Option SDI Deployment Steps
If you are installing a new deployment of Connections 7 SDI version 7.2 should be installed and used in conjunction with Connections 7. Perform the following:1. You can download Security Directory Integrator (SDI) v7.2 from the HCL Software License and Download Portal, in the "WebSphere Application Server 8.5.5 and Select Fix Packs" package.
2. Upgrade SDI to Fixpack 6 by replacing the UpdateInstaller.jar with the Fixpack 6 file from your TDI/V7.2/maintenance directory. You can install Fixpack 6 from the TDI/V7.2/bin directory by running the following command: 
```

./applyUpdates.sh -update /install/TDI72/7.2.0-ISS-SDI-FP0006/SDI-7.2-FP0006.zip ```
