Installing the CMS Notification Plugin

The CMS Notification Plugin will subscribe to events that are published by the CMS. Used with the IdExchange Microservice, messages from the CMS can be routed to the IDMS to enable real time credentialing monitoring, improve reports and automated certificate renewal processing.

3. Copy the json-simple-1.1.1.jar and IdExchange.Cms.Plugin.jar to the C:\Program Files\HID Global\Credential Management System\cms_portal\WEB-INF\lib folder
