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 IBM Lotus Notes and Domino is used to integrate Oracle Identity Manager with IBM Lotus Notes and Domino.

Note:

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

Supported Functionality

The following table lists the functions that are available with this connector.

Function	Type	Description
Add User	Provisioning	Creates a user
Delete User	Provisioning	Deletes a user
Update User Last Name	Provisioning	Updates the last name of a user
Update User First Name	Provisioning	Updates the first name of a user
Update User Middle Name	Provisioning	Updates the middle name of a user
Update User Organization Unit	Provisioning	Updates the organization unit of a user
Update User Short Name	Provisioning	Updates the short name of a user
Update User Mail Internet Address	Provisioning	Updates the e-mail address of a user
Update User Location	Provisioning	Updates the location of a user
Update User Comment	Provisioning	Updates the comment of a user
Update User Forward Domain	Provisioning	Updates the e-mail address to which e-mail for the user should be forwarded
Update User Password	Provisioning	Updates the user password and resets the ID file
Disable User	Provisioning	Disables a user
Enable User	Provisioning	Enables a user
Reconcile lookup field	Reconciliation	Reconciles the lookup fields
Reconcile User Data	Reconciliation	Trusted mode: Reconciles user data from IBM Lotus Notes and Domino to Oracle Identity Manager. A corresponding user is created in Oracle Identity Manager. If the user already exists in Oracle Identity Manager, then this user is updated. Nontrusted mode: Reconciles user data from IBM Lotus Notes and Domino to Oracle Identity Manager. A user is not created in Oracle Identity Manager.

Note:

• The Delete User provisioning function is implemented by using the DeleteUser Administration Process (AdminP) function of IBM Lotus Notes and Domino. Similarly, the RenameNotesUser AdminP function is used to implement the following provisioning functions:

  Update User Last Name

  Update User First Name

  Update User Middle Name

  Update User Organization Unit

• When you create a user, you must specify the End Date in the DD/MM/YY format.

Reconciliation Module

This section describes the elements that the reconciliation module extracts from the target system to construct reconciliation event records.

Reconciliation can be divided into the following types:

• Lookup Fields Reconciliation

• User Reconciliation

Lookup Fields Reconciliation

Lookup fields reconciliation involves reconciling the Group lookup field.

User Reconciliation

User reconciliation involves reconciling the fields that are used to store user information in IBM Lotus Notes and Domino. These fields are:

• FirstName

• MiddleName

• LastName

• ShortName

• Password

• OrgUnit

• MailInternetAddress

• Location

• Comment

• ForwardDomain

• EndDate

• SecurityType

• Group

• OldLastName

• OldFirstName

• OldMiddleName

• OldOrgUnit

Provisioning Module

The following fields of IBM Lotus Notes and Domino are provisioned:

• FirstName

• MiddleName

• LastName

• ShortName

• Password

• OrgUnit

• MailInternetAddress

• Location

• Comment

• ForwardDomain

• EndDate

• SecurityType

• Group
