Installing

Installing the adapter mainly involves importing the adapter profile and creating an adapter service. Depending on the adapter, several other tasks can be involved to completely install it.

If the Lotus Notes Adapter is not automatically installed with your IBM Security Verify Governance Identity Manager product, use the adapter installer to manually install the adapter.

The installation program for the Lotus Notes Adapter is available for download from the IBM® Web site. Contact your IBM account representative for the Web address and download instructions.

Before you begin to install the Lotus Notes Adapter, verify that the following conditions are met:
  • Any existing instance of the Lotus Notes Adapter must not be running.

    If the Lotus Notes Adapter is running, use the Services window to stop the adapter.

  • When you are installing the Lotus Notes Adapter, you must use the Administrator's ID file, so that the adapter has administrator privileges.
  • The ID file that is specified during installation must have system administrator authority.
  • You must verify that the Domino Administrator can communicate with the Lotus Domino server. Use a low-level communications ping to ensure that the client can communicate with the server appropriately.
  • The workstation ID must have Full Remote Console Access to perform the AdminP operations successfully. The adapter uses the ID to authenticate with the Lotus Domino server. If you do not provide the required permissions:
    • All the AdminP commands fail that the adapter submits.
    • IBM Security Verify Governance Identity Manager generates the following message: Unable to process the Administration Request. You are not authorized to use the remote console on this server.
    Note:
    • The adapter creates the AdminP request in the admin4.nsf database and successfully completes the AdminP operation.
    • You can verify the errors in the IBM Security Verify Governance Identity Manager audit log.
