To view attestation request details:

  1. Click the link for the Last Completion or Current Request Page fields listed in the table on the Attestation Dashboard page.

    The Attestation Request Detail page displays the request details for the selected attestation process, along with a table that contains the following columns:

    Column Description

    User

    User whose entitlement is being attested. The data is displayed as a link. When you click the link, the user profile page is displayed with the user details for the attestation date.

    Resource

    Resource that is the basis for the entitlement being attested. The data is displayed as a link. When you click the link, a page is displayed with the process form data of the entitlement for the attestation date.

    Clicking the link displays a Delegation Path page that provides information about the delegation path of the attestation request.

    The Data Attested field shows details about the entitlement being attested. It constructs the value by putting together user information, the resource name, and descriptive data in the following format:

14.2 E-Mail Notification

As part of the attestation process, the attestation engine sends e-mail to concerned parties at various stages. You can configure e-mail content by using e-mail templates of the General type in Oracle Identity Manager Email Definition store.

In the templates, the form user is defined as XELSYSADM. You can change it to a different user. You must ensure that the e-mail address is defined for the user selected to use these templates. Otherwise, the system may not be able to send out notifications.

The following e-mail notification templates are available:

  • Notify Attestation Reviewer: Used for sending e-mail when an attestation task is assigned to a reviewer.

  • Notify Delegated Reviewers: Used for sending e-mail to reviewers when an attestation task is delegated to them.

  • Notify Declined Attestation Entitlements: Used for sending e-mail to users in the Process Owner group if a reviewer declines any entitlements.

  • Attestation Reviewers With No E-Mail Defined: Used for sending e-mail to users in the Process Owner group if an e-mail address is not defined for any of the reviewers.

14.3 Attestation Grace Period Checker Scheduled Task

A system scheduled task called Attestation Grace Period Checker is used to examine the attestation processes defined in Oracle Identity Manager and to create the required attestation tasks.

The features of the Attestation Grace Period Checker scheduled task are:

  • The scheduled task is set to run every 30 minutes by default. You can change this according to your requirement.

  • The scheduled task examines all active attestation processes.
