You can create an Optim™ directory connection manually in the connection manager before the Optim directory is created with the Optim Configuration program. The Optim directory connection contains the connection information for the Optim directory and the Java™ Database Connectivity (JDBC) driver for the Optim directory database.
You must use a user account with ocmadmin or admin access to access the connection manager.
The connection manager must have a JDBC driver for the Optim directory database. If the connection manager does not have the correct JDBC driver, you must have the JDBC driver to upload to the connection manager. Upload the JDBC driver when you create the Optim directory connection.
