After you deploy the connector, you must test it to ensure that it functions as expected. You can conduct provisioning tests on the connector. This type of test involves using Oracle Identity Manager to provision one of its users or organizations with a target resource. In other words, Oracle Identity Manager is the starting point of the connector and the target resource is the end point.
To test provisioning:
Update the following entry in the runADTest.bat script file. This file is in the OIM_home/xellerate/test/scripts directory.
set XL_HOME = OIM_home
Update the config.properties file in the OIM_home/xellerate/test/config directory. In this file, specify values for the attributes of the AD user that is created in Microsoft Active Directory during the provisioning test.
Run the runADTest.bat script. This file is in the following directory:
OIM_home/xellerate/test/scripts
If the script runs without any error, then verify that the user has been created on the Microsoft Active Directory server.
Suppose you set the Use SSL IT resource parameter to no. When you provision a Microsoft Active Directory user through Oracle Identity Manager, the password cannot be updated by using Oracle Identity Manager. Therefore, if there are any existing password policies in the Microsoft Active Directory server, then you must disable them if the communication is not secured by SSL.
Refer to the "Enabling or Disabling Password Policies on Microsoft Active Directory" section for information about the procedure that you must perform to fix this limitation.
This problem is also mentioned in the Known Issues list in Chapter 5.
