This chapter describes how to create an account in Oracle Identity Manager, and how to log in and out of Oracle Identity Manager using that account.
This chapter discussed the following topics:
If you do not already have account in Oracle Identity Manager, you need to create one. A user ID cannot include the following characters:
; # / % = | +, \ " < >
Depending on how your system is configured, you may need to contact your manager to have them create an account for you.
Also, depending on how your system is configured, requests for self-registration may require approvals. If approvals are not required, your account is created and available for use as soon as Oracle Identity Manager has processed your self-registration request. If your system administrator has set Oracle Identity Manager to require approvals for self-registration requests, you can track the status of that request. When the required approvals are obtained, your account is ready for use.
Note:
If approval is required for your request, write down the Request ID after submitting your request. You need the request ID to track the status of your request.To create an account for yourself:
Access your corporate portal link to Oracle Identity Manager.
The Oracle Identity Manager landing page appears.
From the landing page for Oracle Identity Manager, find the Self-Register label in the left navigation pane and click Create Request.
The User Self-Registration page appears.
Enter your data.
Required information is marked with an asterisk (*). Be sure to select and specify answers to password challenge questions if your system requires them. Depending on how your system administrator configured Oracle Identity Manager, you may be required to specify answers to a number of challenge questions to reset your password when you forget it.
Click Submit Request.
Oracle Identity Manager informs you that the request has been submitted and displays the numeric ID of the request so that you can track it. Write down the Request ID after submitting your request. You need the request ID to track the status of your request.
A link to the request appears.
If your request requires an approval, on the Oracle Identity Manager landing page, click the Track Request option under Self-Register in the left navigation pane.
The Track Self-Registration request page appears. You can check the status of your request on this page by entering the numeric ID of the request.
If you have forgotten your Oracle Identity Manager password, you can contact your system administrator to have your account unlocked, or you can reset it from a page where you are prompted to answer several validation questions. If you supply the correct answers to these questions, Oracle Identity Manager enables you to change your password.
You can reset your password even if you exceed the maximum number of login retry attempts, and your Oracle Identity Manager account is locked to prevent further attempts at login. However, if you exceed the maximum number of attempts to correctly answer your challenge questions, your account is locked and can only be unlocked by an Oracle Identity Manager system administrator.
