After you import the connector XML file, proceed to the "Step 4: Configuring Reconciliation" section.

Defining IT Resources

You must specify values for the eDirectory IT Resource IT resource parameters listed in the following table.

Parameter Name	Parameter Value
Admin ID	DN value of the user who has admin rights on the target Novell eDirectory server Default value: cn=Admin,ou=People,dc=pxed,dc=example,dc=com,o=PXED-DEV
Admin Password	Password of the administrator
Server Address	Server address of the target Novell eDirectory server Default value: 172.20.36.65
Root DN	Base DN on which all user operations are to be carried out Default value: dc=pxed,dc=example,dc=com,o=PXED-DEV
Port	Port number to connect to the target Novell eDirectory server Default value: 391
SSL	If set to true, then SSL is used to secure communication between Oracle Identity Manager and Novell eDirectory. Default value: false
Last Recon TimeStamp	The value is empty for the first reconciliation run. After that, the time at which the last reconciliation run was completed is stored in this parameter. Default value: 20060519120000Z In this sample value: 2006 is the year 05 is the month 19 is the day of the month 12 is the hour 00 is the minute 00 is the second The letter Z is required at the end
Prov Attribute Lookup Code	Name of the lookup definition that has the target attribute mappings required for provisioning Default value: AttrName.Prov.Map.EDIR Note: This value should not be changed.
Recon Attribute Lookup Code	Name of the lookup definition that has the target attribute mappings required for reconciliation Default value: AttrName.Recon.Map.EDIR Note: This value should not be changed.
Use XL Org Structure	If set to true, then the Oracle Identity Manager Organization structure is used during provisioning and reconciliation. If set to false, then the value of the Organization field in the process form is used for provisioning and the organization or container in the target LDAP is used for reconciliation. Default value: false

After you specify values for these IT resource parameters, go to Step 9 of the procedure to import the connector XML file.

Step 4: Configuring Reconciliation

Configuring reconciliation involves creating scheduled tasks for lookup fields and user reconciliations. To create these scheduled tasks:

1. Open the Oracle Identity Manager Design Console.

2. Expand the Xellerate Administration folder.

3. Select Task Scheduler.

4. Click Find. The details of the predefined scheduled tasks are displayed on two different tabs.

5. Enter a number in the Max Retries field. This number represents the number of times Oracle Identity Manager should attempt to complete the task before assigning the ERROR status to the task.

6. Ensure that the Disabled and Stop Execution check boxes are cleared.

7. In the Start region, double-click the Start Time field. From the date-time editor that is displayed, select the date and time at which you want the task to run.

8. In the Interval region, set the following schedule parameters:

   • To set the task to run on a recurring basis, select the Daily, Weekly, Recurring Intervals, Monthly, or Yearly option.

     If you select the Recurring Intervals option, then you must also specify the time interval at which you want the task to run on a recurring basis.

   • To set the task to run only once, select the Once option.

9. Provide values for the attributes of the scheduled task. Refer to the appropriate table in the "Specifying Values for the Scheduled Task Attributes"section for information about the values to be specified.

   See Also:

   Oracle Identity Manager Design Console Guide for information about adding and removing task attributes

10. Click Save. The scheduled task is created. The INACTIVE status is displayed in the Status field, because the task is not currently running. The task is run at the date and time that you set in Step 7.

11. Repeat Steps 5 through 10 to define the second scheduled task.

After you define both scheduled tasks, proceed to the "Step 5: Compiling Adapters" section.

Specifying Values for the Scheduled Task Attributes

This section provides information about the attribute values to be specified for the following scheduled tasks:

• Lookup Fields Reconciliation Scheduled Task

• User Reconciliation Scheduled Task

Lookup Fields Reconciliation Scheduled Task

You must specify values for the following attributes of the lookup fields reconciliation scheduled task.

Note:

Attribute values are predefined in the connector XML file that you import. Specify values only for those attributes that you want to change.

You must define a scheduled task for each master lookup data reconciliation: Group, Role, and Profile.

