Installing additional modules for a existing One Identity Manager installation

To add more One Identity Manager modules to an existing One Identity Manager installation, perform the following steps:

  1. Install the One Identity Manager components included in the module on workstations and servers.

    Update the workstation to be used to start the One Identity Manager database schema installation with the installation wizard. All other workstations and servers obtain the new components through automatic software udpates. Use the installation wizard to manually update individual workstations and servers.

  2. Install the module in the One Identity Manager database.

    IMPORTANT: This updates the database with an additional module. After installing the extra module, all the other database module are processed.

    If support sent you hotfixes for this version, then these hotfixes must also be reinstalled.

To install components of a module on the workstation

  1. Run the program autorun.exe from the root directory on the One Identity Manager installation medium.

  2. Switch to the Installation section. Select the edition that you installed.

  3. Click Install.

    This starts the installation wizard.

  4. Follow the installation instructions. In the process, note the following:

    1. On the Installation settings page, enter the following information:

      • Installation source: Select the directory containing the installation files.

      • Installation directory: Select your current installation directory. Otherwise, the components are not updated and a new installation is created in the second directory instead.

      • Add further modules to the selected edition: Enable the option.

    2. On the Module selection page, select the additional module to install.

    3. If you update the workstation that is going to start the One Identity Manager database schema, you can start the Configuration Wizard on the last page of the installation wizard.

To install the module extensions in the One Identity Manager database

  1. Start the Configuration Wizard on the administrative workstation.

  2. On the Configuration Wizard home page, select the Update database option and click Next.

  3. Follow the installation instructions. In the process, note the following:

Installing and updating an application server

The application server provides a connection pool for accessing the database. Clients send their queries to the application server, which processes the objects, for example, by determining values using templates and sending the results back to the clients. The data from the application is sent to the database when an object is saved.

Before installation ensure that the minimal hardware and software prerequisites are fulfilled on the server.

NOTE: On Linux operating systems, use of oneidentity/oneim-appserver docker images is recommended.

Detailed information about this topic

Tips for installing an application server

  • If you want to run the One Identity Manager Service or the Designer through an application server, the application server requires sufficient permissions for a configuration user. Use the SQL Server login to connect to the One Identity Manager database and to authenticate against the One Identity Manager database when you install the application server.

  • To limit permissions for end users, you can make other application servers available that use the SQL Server login for end users.

  • To use the Web Portal or full text search in the Manager, you need an application server with a search service installed on it.

  • Start the application server installation locally on the server.

  • Use the QBM | AppServer | SessionTimeout configuration parameter to add the timeout in hours, after which inactive application server sessions are closed. The default value is 24 hours. In the Designer, edit the configuration parameter.

Installing application servers

IMPORTANT: Start the application server installation locally on the server.

NOTE: On Linux operating systems, use of oneidentity/oneim-appserver docker images is recommended.

To install an application server

    Name used as application name, as in the title bar of the browser, for example.

    Target in IIS

    Internet Information Services web page on which to install the application.

    Enforce SSL

    Specifies whether secure or insecure websites are available to install. If the option is set, only sites secured by SSL can be used for installing. This setting is the default value. If this option is not set, insecure websites can be used for installing.

    URL

    The application's Uniform Resource Locator (URL).

    Install dedicated application pool

    Specifies whether an application pool is installed for each application. This allows applications to be set up independently of one another. If this option is set, each application is installed in its own application pool.

    Application pool

    The application pool to use. This can only be entered if the Install dedicated application pool option is not set.

    If you use the DefaultAppPool default value, the application pool has the following syntax:

    <application name>_POOL

    Identity

    Permissions for running an application pool. You can use a default identity or a custom user account.

    If you use the ApplicationPoolIdentity default value, the user account has the following syntax:

    IIS APPPOOL\<application name>_POOL

    You can authorize another user by clicking ... next to the box, enabling the Custom account option and entering the user and password.

    Web authentication

    Type of authentication against the web application. You have the following options:

    • Windows authentication (single sign-on)

      The user is authenticated against the Internet Information Services using their Windows user account and the web application logs in the employee assigned to the user account as role-based. If single sign-on is not possible, the user is diverted to a login page. You can only select this authentication method if Windows authentication is installed.

    • Anonymous
