Generating Security identifiers to be used in configuration
We need to generate Security Identifiers (SID) values for installing Connections Content Manager with a new FileNet deployment or an existing FileNet deployment.
A Security Identifier (SID) is an internal ID used within Connections Content Manager and FileNet. This internal ID is used to reference a user in some areas of configuration. Specifically, you will need SIDs when setting up anonymous access and configuring indexing. Follow these instructions if you chose to install Connections Content Manager with a new FileNet deployment.
- Find the tool under the <Connections_HOME>\addons\ccm\ccmDomainTool.
- Generate the SID value for an associate username:
- Windows: generateSID.bat
- Linux, AIX : generateSID.sh
- IBM i: generateSID.sh
You will be asked for the following inputs:
- Domain admin user password
- Username to generate the SID for.
Once these inputs have been collected the program will return the SID value.
Results
If this script experiences a problem and the domain or object store is new, it might indicate a problem with the initial creation of the FileNet P8 Domain or Object Store. Review the troubleshooting section to ensure that your domain and object store were created successfully using the scripts provided in Configure Libraries automatically.
