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 PeopleSoft User Management is used to integrate Oracle Identity Manager with PeopleSoft User Management.
Note:
Oracle Identity Manager connectors were referred to as resource adapters prior to the acquisition of Thor Technologies by Oracle.This chapter contains the following sections:
Note:
In this guide:Each occurrence of "PeopleTools 8.22" refers to the entire range of PeopleTools releases from 8.10 through 8.22.
Each occurrence of "PeopleTools 8.4x" refers to the entire range of PeopleTools releases from 8.40 through 8.46.
The following table lists the functions that are available with this connector.

See Also:
Oracle Identity Manager Globalization Guide for information about supported special charactersThis 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 topics:
The following lookup fields are reconciled:
LanguageCode
EmployeeId
CurrencyCode
PermissionList
EmailTypes
The EmailTypes lookup field is reconciled only in PeopleTools 8.4x, because PeopleTools 8.22 does not support multiple e-mail types.
UserRoles
User reconciliation involves reconciling the following fields of PeopleSoft User Management:
UserId
UserDescription
EmployeeId
PrimaryEmailAddress (PeopleTools 8.4x only)
PrimaryEmailType (PeopleTools 8.4x only)
Email Address (PeopleTools 8.22 only)
MultiLanguageCode
LanguageCD
CurrencyCode
Alias (PeopleTools 8.4x only)
RowSecurityPermission
ProcessProfilePermission
NavigatorHomePagePermission
PrimaryPermission
Secondary EmailAddresses (PeopleTools 8.4x only)
Secondary EmailTypes (PeopleTools 8.4x only)
Role
The connector supports user data reconciliation in two ways:
Bulk reconciliation (first-time reconciliation)
Bulk reconciliation involves reconciling records of existing users using a flat file. The flat file is generated using an Application Engine program written in PeopleCode. This program is run using PeopleSoft Application Designer.
In change-based reconciliation, data for any newly created or updated user is reconciled instantaneously. This type of reconciliation is performed using PeopleSoft Application Messaging Architecture.
Change-based reconciliation involves the use of:
A PeopleCode trigger that generates an XML message containing updated information
Attribute definitions (usually resource parameters) to be synchronized
A Web service that acts as a passive listener for XML messages from PeopleSoft
An XML file, USR_MGMT_MSG.xml, that defines the schema of the XML message received from PeopleSoft
The synchronization process from PeopleSoft User Management to Oracle Identity Manager involves the following steps:
User information is updated in PeopleSoft User Management. This activates a PeopleCode trigger.
The PeopleCode trigger generates an XML message containing the updated user information and sends it to the listener for the PeopleSoft User Management connector.
The listener forwards the XML message to the PeopleSoft User Management connector using HTTP.
The PeopleSoft User Management connector receives the XML message and sends a reconciliation event to the Oracle Identity Manager.
The files and directories that comprise this connector are compressed in the following directory on the installation media:
Enterprise Applications\PeopleSoft Enterprise Applications\PeopleSoft User Management

Note:
The files in the
test directory are used only to run tests on the connector.The "Step 2: Copying the Connector Files and External Code" section provides instructions to copy these files into the required directories.
To determine the release number of the connector:
Extract the contents of the PSFTBaseReconciliation.jar file. This file is in the lib\ScheduleTask directory inside the installation media directory.
Open the manifest.mf file in a text editor. The manifest.mf file is one of the files bundled inside the PSFTBaseReconciliation.jar file.
In the manifest.mf file, the release number of the connector is displayed as the value of the Version property.
