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 Sun Java system directory is used to integrate Oracle Identity Manager with Sun Java System Directory.

Note:

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

Reconciliation Module

This section discusses 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 fields for groups, roles, and organization.

User Reconciliation

User reconciliation involves reconciling the fields discussed in this section.

Reconciled Resource Object Fields

The following fields are reconciled:

• User ID

• First Name

• Last Name

• Middle Name

• Department

• Location

• Telephone

• Email

• Communication Language

• Title

• Organization Unit

• Server Name (IT resource)

• Group

• Role

Reconciled Xellerate User Fields

The following fields are reconciled only if reconciliation is implemented in trusted mode:

• UserID

• Password

• Organization

• FirstName

• LastName

• Xellerate Type

• Xellerate

• Role

Provisioning Module

The following fields are provisioned:

• User ID

• First Name

• Last Name

• Middle Name

• Department

• Location

• Telephone

• Email

• Communication Language

• Title

• Organization Unit

• Server Name (IT resource)

• Group

• Role

Files and Directories That Comprise the Connector

The files and directories that comprise this connector are compressed in the following ZIP file on the installation media:

Directory Servers\Sun Java System Directory Server\Sun Java System Directory Server Rev 4.1.0.zip

These files and directories are listed in the following table.

File Name with Path	Description
xml\iPlanetResourceObject.xml	This XML file contains all the components of the connector. These components include the following: IT resource type Custom process form Process task and rule-generator adapters (along with their mappings) Resource object Provisioning process Pre-populate rules Reconciliation process Lookup definitions
xml\iPlanetXLResourceObject.xml	This XML file contains the configuration for the Xellerate User. You must import this file only if you plan to use the connector in trusted source reconciliation mode.
lib\xliIPlanet.jar	This JAR file contains the class files required for provisioning and reconciliation.
troubleshoot\log.properties	This file contains the settings required to create a log file for output generated by the troubleshooting utility.
troubleshoot\TroubleShootingUtilityIPlanet.class	This is the standalone class that interacts with the target system. This is the class that has the code required to run the test cases.
troubleshoot\TroubleShootIPlanet.properties	This file contains the connection details that are required to connect to the target system and user details. It also contains details about the commands to be run.
docs\B31139_01.pdf docs\html	These are PDF and HTML versions of this guide, which provides instructions to deploy the connector.

The "Step 2: Copying the Connector Files and External Code" section provides instructions to copy these files into the required directories.
