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 Novell GroupWise is used to integrate Oracle Identity Manager with Novell GroupWise.

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

• Gateway Account ID

• Gateway Access

• Distribution List

  • Dist List

  • Participation

• Nick Names

  • Nick Name

  • NNVisibility

• eDir Server Name

• GW Server Name

Provisioning Module

The following fields are provisioned:

• User ID

• Visibility

• File ID

• Exp Date

• Gateway Account ID

• Gateway Access

• Distribution List

  • Dist List

  • Participation

Determining the Release Number of the Connector

You can determine the release number of the connector at any of the following stages:

Before Deployment

To determine the release number of the connector before you deploy it:

1. Extract the contents of the xliGroupWise65.jar file. This file is in the lib directory inside the installation media directory.

2. Open the manifest.mf file in a text editor, which is one of the files bundled inside the xliGroupWise65.jar file.

   In the manifest.mf file, the release number of the connector is displayed as the value of the Version property.

Note: If you maintain a copy of the xliGroupWise65.jar file after deployment, you can use this method to determine the release number of the connector at any stage. However, after you deploy the connector, it is recommended that you use the After Deployment method.

During Deployment

To determine the release number of the connector while deploying the connector, refer to Step 4 of the procedure described in the "Step 4: Importing the Connector XML File" section .

After Deployment

To determine the release number of the connector after deploying the connector:
