Full Reconciliation

Full reconciliation recalculates the existence, ownership, and situation for each account ID listed by the adapter. It examines each Identity Manager user that claims the resource to recalculate ownership.

An Identity Manager user can claim a resource by:

For each account, reconciliation process confirms that any Identity Manager owner recorded in the Account Index still exists and still claims the account. Any account that does not have an owner is correlated with Identity Manager users (as long as reconciliation policy for that resource specifies a correlation rule). If a correlation rule suggests one or more possible owners, then each of them will be double-checked in a confirmation rule (if one is specified). See Correlation and Confirmation Rulesfor more information about rules.

Once a situation has been determined for the account, reconciliation will perform any response that is configured in the reconciliation policy for that resource. If the reconciliation policy specifies a workflow to be performed per-account, full reconciliation will perform this for each account that is reconciled, after the situation action is performed. See Reconciliation Workflows for more information about workflows.
