Connector Xpress Example: Configure a SUN ONE Endpoint

In this example, the system administrator Steve creates a SUN ONE endpoint type in Connector Xpress to connect to a SUN ONE directory.

Steve has installed Connector Xpress on the Enterprise Management Server host. Steve does the following:

1. Goes to the Start menu, selects Programs, CA, Identity Manager, Connector Xpress.

   The Identity Manager Connector Xpress main menu appears.

2. Clicks Setup Data Sources.

   The Setup Data Sources window opens.

3. Clicks Add.

   The Source Types window opens, displaying the available sources.

4. Selects JNDI and clicks OK.

   The Edit Source window opens.

   • Name—SUN ONE
   • Server Name—server1
   • Port—389
   • Bind DN— uid=user1,ou=cont1,ou=ldapConnector,dc=company,dc=com

     Important! Specify an existing directory user account and not a Directory Manager account, that is not located directly under the base DN.

   • Base DN—ou=ldapConnector,dc=company,dc=com
6. Clicks Test to verify the connection settings.

   The Enter password for data source window opens.

7. Enters the administrator account password and clicks OK.

   A confirmation message appears, if no errors were discovered. The new data source is created. Steve now creates a new project.

    • cn—AccountID
    • sn—last name
    • uid—AccountID
    • userPassword—the user account password

11. Saves the project to save the endpoint type definitions.

    Steve has configured a new SUN ONE endpoint type in Connector Xpress. Steve now registers the endpoint type with the Java Connector Server.
