Java Proxy with IBM Tivoli Monitoring

We can use the Agent Management Services of the Tivoli® Monitoring Version 6.2.2, Fix Pack 2.0 to manage the Java Proxy process of password synchronizers.

The monitoring behavior of the Agent Management Services towards a particular agent is governed by the settings in an XML-based policy file. This policy file is referred to as a Common Agent Package (CAP) file. These services are available in the IBM Tivoli Monitoring OS Monitoring Agent for the Windows, Linux, and UNIX platforms. The Agent Management Services are designed to keep the Java Proxy process available and to provide the information about its status to the Tivoli Enterprise Portal. For more information about Agent Management Services, see http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v15r1/topic/com.ibm.itm.doc_6.2.2/itm_agentmgmtsvcs_intro.htm.

Managing the Java Proxy with IBM Tivoli Monitoring is optional. Each Password Synchronizer has an associated CAP file that describes its Java Proxy process. After the installation, all the CAP files are available in the TDI_install_dir/pwd_plugins/cap/ directory. The following table lists the available CAP files:

Password Synchronizer	CAP File
Windows Password Synchronizer:	tdi_ad_plugin_default.xml
IBM Security Directory Server Password Synchronizer	tdi_tds_plugin_default.xml
Sun Directory Server Password Synchronizer	tdi_sun_plugin_default.xml
PAM Password Synchronizer	tdi_pam_plugin_default.xml
Domino® HTTP Password Synchronizer	tdi_domino_plugin_default.xml

You must copy the appropriate CAP file to the correct directory for IBM Tivoli Monitoring to recognize that the proxy is available to be managed.

On UNIX or Linux, the directory is: /opt/IBM/CAP

On Windows, the directory is: %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\ApplicationData\IBM\CAP

Before we can use the CAP files, modify them to contain the correct path to the installation of SDI.
