You need to generate Security Identifiers (SID) values
for installing IBM® Connections
Content Manager with an existing FileNet® deployment.
About this task
A Security Identifier (SID) is an internal ID used within
Connections Content Manager and FileNet. This internal ID is used
to reference a user in some areas of configuration. Specifically,
you will need SIDs when setting
up anonymous access, configuring indexing, and configuring
the Activity Stream for CCM Events. Follow these instructions
if you had chosen to install Connections Content Manager with an existing FileNet deployment.
Procedure
- On the Connections system, create a directory to hold the
JARs you will copy from the FileNet side.
For example:
- Windows™: C:\CPEFiles
- Linux™, AIX®: /CPEFiles
- Copy the Jace.jar and log4j.jar files
from the FileNet Content
Platform Engine deployment.
- Place these JAR files into a subdirectory called lib in
the directory you previously created
For example:
- Windows: C:\CPEFiles\lib
- Linux, AIX: /CPEFiles/lib
- Edit and save the generateSID.bat|.sh script
file by updating the line containing the CE_HOME variable
to refer to the directory you created in step #1.
For example:
- Windows: set
CE_HOME=C:/CPEFiles
- Linux, AIX: export CE_HOME=/CPEFiles
- Open a command line console and change directory to <Connections_HOME>.
- Set the JAVA_HOME environment variable if it has not already
been defined.
For example:
- Windows: set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\java
- Linux, AIX: export JAVA_HOME=/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/java
- Run the following command to generate the SID value for
an associated username:
- Windows: generateSID.bat
- Linux, AIX: generateSID.sh
You will be asked for the following inputs:
- Hostname the Content Platform Engine application
(FileNetEngine) is running on
- Port number the Content Platform Engine application
(FileNetEngine) is listening on
- Domain admin username
- Domain admin password
- Username you desire to generate the SID for
Once these inputs have been collected the program will return
the SID value.
