6.2 Configuring the Subscriber Channel

The Subscriber channel sends information from the Identity Vault to the Web service. To establish a secure connection for the Subscriber channel, you need a trust store containing a certificate issued by the certificate authority that signed the server’s certificate. See Configuring the Publisher Channel for an example.

  1. Make sure you have a server certificate signed by a certificate authority.

  2. Import the certificate into your trust store or create a new trust store by entering the following command at the command prompt:

    keytool -import -file name_of_cert_file -trustcacerts -noprompt -keystore filename -storepass password

    For example:

    /opt/netiq/common/jre/bin/keytool -import -file tree_ca_root.b64 -trustcacerts -noprompt -keystore dirxml.keystore -storepass novell

    For more information on keytool, see Keytool - Key and Certificate Management Tool.

  3. Configure the Subscriber channel to use the trust store you created in Step 2:

    1. In OpenText Identity Console, in the Identity Manager view, click IDM Administration.

    2. Locate the driver set containing the REST driver, then click the driver’s icon to display the configuration page.

    3. Go to Configuration > Driver Parameters, then go to Subscriber Settings.

    4. In the Keystore File, specify the path to the trust store you created in Step 2.

  4. Click Apply, then click OK.
