Creating a Quest One Identity Manager connection

One Identity Quick Connect Sync Engine supports Quest One Identity Manager out of the box, so you can create a connection to Identity Manager right after you install One Identity Quick Connect Sync Engine.

To connect to Identity Manager, One Identity Quick Connect Sync Engine requires certain Dynamic Link Library (DLL) files supplied with Identity Manager. Before creating a connection to Identity Manager make sure that One Identity Quick Connect Sync Engine can access these DLL files as described in Step 1: Provide access to Identity Manager DLLs.

To create a new connection to Identity Manager, complete these steps:

• Step 1: Provide access to Identity Manager DLLs
• Step 2: Configure a connection to Quest One Identity Manager

Step 1: Provide access to Identity Manager DLLs

Make sure that One Identity Quick Connect Sync Engine can access the required Identity Manager DLLs. Depending on the Identity Manager version to which you want to connect, perform the corresponding steps in the next table.

If Identity Manager is installed to a non-default installation folder, complete the following additional steps:

1. Use a text editor (such as Notepad) to open the ConnectorConfig.xml file located in
   <One Identity Quick Connect Sync Engine installation folder>\Q1IMConnector

   This is the file where Quest One Identity Manager connector saves its configuration settings. For more information on these settings, see Quest One Identity Manager Connector configuration file.

2. Create a new <PathToOneIdentityManagerDlls> XML element in the file and then type the path to the Identity Manager installation folder in that element.

   Example:

   <PathToOneIdentityManagerDlls>C:\IdentityManagerInstallationFolder</PathToOneIdentityManagerDlls>

3. Save the changes, and then close the .xml file.

   Do one of the following:

• If you installed One Identity Quick Connect Sync Engine on the Identity Manager computer, restart the Quick Connect Service on that computer.
• If you installed the Connector Access Service on the Identity Manager computer, restart the service.
