13.3 Configuring Application Provisioning Properties

After you register a provisioning-integrated application, you must configure its properties. Each application's provisioning profile maintains its own provisioning configuration properties. Provisioning-integrated applications use properties to store the following types of metadata:

• Application identity information

• Identity realm information

• Default application provisioning policies

• Application attribute properties and defaults

• Application provisioning plug ins

• Application event interface information

• Application event propagation information

The Oracle Provisioning Service supports three versions of provisioning profiles: 1.1, 2.0, and 3.0. Version 3.0 provisioning profiles are only available with Oracle Identity Management 10g Release 2 (10.1.2). Different applications support different provisioning profile versions. For example, many Oracle applications only support version 2.0. However, Oracle Collaboration Suite supports provisioning profile version 3.0. The primary differences between the provisioning profile versions are as follows:

• You can only use the Provisioning Console to provision target applications that support provisioning profile version 3.0. Although applications that only support provisioning profile versions 1.1 and 2.0 will not be available in the Provisioning Console, they will be notified of events for which they are configured.

• Provisioning applications that support provisioning profile versions 1.1 and 2.0 is a single-step process involving the oidprovtool utility, which is described in "The Provisioning Subscription Tool (oidprovtool)". However, provisioning applications that support provisioning profile version 3.0 is a multiple step process, which is described in centralized user provisioning Java API reference chapter of the Oracle Identity Management Application Developer's Guide.

• The Oracle Provisioning Service only maintains user provisioning status for applications that support provisioning profile version 3.0.
