This section describes how to use the main features of the Oracle Identity Manager Administrative and User Console. It discusses the following topics:
Many fields in Oracle Identity Manager pages have lookup capabilities. You use these capabilities when you need to locate a record, for example, to find a particular user account, to assign a particular entity to a record, or to add users to requests. Some fields have pre-defined menu choices. Others provide full search capabilities, also referred to as a query function.
This rest of this section discusses the following topics:
To search for a particular record, you can enter information in one or more fields and click Search. Enter as much information as possible about the record you are trying to locate.
For example, if you only remember a user's first name, enter that and leave the other fields blank. Oracle Identity Manager displays all user records that have the same first name as the one you entered.
If you leave all fields blank prior to conducting a search, Oracle Identity Manager displays all records of that type. To restart a search, click Clear. Some screens also provide a Cancel button that you can click to cancel a search.
Note:
Searches in Oracle Identity Manager are case insensitive. For example, you can enter "RAJA" or "raja" to search for a user named Raja.In addition to entering data in fields to limit the records retrieved by your search, you can enter a wildcard characters in addition to the values that you enter in a particular search field. The wildcard causes Oracle Identity Manager to further filter your search.
The asterisk (*) wildcard character represents unspecified portions of field values in a search. You can use the asterisk at the beginning, middle, or end of a value that you enter in a field. For example, if you enter b* in the User ID field and execute a search, Oracle Identity Manager displays all users whose User ID begins with the letter B, for example, bsmith, bobj, barbarak, and so on. If the asterisk is placed in the middle of a search value, as in j*n, Oracle Identity Manager displays all records that begin with j and end with n, for example, john, joan, johann, and so on. If you place the asterisk at the beginning of the search value, as in *A, you retrieve all records that end in A, for example, laura, maria, and so on.
The manner in which the search is constructed and run depends on the type of search you perform. The results you retrieve are based on the context in which you are conducting the search.
If you search for a user record search while creating or tracking a request, Oracle Identity Manager only shows users for whom you are the manager or administrator. The search parameters you enter are combined to retrieve results. For example, if you enter John in the First Name field and NYoffice in the Organization field, Oracle Identity Manager displays all users with a first name of John, who work in the NY office and who are managed by you.
If you are performing a request record search, for example, while tracking requests, you must select which data element of the request you wish to search on. For example, you can search for requests by entering the request ID or a target user's ID, but not both.
The following sections describe how you can configure the Administrative and User Console to meet your data display requirements:
By default, the Administrative and User Console displays entire text entries, regardless of the length of the entry. You can configure the Administrative and User Console so it truncates long text entries using a series of three dots (...).
To customize a field to show the entire entry name:
Find the XellerateFull.ear file.
In this file, find the xlWebApp.war file.
Find the xlWebAdmin.properties file in the following directory:
XL_HOME/xellerate/webapp/precompiled/jsp-temp/WEB-INF/classes
Modify the value of the global.property.tableColumnSize property in the xlWebAdmin.properties file.
The default value is -1, which displays entire text entries. To display text entries with three dots, change the value of the global.property.tableColumnSize property to a positive integer that indicates the number of characters to display. For example, assigning a value of 10 to the global.property.tableColumnSize property displays the first 10 characters of each text entry and truncates any additional characters with three dots.
During the resource provisioning process, by default the Administrative and User Console displays any associated Process Form with a child table that has 10 visible columns or fewer.
The following are examples of Administrative and User Console pages that display child tables with 10 columns at a time:
When you navigate to User Detail, in the Resource Profile and click the Edit or View links for the Resource and Process Form.
When you use the User Direct Provisioning Wizard, Step 3 through Step 6.
When you navigate to Organization Detail, in the Resource Profile and click the Edit or View links for the Resource and Process Form.
When you use the Organization Direct Provisioning Wizard, Step 3 through Step 6.
When you navigate to Resource Detail, in the Organizations Associated with this Resource, and click the Edit or View links for the Resource and Process Form.
To display a child table with more than 10 columns:
Open the xlDefaultAdmin.properties file from the following directory:
XL_HOME/xellerate/webapp/precompiled/jsp-temp/WEB-INF/classes
Modify the value of global.property.NumberOfChildTableColumns.
The default is 10 columns. You can change it to the desired number.
