• eDirectory IT Resource

• Groupwise IT Resource

GroupWise XRM

You must specify values for the Groupwise XRM IT resource parameters listed in the following table.

Parameter Name	Parameter Description
Service Name	Name of the remote manager Default value: RManager
URL	Host name or IP address of the server hosting the remote manager Sample value: //10.0.0.1:12346

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

eDirectory IT Resource

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

Parameter Name	Parameter Description
Admin Id	DN of the user who has admin rights in the target LDAP If this admin user has read/search rights, then that would be sufficient because this admin user is used only to search for existing users and no modification is done in eDirectory. Sample value: cn=Admin,ou=People, o=xyz
Admin Password	Password of the admin user Sample value: password
Server Address	Host name or IP address of the system hosting the eDirectory server Sample value: 164.164.164.164
Root DN	Base DN from where the search for the user starts and then goes below in the tree Sample value: o=xyz
Port	Port number of the eDirectory server Sample value: 389
SSL	Specifies whether or not SSL is to be used to secure communication between Oracle Identity Manager and Novell GroupWise The value can be true or false. If it is set to true, then you must import the certificate of the eDirectory server into Oracle Identity Manager. Sample value: true
Last Recon TimeStamp	The value is empty for the initial reconciliation run. After that, the time at which the last reconciliation was completed is stored in this parameter. Sample value: 2006-06-02 12:08:06
Prov Attribute Lookup Code	Name of the lookup definition that has the target attribute mappings required for provisioning The value must be AttrName.Prov.Map.EDIR.
Recon Attribute Lookup Code	Name of the lookup definition that has the target attribute mappings required for reconciliation The value must be AttrName.Recon.Map.EDIR.
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 Oracle Internet Directory is used for reconciliation.

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

Groupwise IT Resource

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

Parameter Name	Parameter Description
GroupWise Domain DN or Path	Refer to "GroupWise Domain DN or Path" for detailed information about this parameter.
Admin User ID	DN of the user who has admin rights on the target Novell GroupWise server This admin user must have read/write access to the Novell GroupWise system/domain database. Sample Value: admin Ensure that this DN is entered in the dot format and not in the comma format. For example: cn=admin.ou=admgrp (valid) cn=admin,ou=admgrp (invalid)
Admin Password	Password of the admin user. Sample value: password
eDir Context	The eDirectory context below which the admin user is present. The admin user ID plus this context should be the complete DN of the admin user. This context is usually one level below the eDirectory Tree. Engineering The following are both valid: o=marketing and marketing Therefore, cn=admin.ou=admgrp.o=marketing is the complete DN of the admin user.
eDir Server Address	Host name or IP address of the system hosting the eDirectory server. Sample value: 10.0.0.2
eDir Tree	Name of the eDirectory Tree under which the GroupWise domain is present and also the admin user. This is the topmost level in the eDirectory. Sample value: AcmeWidgets
UseEDirAuth	Whether the target GroupWise uses eDirectory password or GroupWise password for authentication. If it is set to true, then the password is sent as an empty string when the Create Mailbox and Change User password/Reset Password tasks are run. The password specified by the user is ignored. If it is set to false, the password specified is set as the mailbox password. Sample 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.
Recon Attribute Lookup Code	Contains the target attributes to be reconciled. Sample lookup definition: AttrName.Recon.Map.GW

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

GroupWise Domain DN or Path

The complete DN of the Novell GroupWise domain or the path of the domain folder must be specified in one of the following ways:

• Local system path

  The local system path can be specified in one of the following ways:

  • By using the Domain DN path as follows:

    Domain DN: 'cn=GWdomain.ou=org_unit_name.dc=companyname.dc=com.o=org_name'
    
    

    For example:

    Domain DN: 'cn=MyGWdomain.ou=MyDomains.dc=AcmeWidgets.dc=com.o=ACME'
    
    

    Note:

    Use dots (not commas) to separate the object classes as shown in the preceding example.

  • By using the local directory path as follows:

    drive:\\domain_directory_path
    
    

    For example:

    f:\\groupwise\\testdomain
    
    

• UNC Path

  The UNC Path can be specified in one of the following ways:

  • By using the host name as follows

    \\hostname\share\\domainfolder
    
    

    For example

    \\testsvr\\myshare\\testdomain
    
    

  • By using the IP address as follows:

    \\IPaddress\\share_name\\domain_name
    
    

    For example:

    \\10.0.0.1\\myshare\\testdomain
    
    

The recommended method is to use the DN or the local directory path. If the domain is on a different computer, then map that folder locally and mention the local path. Use this method if you are not able to connect to the domain by using the DN.

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

Step 5: 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 three 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 create the remaining scheduled tasks.

After you create the remaining scheduled tasks, proceed to the "Step 6: Compiling Adapters" section.

Specifying Values for the Scheduled Task Attributes

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

• User Reconciliation Scheduled Task

• Distribution List Lookup Field Reconciliation Scheduled Task

• Post Office List Lookup Fields Reconciliation Scheduled Task

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 GroupWise	Groupwise IT Resource
eDirITResourceName	Name of the IT resource for setting up a connection to Novell eDirectory	eDirectory IT Resource
RemoteResourceName	Name of the IT resource in which the remote service name and URL is specified	GroupWise XRM
ResourceObjectName	Name of the resource object into which users need to be reconciled	Groupwise 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

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

Distribution List Lookup Field Reconciliation Scheduled Task

You must specify values for the following attributes of the Distribution List 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.

Attribute Name	Description	Sample/Default Value
LookupCodeName	Name of the master distribution list lookup code table	Lookup.NGW.DistributionLists
ITResourceName	Name of the IT resource for setting up a connection to Novell eDirectory	eDirectory IT Resource
SearchContext	Name of the Novell GroupWise context	O=mpaf_tree
ObjectClass	Name of the object class for the distribution list object	groupWiseDistributionList
ReconMode	Specify REFRESH to completely refresh the existing lookup. Specify UPDATE to update the lookup with the new values.	Refresh

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

Post Office List Lookup Fields Reconciliation Scheduled Task

You must specify values for the following attributes of the Post Office List lookup field 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.

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

Step 6: 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.

• NGW Create Mailbox

• NGW Delete Mailbox

• NGW Disable Mailbox

• NGW Enable Mailbox

• NGW Move User to PostOffice

• NGW Add User to Distribution List

• NGW Remove User from Distribution List

• NGW Add Nickname to User

• NGW Reset Password

• NGW Change User Password

• NGW PP String

• NGW Delete Nickname of User

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.

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 Tools Reference Guide for information about how to use these form.

Step 7: Configuring SSL

Note:

This is an optional step of the deployment procedure.

To set up SSL connectivity between Oracle Identity Manager and the Novell GroupWise server:

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

   keytool -import -file certificate_file_name -alias ndscert -keystore java_home\jre\lib\security\cacerts
   
   

   Here, java_home is the JDK directory used for Oracle Identity Manager.

2. Restart Oracle Identity Manager.

3. In the eDirectory IT Resource IT resource:

   • Set the SSL parameter value to true.

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