Preparation

The following are required on the Bravura Security Fabric server in order to integrate Connector Pack with Microsoft Lync:

  • Windows 2012 Server R2

  • Connection to Microsoft Lync 2010 or 2013 server

Before Bravura Security Fabric can manage accounts in Lync, you must:

  1. Join the server with the Active Directory domain which is the Microsoft Lync server domain.

  2. Install Microsoft Lync management tools:

    1. Log into the domain as a member of the Administrators group.

    2. Run setup for Lync core.

    3. After core installation is complete, install admintools.

  3. Verify that Lync Management Shell launches correctly and can contact the Lync server.

    If using Windows 2012 R2, you may have to manually launch Lync Management Shell through Windows PowerShell initially.

Configuring a target system administrator

Bravura Security Fabric uses a designated account (for example psadmin) to create and manage accounts for Lync.

Lync accounts are managed by an Microsoft Active Directory domain administrator. The administrative account must be created on the Lync server as a Domain User with membership in the Administrators group and the Domain Admins group.

Ensure that you set and note the account’s password. You will be required to enter the login ID and password when you add the target system to Bravura Security Fabric .

After the account is created, the services that run the connector (Transaction Monitor Service (idtm) or Proxy Service (psproxy)) need to be updated to run under this Domain account. You must grant sufficient privileges to the Domain user on the Server member before it can run the service.
