Verifying Enterprise Identity Mapping identity token connection factory prerequisite applications

Use the following procedure to verify that the necessary prerequisites have been installed before using the Enterprise Identity Mapping (EIM) identity token connection factory.

Before you begin

Before you can use the EIM identity token connection factory, you must have the required cumulative program temporary fix (PTF) applied to your server. You might also need to apply PTFs to run the sample application.

About this task

Perform the following steps to verify that you have the necessary prerequisites installed to use the EIM identity token connection factory:

Procedure

  1. Verify that OS/400® - Extended Base Directory Support (5761–SS1 or 5770-SS1 option 3) is installed on the IBM® i system that hosts WebSphere® Application Server. This product is a requirement for the EIM Identity Token Connection Factory.
  2. Verify that the latest operating system PTFs are applied to your IBM i system for the EIM Identity Token Connection Factory. For information about the latest operating system PTFs, search the Technotes for EIM Identity Token Connection Factory on the WebSphere Application Server support page at: https://www.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/support.html.
  3. Install the required PTFs for the sample application.

    To run the sample application, verify that the latest IBM Toolbox for Java™ service packs and the required operating system PTFs are installed on all of your iSeries servers. For information on obtaining the latest service packs and required operating system PTFs, see Toolbox for Java and JTOpen Service Packs.

Results

After verifying that you have the necessary prerequisite applications installed, you can configure EIM for use with the identity token connection factory.
