Updating the IBM OpenPages SDI Connector for UCF Common Controls Hub

If you use the IBM OpenPages® SDI Connector for UCF Common Controls Hub connector, you need to update it. Do these steps after you install IBM OpenPages with Watson™ 8.2.0.1 or later.

Before you begin

  • IBM OpenPages with Watson 8.2.0.1 or later is installed.
  • You installed and configured IBM OpenPages SDI Connector for UCF Common Controls Hub in 8.2.0.0 or earlier.

About this task

Do this task if you are using IBM® Security Directory Integrator 7.2.0.3. If you are using 7.2.0.5 and you already patched Java™ to update it to Java 8 (see step 3), you can skip this task.

Procedure

  1. In IBM Security Directory Integrator, locate your ucf_integration project and rename it. For example, name it old_ucf_integration
  2. Install IBM Security Directory Integrator Fix Pack 6.
  3. Patch the version of Java to update it to Java 8.
    For more information, see technote 720-iss-sdi-la0019.
  4. On the IBM OpenPages with Watson application server, go to the <OP_HOME>/integrations/UCF directory and locate the ucf_integration.xml file.
  5. Copy the file to the server where Security Directory Integrator is installed.
  6. Import the ucf_integration.xml file as a new project in Security Directory Integrator.
    1. Click File > Import > IBM Security Directory Integrator > Configuration.
    2. Click Next.
    3. Select New Project in the Project list.
    4. Click File.
    5. Click the browse button next to the Configuration File field. Select the ucf_integration.xml file.
    6. Click Finish.
    7. Name the project ucf_integration.
    8. Click Finish.
      The project is displayed in the SDI Configuration Editor and the project files are created in your SDI workspace directory. Your project has the updated assembly lines.
  7. Copy the connection properties files from your old project to your new project.
    • op_client.properties
    • passwords.properties
  8. Refresh the property files and the connector with the updated connection information.
    1. In the Navigator pane, expand Resources > Properties.
    2. Right-click op_client, and then click Open.

    6. Click Read properties from Server, and then click Send properties to Server.
    7. Click Save, and then close the window.
  9. Optional: Disable the TLS 1.0 protocol in IBM Security Directory Integrator.
    IBM Security Directory Integrator 7.2.0.6 supports later versions of the TLS protocol. Depending on your security requirements, you might need to disable TLS 1.0. For more information, see Disabling TLS 1.0 for TDI/SDI.
