Deploy a Connector using CA IAM Connector Server

CA IAM Connector Server lets you hot-deploy connectors. This means that you can add, start, stop, and remove connectors while CA IAM Connector Server is running.

You can deploy connectors that came with your product, and connectors that you downloaded from the CA Support site.

Follow these steps:

1. If required, download the connector and save the files locally.
2. Log in to CA IAM Connector Server.
3. At the top, click the Connector Servers tab.
4. In the Connector Server Management area, click the Bundles tab.
5. In the Bundles area on the right, click Add.
6. Browse to a connector bundle JAR, then select the connector server on which this connector will be available.

   You can select Start Bundle to have it start automatically after loading, or you can start it yourself later.

7. Click OK.

   The new bundle appears in the Bundles list.

   Right-click its name in the list, then choose Start from the popup menu.

8. Log in to the Management Console, then go to the Bundles tab and check that the connector is running.
9. Log in to the CA Identity Manager User Console and check that the connector is working:
   1. Acquire the endpoint.
   2. Explore and correlate the endpoint.
