AS400 connector

You can use the AS400 connector to manage and synchronize users between AS400 and IDM or Advanced Identity Cloud.

Before you start

These instructions assume you have an AS400 administrator account and you have access to AS400. You need the following information to configure the connector:

Host Name

The name or IP address of the host where AS400 is running.

Username

The AS400 Organizational Admin username.

Password

The AS400 Organizational Admin password.

Is Secure

Whether to enable a secure connection to AS400.

Install the AS400 connector

If you are looking for the Advanced Identity Cloud application for this connector, refer to:

You can download any connector from Backstage, but some are included in the default deployment for Advanced Identity Cloud, IDM, or RCS. When using an included connector, you can skip installing it and move directly to configuration.

Connector included in default deployment
Connector IDM RCS

AS400

No

Yes

Download the connector .jar file from Backstage.

  • If you are running the connector locally, place it in the /path/to/openidm/connectors directory, for example:

    mv ~/Downloads/as400-connector-1.5.20.23.jar /path/to/openidm/connectors/

  • If you are using a remote connector server (RCS), place it in the /path/to/openicf/connectors directory on the RCS.

Configure the AS400 connector

Create a connector configuration using the IDM admin UI:

  1. From the navigation bar, click Configure > Connectors.

  2. On the Connectors page, click New Connector.

  3. On the New Connector page, type a Connector Name.

  4. From the Connector Type drop-down list, select AS400 Connector - 1.5.20.23.

  5. Complete the Base Connector Details.

    For a list of all configuration properties, refer to AS400 Connector Configuration

  6. Click Save.

When your connector is configured correctly, the connector displays as Active in the admin UI.

Refer to this procedure to create a connector configuration over REST.

Test the AS400 connector

Test that the configuration is correct by running the following command:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request POST \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/as400?_action=test"
{
  "name": "as400",
  "enabled": true,
  "config": "config/provisioner.openicf/as400",
  "connectorRef": {
    "bundleVersion": "[1.5.0.0,1.6.0.0)",
    "bundleName": "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.as400-connector",
    "connectorName": "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.as400.As400Connector"
  },
  "displayName": "AS400 Connector",
  "objectTypes": [
    "__ACCOUNT__",
    "__ALL__",
    "__GROUP__"
  ],
  "ok": true
}

If the command returns "ok": true, your connector has been configured correctly and can authenticate to the AS400 system.

AS400 remote connector

If you want to run this connector outside of PingOne Advanced Identity Cloud or IDM, you can configure the AS400 connector as a remote connector. Java Connectors installed remotely on a Java Connector Server function identically to those bundled locally within PingOne Advanced Identity Cloud or installed locally on IDM.

You can download the AS400 connector from here.

Refer to Remote connectors for configuring the AS400 remote connector.

OpenICF Interfaces Implemented by the AS400 Connector

The AS400 Connector implements the following OpenICF interfaces. For additional details, see ICF interfaces:

Create

Creates an object and its uid.

Delete

Deletes an object, referenced by its uid.

Schema

Describes the object types, operations, and options that the connector supports.

Script on Connector

Enables an application to run a script in the context of the connector.

Any script that runs on the connector has the following characteristics:

  • The script runs in the same execution environment as the connector and has access to all the classes to which the connector has access.

  • The script has access to a connector variable that is equivalent to an initialized instance of the connector. At a minimum, the script can access the connector configuration.

  • The script has access to any script arguments passed in by the application.

Search

Searches the target resource for all objects that match the specified object class and filter.

Test

Tests the connector configuration.

Testing a configuration checks all elements of the environment that are referred to by the configuration are available. For example, the connector might make a physical connection to a host that is specified in the configuration to verify that it exists and that the credentials that are specified in the configuration are valid.

This operation might need to connect to a resource, and, as such, might take some time. Do not invoke this operation too often, such as before every provisioning operation. The test operation is not intended to check that the connector is alive (that is, that its physical connection to the resource has not timed out).

You can invoke the test operation before a connector configuration has been validated.

Update

Updates (modifies or replaces) objects on a target resource.
