EJB Connection Configuration for Workpoint Designer: Identity Manager

Products

• CA Identity Manager
• CA Identity Suite

Issue/Introduction

This article describes the steps to configure the Identity Manager (IdM) Workpoint Designer to utilize EJB (Enterprise JavaBeans) connections when interfacing with the Virtual Appliance (vApp) environment.

Environment

Identity Manager 14.5

Resolution

1. Configure the Local Environment

1. Edit the init.bat file in the Workpoint Designer \bin folder (e.g., C:\Program Files\Virtual Appliance Tools\CA-IM_WorkpointDesigner\bin).
2. Locate the JBoss section corresponding to your version (EAP 6.1 or Wildfly 8.2).
3. Uncomment the lines starting with _SET EJB_CLASSPATH and SET JAVADPARMS._.
4. Ensure sections for other application servers are commented out.

2. Copy Required Library Files Copy the following JAR files from the vApp (/opt/CA/wildfly-idm/) to the local Workpoint Designer \lib folder:

• bin/client/jboss-client.jar
• modules/system/layers/base/org/jboss/as/naming/main/jboss-as-naming-*.jar (or wildfly-naming-*.jar)
• modules/system/layers/base/org/jboss/msc/main/jboss-msc-*.jar
• jboss-modules.jar

3. Create the Application User

1. Log in to the vApp as the config user.
2. Execute the command: sudo /opt/CA/wildfly-idm/bin/add-user.sh.
3. Select (b) for "Application User".
4. Set the Username (e.g., imuser) and Password.
5. When prompted for "AS process to connect to another AS process," select No.

4. Update Client Properties Edit workpoint-client.properties in the \conf folder and set the following:

• client.connect = EJB
• java.naming.provider.url = http://:8080
• remote.connection.default.username =
• remote.connection.default.password =

Note: After saving changes, you must execute the Restart_IM command on the vApp to apply the new connection settings before launching the Designer.

Additional Information

An alternative (easier) approach can be used to connect CA-IM_Workpoint Designer via XML and this documented in Identity Manager Workpoint Designer Connection Error EJBCLIENT000025 to Virtual Appliance
