System requirements for the One Identity Safeguard synchronization server

To set up synchronization with a One Identity Safeguard appliance, a server must be available on which the following software is installed:

  • Windows operating system

    The following versions are supported:

    • Windows Server 2008 R2 (non-Itanium based 64-bit) service pack 1 or later

    • Windows Server 2012

    • Windows Server 2012 R2

    • Windows Server 2016

    • Windows Server 2019

  • Microsoft .NET Framework Version 4.7.2 or later

    NOTE: Take the target system manufacturer's recommendations into account.

  • Windows PowerShell version 5 or later

  • Windows PowerShell Module safeguard-ps

Installing the safeguard-ps Windows PowerShell module

You will find the Windows PowerShell modules for supporting One Identity Safeguard versions on the One Identity Manager installation medium in the Modules\PAG\dvd\AddOn\safeguard-ps directory.

IMPORTANT: Ensure that the major and the minor version of the Windows PowerShell module match the major and the minor version of your One Identity Safeguard appliance.

To install the Windows PowerShell module

  1. Create a subdirectory called safeguard-ps, in the server's %ProgramFiles%\WindowsPowerShell\Modules directory.

  2. Copy the directory with the Windows PowerShell module matching the version from the Modules\PAG\dvd\AddOn\safeguard-ps directory on the One Identity Manager installation medium to the %ProgramFiles%\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\safeguard-ps directory on the server.

Installing One Identity Manager Service with One Identity Safeguard connector

The One Identity Manager Service with the One Identity Safeguard connector must be installed on the synchronization server. The synchronization server must be declared as a Job server in One Identity Manager.

NOTE: If several target system environments of the same type are synchronized under the same synchronization server, it is recommended that you set up a Job server for each target system for performance reasons. This avoids unnecessary swapping of connections to target systems because a Job server only has to process tasks of the same type (re-use of existing connections).

Use the One Identity Manager Service to install the Server Installer. The program executes the following steps:

  • Sets up a Job server.

  • Specifies machine roles and server function for the Job server.

  • Remotely installs One Identity Manager Service components corresponding to the machine roles.

  • 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. By default, 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 detailed information about setting up Job servers, see the One Identity Manager Configuration Guide.

NOTE: The program performs a remote installation of the One Identity Manager Service. Local installation of the service is not possible with this program. Remote installation is only supported within a domain or a trusted domain.

To remotely install the One Identity Manager Service, you must have an administrative workstation on which the One Identity Manager components are installed. For detailed information about installing a workstation, see the One Identity Manager Installation Guide.

To remotely install and configure One Identity Manager Service on a server

  1. Start the Server Installer program on your administrative workstation.

  2. On the Database connection page, enter the valid connection credentials for the One Identity Manager database.

  3. On the Server properties page, specify the server on which you want to install the One Identity Manager Service.

    1. Select a Job server from the Server menu.

      - OR -

      To create a new Job server, click Add.

    2. Enter the following data for the Job server.

      • Server: Name of the Job server.

      • Queue: Name of the queue to handle the process steps. Each One Identity Manager Service within the network must have a unique queue identifier. The process steps are requested by the Job queue using this unique queue identifier. The queue identifier is entered in the One Identity Manager Service configuration file.

      • Full server name: Full server name in accordance with DNS syntax.

        Syntax:

        <Name of servers>.<Fully qualified domain name>

      NOTE: You can use the Extended option to make changes to other properties for the Job server. You can also edit the properties later with the Designer.

  4. On the Machine roles page, select Privileged Account Management.

  5. On the Server functions page, select One Identity Safeguard connector.

  6. On the Service Settings page, enter the connection data and check the One Identity Manager Service configuration.

    NOTE: The initial service configuration is predefined. If further changes need to be made to the configuration, you can do this later with the Designer. For detailed information about configuring the service, see the One Identity Manager Configuration Guide.

    • For a direct connection to the database:

      1. Select Process collection | sqlprovider.

      2. Click the Connection parameter entry, then click the Edit button.

      3. Enter the connection data for the One Identity Manager database.

    • For a connection to the application server:

      1. Select Process collection, click the Insert button and select AppServerJobProvider.

      2. Click the Connection parameter entry, then click the Edit button.

      3. Enter the connection data for the application server.

      4. Click the Authentication data entry and click the Edit button.

      5. Select the authentication module. Depending on the authentication module, other data may be required, such as user and password. For detailed information about the One Identity Manager authentication modules, see the One Identity Manager Authorization and Authentication Guide.

  7. To configure remote installations, click Next.

  8. Confirm the security prompt with Yes.

  9. On the Select installation source page, select the directory with the install files.

  10. On the Select private key file page, select the file with the private key.

    NOTE: This page is only displayed when the database is encrypted.

  11. On the Service access page, enter the service's installation data.

    • Computer: Name or IP address of the server that the service is installed and started on.

    • Service account: User account data for the One Identity Manager Service.

      • To start the service under another account, disable the Local system account option and enter the user account, password and password confirmation.

    • Installation account: Data for the administrative user account to install the service.

      • To use the current user’s account, set the Current user option.

      • To use another user account, disable the Current user option and enter the user account, password and password confirmation.

    • To change the install directory, names, display names, or description of the One Identity Manager Service, use the other options.

  12. Click Next to start installing the service.

    Installation of the service occurs automatically and may take some time.

  13. Click Finish on the last page of the Server Installer.

    NOTE: In a default installation, the service is entered in the server’s service management with the name One Identity Manager Service.

Preparing the administrative workstation for access to the One Identity Safeguard appliance

To configure synchronization with a Synchronization Editor appliance in One Identity Safeguard, One Identity Manager must load the data directly from the appliance. If the appliance is accessed directly from the work station on which the Synchronization Editor is installed, the following software must also be installed on this workstation:

  • Windows PowerShell version 5 or later

  • Windows PowerShell Module safeguard-ps

In the certificate store of the user logged on to the administrative workstation, the user account requires the certificate with the private key that is saved on the One Identity Safeguard appliance as a trusted certificate. The certificate must be the same certificate used by the synchronization user. For more detailed information about certificates in One Identity Safeguard, see the One Identity Safeguard Administration Guide.

If direct access from the workstation to the appliance is not possible, you can set up a remote connection.
