Identity Manager 9.1 - Installation Guide

The Manager web application is accessed over a browser.

Use the appropriate URL for this:

The application update happens automatically if the Auto update plugin is enabled for the web application.

To run an update, first load the files to be updated into the One Identity Manager database. The necessary files are loaded into the One Identity Manager database and updated when a hotfix, a service pack, or a full version update is run.

The Automatic update plugin performs a check when the application is started, and every approx. 5 minutes thereafter. New files are loaded from the database as they are identified. The plugin cannot update the files while the application is running. The update waits until the application is restarted.

The application is restarted automatically by the web server when it has been idle for a defined length of time. This may take some time or be hindered by continuous user requests.

When you log in, you need to be aware of the difference between a database user and a user of individual One Identity Manager tools (system user). Several system users can work with one database user.

Login takes place in two steps:

• Selecting the database connection to log in to the database

• Selecting the authentication procedure and finding the system user for logging in.

  Permitted system user IDs are determined by the authentication module you select. One Identity Manager provides various authentication modules for this purpose.

The One Identity Manager tools can only be started if the user has the relevant program function permissions. Some administration tools expect a specific access level for the selected SQL Server login.

For more information about the One Identity Manager authentication modules and program functions, see the One Identity Manager Authorization and Authentication Guide.
