This chapter contains the following sections:
Note:
These sections provide both conceptual and procedural information about configuring the connector. It is recommended that you read the conceptual information before you perform the procedures.First-time reconciliation involves synchronizing lookup definitions in Oracle Identity Manager with the lookup fields of the target system, and performing full reconciliation. In full reconciliation, all existing user records from the target system are brought into Oracle Identity Manager.
The following is the sequence of steps involved in reconciling all existing user records:
Note:
In Oracle Identity Manager release 11.1.1 or Oracle Identity Manager release 11.1.2, a scheduled job is an instance of a scheduled task. In this guide, the term scheduled task used in the context of Oracle Identity Manager release 9.1.0.x is the same as the term scheduled job in the context of Oracle Identity Manager release 11.1.1 and Oracle Identity Manager release 11.1.2.See Oracle Fusion Middleware System Administrator's Guide for Oracle Identity Manager for more information about scheduled tasks and scheduled jobs.
Perform lookup field synchronization by running the scheduled tasks provided for this operation.
See Section 3.2, "Lookup Field Synchronization" for information about the attributes of the scheduled tasks for lookup field synchronization.
See Section 3.4, "Configuring Scheduled Tasks" for information about running scheduled tasks.
Perform user reconciliation by running the scheduled task for user reconciliation.
See Section 3.3.4, "Reconciliation Scheduled Tasks" for information about the attributes of this scheduled task.
See Section 3.4, "Configuring Scheduled Tasks" for information about running scheduled tasks.
The RACF lookup fields reconciliation scheduled task is used for lookup fields reconciliation.
Table 3-1 lists the attributes of this scheduled task. See Section 3.4, "Configuring Scheduled Tasks" for information about configuring scheduled tasks.
Note:
Attribute values are predefined in the connector XML file that you import. Specify values only for those attributes that you want to change.
Values (either default or user-defined) must be assigned to all the attributes. If even a single attribute value were left empty, then reconciliation would not be performed.
Table 3-1 Attributes of the Scheduled Tasks for Lookup Field Synchronization
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
|
Server |
Name of the IT resource instance that the connector uses to reconcile data Default value: |
|
LookupField Name |
Name of the lookup field to be reconciled The value can be any one of the following:
Default value: |
|
LookupField Target File |
Name of the file that you create on the target system server to store temporary data Note: You must create this file on the target system before you begin using the connector. Valid file name up to 8 characters in length Default value: |
|
RACF Source Directory |
Name of the directory on the IBM Mainframe server to which you copy the RACF scripts while performing the procedure described in Section 2.3.3, "Postinstallation on the Target System." Default value: |
|
LookupType |
Specifies the type of lookup reconciliation to be performed The value can be any one of the following:
Default value: |
Reconciliation involves duplicating in Oracle Identity Manager the creation of and modifications to user accounts on the target system. This section discusses the following topics related to configuring reconciliation:
Full reconciliation involves reconciling all existing user records from the target system into Oracle Identity Manager. After you deploy the connector, you must first perform full reconciliation.
To perform a full reconciliation run:
Ensure that the following schedules task attributes do not contain a value:
Filter Auditor Privilege (Y/N)
Filter Default Group
Filter Group Access Privilege (Y/N)
Filter Name
Filter Operations Privilege (Y/N)
Filter Owner
Filter Special Privilege (Y/N)
Filter User Id
Filter Type (AND/OR)
Set the value of the Trial attribute of the user reconciliation scheduled task to No.
At the end of the reconciliation run, the Last Recon TimeStamp parameter of the GroupWise IT Resource IT resource is automatically set to the time stamp at which the run started. From the next reconciliation run onward, only records created or modified after this time stamp are considered for reconciliation. This is incremental reconciliation.
By default, all target system records that are added or modified after the last reconciliation run are reconciled during the current reconciliation run. You can customize this process by specifying the subset of added or modified target system records that must be reconciled. You do this by creating filters for the reconciliation module.
Creating a filter involves specifying a value for a target system attribute, which will be used in the query SELECT criteria to retrieve the records to be reconciled. You can specify values for any one or a combination of the following filter attributes:
Filter Auditor Privilege (Y/N)
Filter Default Group
Filter Group Access Privilege (Y/N)
Filter Name
Filter Operations Privilege (Y/N)
Filter Owner
Filter Special Privilege (Y/N)
Filter User Id
Filter Type (AND/OR)
If you want to use multiple target system attributes to filter records, then you must also specify the logical operator (AND or OR) that you want to apply to the combination of target system attributes that you select.
The value of the Filter Type (AND/OR) attribute is applied to the rest of the filter attribute values that you specify. For example, suppose you specify the following values:
Filter Default Group: sales
Filter User Id: jdoe
Filter Type (AND/OR): AND
When this scheduled task is run, records for which the user ID is jdoe and the default group value is sales are reconciled. If you were to specify OR as the value of the Filter Type (AND/OR) attribute, then records that satisfy any one filter criteria are reconciled.
See Section 3.3.4, "Reconciliation Scheduled Tasks" for information about specifying values for these attributes and the logical operator that you want to apply.
During a reconciliation run, all changes in the target system records are reconciled into Oracle Identity Manager. Depending on the number of records to be reconciled, this process may require a large amount of time. In addition, if the connection breaks during reconciliation, then the process would take longer to complete.
You can configure batched reconciliation to avoid these problems.
To configure batched reconciliation, you must specify values for the following submitjob user reconciliation scheduled task attributes:
Trial: Use this attribute to specify whether to perform batched reconciliation. The default value is Yes.
trialCount: Use this attribute to specify the total number of batches that must be reconciled. The default value is All.
If you specify a value other than All, then some of the newly added or modified user records may not get reconciled during the current reconciliation run. The following example illustrates this:
Suppose you specify the following values while configuring the scheduled tasks:
Trial: Yes
trialCount: 10
Suppose that 314 user records were created or modified after the last reconciliation run. Of these 314 records, only 310 records would be reconciled during the current reconciliation run. The remaining 4 records would be reconciled during the next reconciliation run.
You specify values for the Trial and trialCount attributes by following the instructions described in Section 3.3.4, "Reconciliation Scheduled Tasks".
When you run the Connector Installer or import the connector XML file, the following reconciliation scheduled tasks are automatically created in Oracle Identity Manager:
Section 3.3.4.1, "Submitjob User Reconciliation Scheduled Task"
Section 3.3.4.2, "GetData User Reconciliation Scheduled Task"
Fetching user data from the target system during reconciliation is a two-stage process. In the first stage, user data is extracted from the target system repository and copied to a file that you specify. In the second stage, the contents of the file are brought into Oracle Identity Manager.
The following scheduled tasks are used to submit the job that extracts user data and copies it into a file:
Note:
You must specify values for the attributes of one of these scheduled tasks.RACF submit job reconciliation
RACF submit job trusted reconciliation
Table 3-2 describes the attributes of these scheduled tasks.
Note:
Attribute values are predefined in the connector XML file that you import. Specify values only for those attributes that you want to change.
Values (either default or user-defined) must be assigned to all the attributes. If even a single attribute value were left empty, then reconciliation would not be performed.
