Upgrading Metadata

Connector Xpress automatically upgrades your existing metadata when you open your old project into the new version of Connector Xpress. As you take advantage of the new features in this release, they are automatically added to your existing metadata.

Note: When you open an old project for the first time in Connector Xpress, redeploy the metadata and generate the CA Identity Manager User Console Account Screens.

Where User Preferences Are Stored

Connector Xpress stores user preferences through the Java Preferences API.

On Windows, Java Preferences API stores data in the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JavaSoft\Prefs

On UNIX, Java Preferences API stores data in the users home directory under the following folder:

.java/.userPrefs

Note: The uninstaller does not remove this data, so subsequent installs preserve user preferences.

Set Preferences

You can change various aspects of the way Connector Xpress looks and behaves, such as its look and feel, search limits, and command parameters.

Follow these steps:

  1. Click Tools, Preferences.

    The Connector Xpress Preference dialog appears.

  2. Compete the fields on the dialog, then click OK.

    Connector Xpress applies and saves your preferences.

Where Settings Are Stored

Settings are stored using the Java Preferences API. The API stores the values in the registry on Windows and in a file under the user’s home directory on Solaris.

On Windows, the value is stored in the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JavaSoft\Prefs\com\ca\iam\conman

Configure the CA IAM Connector Server Host to Communicate with Standalone CA IAM Connector Server

There are two ports (non tls (ssl) and ssl) that a client can use to communicate with the standalone CA IAM Connector Server. To allow the Connector Server Manager or Connector Xpress to access the standalone CA IAM Connector Server, configure the firewall on your CA IAM Connector Server server host to allow communication on these ports.
