Populating Oracle Identity Analytics With User Information From Oracle Identity Manager

Refer to the use cases in this section if you have user entitlements in Oracle Identity Manager that you want to use to populate the Oracle Identity Analytics Identity Warehouse. Importing users and roles from Identity Manager into Oracle Identity Analytics should be a one-time event that takes place when first configuring the systems.

Use Case 1: Importing Global Users From Oracle Identity Manager Into Oracle Identity Analytics

The users existing in Oracle Identity Manager (Xellerate End Users) are imported as global users in Oracle Identity Analytics on a scheduled basis. The attributes of the users in OIM are mapped to global user properties in Oracle Identity Analytics by way of a map. Extended attributes in OIM can be imported as custom properties in Oracle Identity Analytics.

The following table contains the default mapping of user attributes between Oracle Identity Analytics and Oracle Identity Manager.

To Import Users From Oracle Identity Manager Into Oracle Identity Analytics

1. Log in to Oracle Identity Analytics.

2. Choose Administration > Configuration.

3. Click Import/Export.

4. To start a new import job, choose Schedule Job > Import > Import Users.

5. Under Data Selection Source, select the appropriate Connection Name and click Next.

6. Complete the form by entering the Name and Description of the Job.

7. Choose one of the following tasks:

   • To run the job immediately, select the Run the Job Now option.

   • To schedule the job for later, clear the Run the Job Now option and enter the details of the scheduled job.

8. Click Finish.

   The import users job runs on the scheduled date and time.

9. Verify that the users are imported into Oracle Identity Analytics from Identity Manager by accessing the Users View in Oracle Identity Analytics (choose Identity Warehouse > User).

Use Case 2: Importing Resource Metadata From Oracle Identity Manager Into Oracle Identity Analytics

In the Oracle Identity Analytics integration with Identity Manager, information on resource metadata can be imported from Identity Manager to Oracle Identity Analytics. This eliminates the need to manually recreate resource metadata in Oracle Identity Analytics.

To Import Resource Metadata From Identity Manager Into Oracle Identity Analytics

1. Log in to Oracle Identity Analytics.

2. Choose Administration > Configuration.

3. Click Import/Export.

4. To start a new import job, choose Schedule Job > Import > Import Resource Metadata.

   The next page will prompt you to choose the resource from the list of available resources for which metadata on attributes needs to be imported.

5. Select the specific resource type.

6. Under Data Selection Source, select the appropriate Connection Name and click Next.

7. Complete the form by entering the Name and Description of the Job.

8. Choose one of the following:

   • To run the job immediately, select the Run the Job Now option.

   • To schedule the job for later, clear the Run the Job Now option and enter the details of the scheduled job.

9. Click Finish to generate the Import Job.

   The import resource metadata job runs on the scheduled date and time.

10. Verify that the resource metadata was properly imported into Oracle Identity Analytics by accessing the Oracle Identity Analytics Resources Types tab (choose Configuration > Resources Types).

Use Case 3: Importing Resources From Identity Manager Into Oracle Identity Analytics

With out-of-the-box integration capabilities, Oracle Identity Analytics can import resources from Oracle Identity Manager to Oracle Identity Analytics. This eliminates the need to manually create the resources in Oracle Identity Analytics. ITResource in OIM corresponds to a resource in Oracle Identity Analytics.

To Import Resources From Identity Manager Into Oracle Identity Analytics

1. Log in to Oracle Identity Analytics.

2. Choose Administration > Configuration.

3. Click Import/Export.

4. To start a new import job, choose Schedule Job > Import > Import Resources.

5. Under Data Selection Source, select the appropriate Connection Name and click Next.

6. Complete the form by typing a name and description for the job.

7. Choose one of the following tasks:

   • To run the job immediately, select the Run the Job Now option.

   • To schedule the job for later, clear the Run the Job Now option and enter the details of the scheduled job.

8. Click Finish to generate the import job.

   The import resources job runs on the scheduled date and time.

9. Verify that the resources are imported into Oracle Identity Analytics from Identity Manager by accessing the Oracle Identity Analytics Resources tab (choose Identity Warehouse > Resources).

Use Case 4: Importing Roles From Identity Manager Into Oracle Identity Analytics

Groups defined in OIM are imported as Roles within Oracle Identity Analytics. This import also pulls in the relationship between the Group to Access Policy within OIM as Roles-Policy relationship within Oracle Identity Analytics. This requires a successful policy import.

In addition, this step also imports the group-user relationship from OIM and recreates it as a role-user relationship in Oracle Identity Analytics. To establish role-user relationship, ensure that users are imported.

To Import Role From Identity Manager Into Oracle Identity Analytics

1. Log in to Oracle Identity Analytics.

2. Choose Administration > Configuration.

3. Click Import/Export.

4. To start a new import job, choose Schedule Job > Import > Import Roles.

5. Under Data Selection Source, select the appropriate Connection Name and click Next.

6. Complete the form by typing a name and description for the job.

7. Choose one of the following tasks:

   • To run the job immediately, select the Run the Job Now option.

   • To schedule the job for later, clear the Run the Job Now option and enter the details of the scheduled job.

8. Click Finish to generate the import job.

   The import resources job runs on the scheduled date and time.

9. Verify that the roles are imported into Oracle Identity Analytics from Identity Manager by accessing the Oracle Identity Analytics Roles tab (choose Identity Warehouse > Resources).
