5.1 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 truststore containing a certificate issued by the certificate authority that signed the server’s certificate.

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

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

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

    For example:

    keytool -import -file tree_ca_root.b64 -trustcacerts -noprompt -truststore dirxml.truststore -storepass novell

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

    1. In iManager, in the Roles and Tasks view, click Identity Manager > Identity Manager Overview.

    2. Locate the driver set containing the ServiceNow driver, then click the driver’s icon to display the Identity Manager Driver Overview page.

    3. On the Identity Manager Driver Overview page, click the driver’s icon again, then scroll to Driver Settings.

    4. Select No in the Always accept server certificate field.

    5. In the Truststore File Path, specify the path to the trust store you created in step 2.

  4. Click Apply, then click OK.
