Launch the Resource Connector in the Docker Container


 
You can launch one Resource Connector instance only in a host or VM.

Run the connector.sh script to deploy the resource connector in the Docker container. You can also use the connector.sh script to start and stop the resource connector.

Set the name of the resource connector with the connector_name variable. connector_name accepts a sequence of 1–40 alphanumeric characters , and the minus sign (-) or underscore (_) characters.

The connector.sh script sets up a service in the /etc/service/connector_svc directory. If the Docker container stops, the connector.sh service relaunches the container with the resource connector automatically.

  1. Log into the host or VM with a user that has sudo permissions.
  2. Run the connector.sh script. Provide the name of the Resource Connector (connector_name) and the provisioning key (provisioning_key) for the Resource Connector Group that includes the resource connector.
    sudo /opt/connector/install/connector.sh launch --name <connector_name> --key <provisioning_key>
    
  3. Sign into Secure Access and confirm that the Resource Connector deployed. The resource connector that is deployed in the Docker container should provision and then display in Secure Access. For more information, see Add Connectors to a Connector Group: Confirm Connectors.

 
If you provide an incorrect provisioning key for the Resource Connector Group, the Docker container will start, but the resource connector will not be able to provision and register with Secure Access. If this occurs, we recommend that you delete the Docker container and deploy the connector again.
