1 About the Connector

Oracle Identity Manager automates access rights management, security, and provisioning of IT resources. Oracle Identity Manager connectors are used to integrate Oracle Identity Manager with third-party applications. The connector for Sun Java System Directory is used to integrate Oracle Identity Manager with Sun Java System Directory.

Note:

Oracle Identity Manager connectors were referred to as resource adapters prior to the acquisition of Thor Technologies by Oracle.

Reconciliation Module

This section discusses the elements that the reconciliation module extracts from the target system to construct reconciliation event records.

Reconciliation can be divided into the following types:

Lookup Fields Reconciliation
User Reconciliation

Lookup Fields Reconciliation

Lookup fields reconciliation involves reconciling the fields for groups, roles, and organization.

User Reconciliation

User reconciliation involves reconciling the fields discussed in this section.

Reconciled Resource Object Fields

The following fields are reconciled:

User ID
First Name
Last Name
Middle Name
Department
Location
Telephone
Email
Communication Language
Title
Organization Unit
Server Name (IT resource)
Group
Role

Reconciled Xellerate User Fields

The following fields are reconciled only if reconciliation is implemented in trusted mode:

UserID
Password
First Name
Last Name
Role

Provisioning Module

The following fields are provisioned:

User ID
First Name
Last Name
Middle Name
Department
Location
Telephone
Email
Communication Language
Title
Server Name (IT resource)

Files and Directories That Comprise the Connector

The files and directories that comprise this connector are compressed in the following directory on the installation media:

Directory Servers\Sun Java System Directory Server

These files and directories are listed in the following table.

File in the Installation Media Directory	Description
lib\xliIPlanet.jar	This JAR file contains the class files required for provisioning and reconciliation.
Files in the `resources` directory	Each of these resource bundle files contains language-specific information that is used by the connector. Note: A resource bundle is a file containing localized versions of the text strings that are displayed on the user interface of Oracle Identity Manager. These text strings include GUI element labels and messages displayed on the Administrative and User Console.
troubleshoot\TroubleShootingUtilityIPlanet.class	This is the standalone class that interacts with the target system. This is the class that has the code required to run the test cases.
troubleshoot\log.properties	This file is used to specify the log level and the directory in which the log file is to be created when you run the troubleshooting utility.
troubleshoot\TroubleShootIPlanet.properties	This file contains the connection details that are required to connect to the target system and user details. It also contains details about the commands to be run.
xml\iPlanetResourceObject.xml	This XML file contains definitions for the following components of the connector: IT resource type Custom process form Process task and rule-generator adapters (along with their mappings) Resource object Provisioning process Pre-populate rules Reconciliation process Lookup definitions
xml\iPlanetXLResourceObject.xml	This XML file contains the configuration for the Xellerate User. You must import this file only if you plan to use the connector in trusted source reconciliation mode.

Note:

The files in the troubleshoot directory are used only to run tests on the connector.

The "Step 2: Copying the Connector Files" section provides instructions to copy these files into the required directories.

Determining the Release Number of the Connector

To determine the release number of the connector that you have deployed:

Extract the contents of the xliIPlanet.jar file. For a connector that has been deployed, this file is in the following directory:
```
OIM_home\xellerate\JavaTasks
```
Open the manifest.mf file in a text editor. The manifest.mf file is one of the files bundled inside the xliIPlanet.jar file.

In the manifest.mf file, the release number of the connector is displayed as the value of the Version property.
