ITIC Database Connection

Usage and Config BFI
1

Is there any documentation available that specifies how I should set up ITIC to connect to the SUA 9.x database? I have had very little luck.

The best I have found is this document:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21655974

That document hints that there is a database account created called sa, which I can see, but I have no idea what the default password for this account would be. I could also configure another account, but I do not know what sort of permissions need to be assigned for it.

Setting up a connection is pretty easy with ITIC, what I need to know is what information I will need to use to connect to the Bigfix Inventory Database.

Do I need to create a new user on my SQL Server database, and if so with what permissions?

Is there a default user that is set up when installing Bigfix Inventory?

ITIC uses SUA API, not direct database connection

5

Is there any documentation that describes how to configure ITIC for that data source?

i.e. what format URL to use, how to properly configure ITIC with the certificates for our instance of Bigfix Inventory? Whether to use the API token or password for connecting etc.

All fixed:

Switched to using IBM JDK so that I could use ITIC 753. This made SSL certificate issues go away.

Could use some improved instructions though!

Hello @grlucche
You can share the steps you have followed to “Switched to using IBM JDK so that I could use ITIC 753” ? I am having the same trouble integrating BFI with ITIC.
Thanks
