You need to generate Security Identifiers (SID) values
for installing IBM® Connections
Content Manager with a new FileNet® deployment
or 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 and configuring
indexing. Follow these instructions if you chose to install Connections
Content Manager with a new FileNet® deployment.
Procedure
-
Find the tool under <Connections_HOME>\addons\ccm\ccmDomainTool.
Note: You might find the tool under
<Connections_HOME>\Filenet\ContentEngine\ccmDomainTool
- Run the following command to generate the SID value for
an associate username:
- Windows™: generateSID.bat
- Linux™, AIX®: generateSID.sh
You will be asked for the following inputs:
- Domain admin user password
- Username you want to generate the SID for.
Once these inputs have been collected the program will return
the SID value.
Results

store is new, it might indicate a problem with the initial creation
of the FileNet P8 Domain or Object Store. Review the troubleshooting section to ensure that your
domain and object store were created successfully using the scripts
provided in Configuring Libraries automatically.
