Configure the Second CA IAM Connector Server Properties File

Set the parameters for the second CA IAM Connector Server instance.

Copy the properties file from the first CA IAM Connector Server instance and change only the parameters that are different for the second instance. Remember to rename and back up the new properties file after you complete the parameters.

You need the following information to complete the CA IAM Connector Server parameters.

General Information:

• Your Provisioning Server host names

Follow these steps:

1. On the first CA IAM Connector Server system, copy the properties.sh file that you just configured.
2. Navigate to /tmp/properties.sh on the second CA IAM Connector Server system. Replace the properties.sh file with the configured copy from the first CA IAM Connector Server system.
3. Change the following parameter values:

   _remote_imps_hostname

   Enter the host name of the failover (second) Provisioning Server system.

   Note: This parameter is not needed when the Provisioning Server and CA IAM Connector Server are on the same system.

4. Leave all other parameter values as you set them for the first CA IAM Connector Server.
5. Back up the properties.sh file. Rename it to a logical name, for example, connectorserver2properties.sh.

   Note: This file is critical for upgrades. We recommend that you back up this file. This file contains passwords, so be sure to save it in a secure location.

   Important! The original properties.sh file resides in a temp folder. If the server is shut down, the properties.sh file is discarded. Therefore, rename and back up this file before proceeding with any further installation or use of the system.