Attribute Name	Description	Sample/Default Value
LookupCodeName	Name of the lookup definition to which the values are to be reconciled	Lookup.EDIR.Groups
ITResourceName	Name of the IT resource for setting up a connection to Novell eDirectory	eDirectory IT Resource
SearchContext	Search context to be used for searching for users	Sample value: DC=mycompany,DC=com
ObjectClass	Name of the object class, such as GroupOfNames and rBSRole	GroupOfNames
CodeKeyLTrimStr	String value for left-trimming the value obtained from the search. For example, cn= or uid=. If there is nothing to be trimmed, then specify the value [NONE].	[NONE]
CodeKeyRTrimStr	String value for right-trimming the value obtained from the search. For example, ,DC=mycompany,DC=com. If there is nothing to be trimmed, then specify the value [NONE].	Sample value: ,DC=mycompany,DC=com
ReconMode	Specify REFRESH to completely refresh the existing lookup. Specify UPDATE if you want to update the lookup with the new values.	REFRESH or UPDATE

After you specify values for these scheduled task attributes, go to Step 10 of the procedure to create scheduled tasks.

User Reconciliation Scheduled Task

You must specify values for the following attributes of the user reconciliation scheduled task.

Note:

Attribute values are predefined in the connector XML file that you import. Specify values only for those attributes that you want to change.

Attribute Name	Description	Sample/Default Value
ITResourceName	Name of the IT resource for setting up a connection to Novell eDirectory	eDirectory IT Resource
ResourceObjectName	Name of the resource object into which users need to be reconciled	eDirectory User
XLDeleteUsersAllowed	If this attribute is set to true, then the Delete reconciliation event is started. Users who are deleted from the target system are removed from Oracle Identity Manager. This requires all the users on the target system to be compared with all the users in Oracle Identity Manager. Note: This process affects performance.	true
UserContainer	DN value from where users are reconciled into Oracle Identity Manager	Sample value: ou=user
Keystore	Directory path to the Novell eDirectory keystore. This is required to make a secure SSL connection. If an SSL connection is not required, then specify the value[NONE].	Sample value: E:\j2sdk1.4.2_05\jre\lib\security\cacerts or [NONE]

After you specify values for these scheduled task attributes, go to Step 10 of the procedure to create scheduled tasks.

Step 5: Compiling Adapters

The following adapters are imported into Oracle Identity Manager when you import the connector XML file. You must compile these adapters before you can use them to provision accounts on the target system.

• eDir Create User

• eDir Delete User

• eDir Modify User

• eDir Move User

• eDir Add User to Group

• eDir Remove User from Group

• eDir Add Trustee Right to User

• eDir Remove Trustee Right from User

• eDir Add Assigned Role to User

• eDir Remove Assigned Role from User

• eDir Add Network Restriction

• eDir Remove Network Restriction

• eDir PP String

To compile adapters by using the Adapter Manager form:

1. Open the Adapter Manager form.

2. To compile all the adapters that you import into the current database, select the Compile All option.

   To compile multiple (but not all) adapters, select the adapters you want to compile. Then, select the Compile Selected option.

   Note:

   Click Compile Previously Failed to recompile only those adapters that were not compiled successfully. Such adapters do not have an OK compilation status.

3. Click Start. Oracle Identity Manager compiles the adapters that you specify.

To view detailed information about an adapter:

1. Highlight the adapter in the Adapter Manager form.

2. Double-click the row header of the adapter, or right-click the adapter.

3. Select Launch Adapter from the shortcut menu that is displayed. Details of the adapter are displayed.

Note:

To compile multiple adapters simultaneously, use the Adapter Manager form. To compile one adapter at a time, use the Adapter Factory form. Refer to Oracle Identity Manager Administrative and User Console for information about how to use these forms.

Step 6: Configuring SSL

Note:

This is an optional step of the deployment procedure.

To enable SSL connectivity between Oracle Identity Manager and the target Novell eDirectory:

1. Import the certificate from the target system into the JSDK (the JSDK that is used during installation of Oracle Identity Manager Server) cacerts keystore as follows:

   keytool -import -file certificate_file_name -alias ndscert -keystore E:\j2sdk1.4.2_05\jre\lib\security\cacerts
   

2. Restart the Oracle Identity Manager server.

3. In the eDirectory IT Resource IT resource definition:

   • Set the SSL parameter value to true.

   • Change the Port parameter value to the SSL port number. Typically, this number is 636.
