Environment

NetIQ Aegis 3.0
NetIQ Aegis 2.3
NetIQ Aegis 2.2
Microsoft System Center Operations Manager adapter for NetIQ Aegis
NetIQ Security Manager adapter for NetIQ Aegis

Situation

When installing an Aegis adapter released prior to April 2011 on a new installation of NetIQ Aegis 2.2, 2.3, or 3.0, the installation will fail or the Adapter will not function properly.

Resolution

To install any Aegis adapter released prior to April 2011, follow the process below.  The NetIQ Aegis Adapter for AppManager and the NetIQ Aegis Adapter for Security Manager have additional steps, described further down in this article.
  1. If UAC enabled, disable the UAC or run the installer as administrator.
  2. If UAC disabled, just run the installer.
  3. Run batch files:

    1. Open a command prompt and go to C:\Program Files\NetIQ\Aegis\IQConnect73\bin
    2. Run this command:

      CopySpecificAdapterFiles.bat<adapter file name>

      For example: CopySpecificAdapterFiles.bat AMAdapterFileList.txt

      This should copy .dll files required for running activities into IQConnect73\bin from IQConnect\bin

 

Post-Install Steps for NetIQ Aegis Adapter for NetIQ Security Manager 1.2

After you install IQSM 1.2, Aegis will not be able to connect to the Security Manager server. Follow the process below:

  1. Delete value of password for one of the profiles under IQSM (go to "....\NetIQ\AegisIQConnect\providers\IQSM\ConfigurationGroups\<SM server machine name#>instance name>#OnePoint>\<SM server machine name>").
  2. Open the "Aegis configuration utility" and renter the correct SM password and click Exit. This will save the password and run a re-encryption tool to encrypt the password correctly in the registry.
  3. Open a administrator command prompt and go to "....netiq\aegis\iqconnect73\bin" (commonly:  "c:\program files\netiq\aegis\iqconnect73\bin").
    Execute this command ReencryptPasswordsWithCerts.exe -f RegistryKeys_IQSM.txt.

              (This will also reencrypt the registry correctly)

  4. After run the command ‘CopySpecificAdapterFiles.bat <adapter file name>’ we need to restart the follow services:
    • 'NetIQ Aegis Namespace Provider’ service (which restarts the ‘NetIQ Aegis Activity Broker’ and ‘NetIQ Aegis Engine’ services)
    • ‘NetIQ Aegis Namespace Provider (pre 2.2)’ service.
