This figure conceptually illustrates the three-step process of how an application is asynchronously provisioned from the Oracle Internet Directory Self-Service Console, by using bulk provisioning with the Directory Integration Assistant, or from third-party directories. The first step illustrates a new user entry being created in Oracle Internet Directory by showing an arrow pointing from three boxes that represent each of the creation components to a box representing Oracle Internet Directory. The second step illustrates the Oracle directory integration platform identifying new users entries in Oracle Internet Directory that require provisioning by showing a bidirectional arrow between the Oracle Internet Directory box and a box representing the Oracle directory integration platform. The third step illustrates the Oracle directory integration platform provisioning the new user accounts in the application by showing a bidirectional arrow between the Oracle directory integration platform box and a box representing a provisioning-integrated application.
