Identity Manager 9.2.1 - 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 plug-in 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 plug-in 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 plug-in 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:

1. Selecting the database connection to log in to the database

   You can login to the database via an application server or a direct connection to the database.

2. Selecting the authentication method 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.

   NOTE: After the initial schema installation, only the System user and ComponentAuthenticator authentication modules and the role-based authentication modules are enabled in One Identity Manager. For more information about One Identity Manager authentication modules, see the One Identity Manager Authorization and Authentication Guide.

   NOTE: Use non role-based authentication modules to log in to the Designer. Role-based authentication modules for logging in to the Designer are not supported.
