Installing the One Identity Manager Service on a Job server remotely

You have the option to install certain Job servers remotely in the Job Server Editor. The remote installation wizard executes the following steps:

  • Installs One Identity Manager Service components.
  • Configures the One Identity Manager Service.
  • Starts the One Identity Manager Service.

NOTE: To generate processes for the Job server, you need the provider, connection parameters and the authentication data. In the default case, this information is determined from the database connection data. If the Job server runs through an application server, you must configure extra connection data in the Designer. For more information, see Connection data for process generation.

Prerequisites for remote installation

  • The Job server is entered in the database

  • There is a user account with sufficient permissions for installing the One Identity Manager Service.

  • Remote installation is only supported within a domain or a trusted domain.

Configuring the One Identity Manager Service

The One Identity Manager Service enables the distribution of the information administrated in the One Identity Manager database throughout the network. The One Identity Manager Service performs data synchronization between the database and any connected target systems and executes actions at the database and file level. The One Identity Manager Service retrieves process steps from the JobQueue. Process steps are executed by process components. The One Identity Manager Service also creates an instance of the required process component and transfers the process step parameters. Decision logic monitors the execution of the process steps and determines how processing should continue depending on the results of the executed process components. The One Identity Manager Service enables parallel processing of process steps because it can create several instances of process components.

A Job provider function makes a Job destination process step available within the One Identity Manager Service. The Job destination function handles the process steps and returns a result to the Job provider. The Job provider evaluates the result.

The combination of a Job provider on one server and a Job destination on another server is called a "Job gate". The Job provider and Job destination are configured within the Jobgate such that they can communicate with each other.

Figure 26: Example of how the One Identity Manager Service works

Table 75: One Identity Manager Service provider
Provider

Description

MSSQLJobProvider

The MSSQLJobProvider retrieves the process steps from the One Identity Manager database under SQL Server and sends them to a Job destination.

FileJobProvider

In the FileJobProvider, process requests and results are read from and written to files. These files can be processed by the FileJobGate (FileJobDestination or FTPJobDestination). The data is transferred using these files.

FTPJobProvider

The FTPJobProvider is based on the function of the FileJobProvider. In the FTPJobProvider, process requests and results are read from and written to files. After the files have been created in the local directory, the FTPJobProvider connects to the FTP server and transfers the files to the server. A connection is also made to the FTP Server when it gets a signal and the data is collected.

HTTPJobProvider

The HTTPJobProvider receives process steps from a parent Job server. The data transfer is carried out by HTTP.

AppServerJobProvider

The AppServerJobProvider retrieves the process steps from the application server and sends them to a Job destination.

Table 76: One Identity Manager Service Job destinations
JobDestination Description

JobServiceDestination

The JobServiceDestination is the One Identity Manager Service component that performs the actual handling of process steps. It requests the process steps from the Job provider, processes them with the process component and returns the result.

FileJobDestination

The FileJobDestination handles the process steps provided by the FileJobGate (FileJobProvider or FTPJobProvider) and returns the results to the Job provider.

FTPJobDestination

The FTPJobDestination handles the process steps provided by the FileJobGate (FileJobProvider or FTPJobProvider) and returns the results to the Job provider.

HTTPJobDestination

The HTTPJobDestination sends process steps to a child Job server. The data transfer is carried out by HTTP.

Table 77: One Identity Manager Service Jobgates
Jobgate Description

HTTPJobGate

Consisting of HTTPJobProvider and HTTPJobDestination.

FileJobGate

Consisting of FileJobProvider, FileJobDestination, FTPJobProvider and FTPJobDestination. JobProvider and JobDestinations can be combined with each other.

One Identity Manager Service configuration files

Configuration One Identity Manager Service and its plug-ins with a configuration file. The file has to reside in the same directory as the file viNetworkService. The configuration file is necessary both for One Identity Manager Service on a windows based operating system and for the Linux daemon.

Two configuration file formats are supported:

  • Jobservice.cfg

    Jobservice.cfg is an XML configuration file with its own format. The advantage of this file is that run-time loading is supported.

  • viNetworkService.exe.config

    The viNetworkService.exe.config file is the default configuration file for .NET exes and has the specified format.

The system initially searches for the parameter in the configuration file Jobservice.cfg in order to determine the setups. If the parameter is not found, the file viNetwordService.exe is automatically used. Thus the One Identity Manager Service can only work with the configuration file viNetworkService.exe.config.

In the Designer, configure the One Identity Manager Service in the Base data | Installation | Job server category or by using the Job Service Configuration program.

There is one unique section in the file for each of the different modules in One Identity Manager Service.

Table 78: One Identity Manager Service modules
Module Description

Process collection

Specify the Job provider in this module.

JobDestination

In this module, you specify the job destination.
