. Let's call getApproverRefs().
js> var approvers1 = roleObject.getApproverRefs();
js> approvers1
[User:role1approver(id=#ID#1CC1759638D9AF96:182C132:10F3E8040B5:-7FBE), User:role2approver(id=#ID#1CC1759638D9AF96:182C132:10F3E8040B5:-7FB8)]
js> approvers1.get(0).getClass();
class com.waveset.object.ObjectRefNow let's check out getApprovers().
js> var approvers2 = roleObject.getApprovers();
js> approvers2
[Lcom.waveset.object.WSUser;@d3c69c
js> approvers2[0].getClass()
class com.waveset.object.WSUserSo getApproverRefs() returns a list of ObjectRef objects, while getApprover() returns an array of WSUser objects.
In summary the Sun IDM JavaScript interpreter can be used to explore the product's vast API. This article used the role class and its getApprovers() and getApproverRefs() methods as an example for exploratory programming. Other applications include automated testing and administrative scripts.

Yes you can customise IDM it is all available in courses and the manuals also provide some info.
As long as you can write the code you need in java or javascript you can call it from IDM: that could be an interface to you naming app.
Otherwise use the SPML interface if you want to use something else then the GUI. This is also described in the manuals.

Configure sun IDM 8.0

I need the steps to configure sun IDM 8.0

Hello,
Download the package and go through the README.
The IDM database storage method is the only one thing which is confusing. It can either be stored in the local file system or in the database. If you are planning for database, you have to install one of the database ( oracle,mysql etc) with proper connectors before the IDM installation.
hint:BETTER GO FOR MYSQL.....................BCZ SUN ACQUIRED MYSQL :)
Thanks,
Sal.

Where to download Sun IdM/Oracle Waveset evaluation version [full]

Hi,
Could you advice me, where to download evaluation copy of sun IdM/Wave Set? I downloaded 8.1 but it looks for pre-installations.
Appreciate your help!
Thanks
Prakash

Sun IDM 8.1 can be installed from scratch. No previous IDM versions are required. It is a full installation. Simply use MySQL as the repository database and Apache Tomcat as your application server.
Specific installation instructions for Sun IDM 8.1 on Tomcat can be found here: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-5594/ahtbq?l=en&a=view
Of course, first you need to prepare the DB and App Server: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-5594/ghrqf?l=en&a=view and http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-5594/ghrsw?l=en&a=view, respectively.
Good luck.

Error while Reading Idocs from ECC 6.0 to Sun IDM .

Hi Gurus,
We have a scenerio where we have to update the Sun IDM Server with all the changes in HR Data happening in ECC.
For that... we have
1. Created a Logical System for Sun IDM server, Port, RFC Connection (TCP/IP).
2. Assigned Partner Profiles, Distribution Model etc. for msg. type HRMD_A ;
3. We have created a Communications User used by the IDM server to connect to ECC.
Idocs are created daily and are in status 03 - Data passed to Port OK !
and on the In Sun Identity manager 8.0 we have created SAP resource adapter for ECC 6.0,
after giving resource parameters our test connection is successful.
We also changed edit synchronisation policy for the same but when we start synchronisation in IDM, it is unable to read any idocs although Idocs are generated in SAP .
Log file gives the message as "Incoming IDoc list request containing 0 documents"
We also have one more error ;
some times while doing a connection test : JCO.Server could not find server function 'åäåä¹'
while most of the times the connection is successful.
Please suggest .

Hi Gurus,
The error got resolved .
The changes in the settings i did :
SAP SIDE : Made the RFC Connection Unicode.
IDM SIDE : Checked on the "SAP Server Unicode" checkbox; while doing the HR Activ Synch Settings.
This Resolved the error.
regards
Vaibhav

SUN IDM with Windows Vista

Hello,
Has anybody tried installing SUN IDM with windows vista
I tried IDM 7.1 with vista home premium and doesnt seem to work. Curious to know if any body has success with vista
Awaiting replies
Thanks,

What error message are you getting?
Have you installed Java and an apllication servers as requested?
1) Set Up a Java Virtual Machine Software Development Kit and Java Compiler
The application requires a Java compiler and a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) to run the Java classes that perform actions within Identity Manager. Both of these can be found in a Java SDK. Download from or http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index_jdk5.jsp *** You should add JAVA_HOME to your list of system environment variables and to your system path. To do this, add JAVA_HOME to your system environment and JAVA_HOME\bin to your path, making sure to list it before any other Java environment variables.
2) Install Tomcat application server from official http://tomcat.apache.org/ to local hard drive. Configure Tomcat memory requirements and restart. Min: 256k

How to create a WAR File for an IDM installation?

I have a IDM 7.1.1 test instance installed on a server which uses a local mySQL.
Is there a way I can create war file of the IDM installation? I would like to migrate the IDM to another server.
I know how to create a IDM war through Netbean; this particulart instance is not hooked to NetBeans.

i think it should be jar -cf /path/to/warfile/idm.war *Edited by: Amit_Bansal on Sep 30, 2008 9:49 AM

Movement of accounts in AD natively; How Sun IDM identity is affected

Dear Reader,
We are planning to integrate Windows Active Directory with Sun IDM 6.0 SP1. Even after integrating AD with Sun IDM there will be lots of changes to the native account like especially moving the account from one OU to another etc
Since Sun IDM identity has the distinguished name of AD account for its reference; if someone moves the AD Account natively how will that affect IDM identity.
I heard from couple of my friends that Sun IDM uses objectGUID to refer account in AD so even if the account is moved from one OU to another there will be no issue, is that right?
Will Sun IDM 6.0 SP1 work that way or this fix was introduced in the later release?
Is there any other factor involved in this which will affect the way Sun IDM works when the account is moved natively?
Any help is appreciated
Thanks in advance

We use IdM 7.1.1.11 and AD.
Sun does use the GUID once it has it. And, if the dn changes and the GUID stays the same, IdM won't care. Although in examining logs I saw that Sun asks AD first based on the GUID, then if it can't find it, reverts to the dn. We manage what OU our accounts are in via IdM. So we don't allow AD admins to move accounts around. During our initial migration, we are syncing up GUIDs, and correcting any bad OU values. Don't know if that helps, but I have some experience looking at some of this and can offer my oberservations.

Expert pls help: Sun IDM with ldap active sync

Hi all,
Currently i am configuring Sun IDM 6.0 SP1 to active sync with Sun directory server. I have enabled Retro Change Log but yet i cant find my changeNumber in directory server. Could anyone show me a way (search?) to get what changeNumber directory server currently running?

Check the account used by IDM to access DS can search cn=changelog branch. If he is not Directory Manager, you probably need to set an ACI on that branch.
