1 About the Connector

Oracle Identity Manager automates access rights management, security, and provisioning of IT resources. Oracle Identity Manager connectors are used to integrate Oracle Identity Manager with third-party applications. The connector for Oracle eBusiness User Management is used to integrate Oracle Identity Manager with Oracle eBusiness User Management.

Note:

Oracle Identity Manager connectors were referred to as resource adapters prior to the acquisition of Thor Technologies by Oracle.

Lookup Fields Reconciliation

Lookup fields reconciliation involves reconciling the Responsibility lookup field.

User Reconciliation

User reconciliation involves reconciling the fields that are used to store user information in Oracle eBusiness User Management. These fields are:

• username

• E-mail

• Desc

• lifeSpanType

• lifeSpanValue

• startDate

• endDate

• employeeId

• respName

• respStartDate

• respEndDate
