This chapter is divided into the following sections:
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.x, 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.x.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.
After first-time reconciliation, depending on the mode in which you configure the connector, one of the following parameters of the eDirectory IT Resource IT resource is automatically set to the time stamp at which the reconciliation run began:
For trusted source reconciliation, the Last Recon Trusted TimeStamp parameter is set.
For target resource reconciliation, the Last Recon Target TimeStamp parameter is set.
See Also:
Section 2.2, "Installation" for information about the parameters of the IT resourceFrom the next reconciliation run onward, only target system user records that are added or modified after the time stamp stored in the IT resource are considered for incremental reconciliation. These records are brought to Oracle Identity Manager when you configure and run the user reconciliation scheduled task.
The following scheduled tasks are used for lookup fields reconciliation:
eDirectory Organization Lookup Reconciliation Task
eDirectory Role Lookup Reconciliation Task
eDirectory Group Lookup Reconciliation Task
eDirectory Profile Lookup Reconciliation Task
eDirectory DomainScope Lookup Reconciliation Task
You must specify values for the attributes of these scheduled tasks. Table 3-1 describes the attributes of these scheduled tasks. Section 3.4, "Configuring Scheduled Tasks" describes the procedure to configure scheduled tasks.
Note:
This table describes the attributes of all the scheduled tasks for lookup field synchronization. Some of these attributes are not common to all the scheduled tasks.Table 3-1 Attributes of the Scheduled Tasks for Lookup Field Synchronization
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
|
ConfigurationLookup |
This attribute holds the name of the configuration lookup definition, which contains values that are used during connector operations. Default value: |
|
AttrTask |
The attribute holds the naming attribute of the object on the target system.
|
|
LookupCodeName |
This attribute holds the name of the lookup definition with which the values are to be synchronized.
|
|
ITResourceName |
This attribute holds the name of the IT resource for setting up a connection with Novell eDirectory. |
|
SearchContext |
Enter the search context (DN of the user container) to be used for fetching lookup field values from the target system. Default value: |
|
ObjectClass |
This attribute holds the name of the object class.
|
|
CodeKeyLTrimStr |
The default value of this attribute is |
|
CodeKeyRTrimStr |
Enter the string value that must be right-trimmed from each value returned by the scheduled task. Sample value: If there is nothing to be trimmed, then enter |
|
ReconMode |
Enter Enter |
|
SearchFilter |
Enter the query or filter that must be applied during a reconciliation run. See Section 3.3.2, "Limited Reconciliation" for more information. You can enter one of the following values: For organizational units and domain scope: For groups: For roles: For profiles: For organizations: |
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:
The Last Recon Trusted TimeStamp and Last Recon Target TimeStamp parameters of the IT resource store the time stamp at which a reconciliation run begins. During the next reconciliation run, the scheduled task fetches only target system records that are added or modified after the time stamp stored in the parameter for reconciliation. This is incremental reconciliation.
In full reconciliation, all existing target system records are fetched into Oracle Identity Manager for reconciliation. If you want to run full reconciliation, then ensure that no value is entered for the time-stamp parameter. In other words, the time-stamp parameter must be empty.
You can switch from incremental to full reconciliation at any time by not setting any value for the time-stamp parameter. If you want to continue with incremental reconciliation, then accept the default value of the time-stamp parameter.
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 a reconciliation filter.
For this connector, you create a filter by specifying a query condition as the value of the SearchFilter attribute of the scheduled tasks. The query condition must be in the LDAP format, as shown in the following sample value:
(objectclass=inetOrgPerson)
With this query condition, only records for users whose objectclass is inetOrgPerson are considered for reconciliation.
You can add multiple query conditions by using the ampersand (&) as the AND operator and the vertical bar (|) as the OR operator. For example, the following query condition is used to limit reconciliation to records of those users whose first name is John and objectclass is inetOrgPerson:
Note:
As shown in this sample value, you must enclose the query condition in parentheses.(&(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)(givenname=John))
The following are sample query conditions that can be specified as the value of the SearchFilter attribute:
(&(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)(givenname=John)) (&(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)(sn=Doe)) (&(&(sn=Doe)(givenname=John))(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)) (|(|(sn=lastname)(givenname=firstname))(objectClass=inetOrgPerson))
The SearchFilter attribute is also present in the scheduled tasks for lookup field synchronization. You can select one of the following values in one of those scheduled tasks:
For organizational units and domain scope: (objectClass=OrganizationalUnit)
For groups: (objectClass=Group)
For roles: (objectClass=RBS:Role)
For profiles: (objectClass=Profile)
For organizations: (objectClass=organization)
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 such problems.
To configure batched reconciliation, you must specify values for the following user reconciliation scheduled task attributes:
StartRecord: Use this attribute to specify the record number from which batched reconciliation must begin.
BatchSize: Use this attribute to specify the number of records that must be included in each batch.
NumberOfBatches: Use this attribute to specify the total number of batches that must be reconciled. If you do not want to use batched reconciliation, specify All Available as the value of this attribute.
Note:
If you specifyAll Available as the value of this attribute, then the values of the StartRecord and BatchSize attributes are ignored.You specify values for these attributes by following the instructions described in Section 3.3.4, "Reconciliation Scheduled Tasks."
After you configure batched reconciliation, if reconciliation fails during a batched reconciliation run, then refer to the log file for information about the batch at which reconciliation has failed. The log file provides the following information about batched reconciliation:
Serial numbers of the batches that have been successfully reconciled
User IDs associated with the records with each batch that has been successfully reconciled
If the batched reconciliation run fails, then the serial number of the batch that has failed
This section discusses the following topics:
The following scheduled tasks are used for user reconciliation:
eDirectory User Trusted Recon Task

Provisioning involves creating or modifying a user's account information on the target system through Oracle Identity Manager.
This section discusses the following topics related to configuring provisioning:
Provisioning a resource for an OIM User involves using Oracle Identity Manager to create a target system account for the user.
When you install the connector on Oracle Identity Manager release 11.1.1, the direct provisioning feature is automatically enabled. This means that the process form is enabled when you install the connector.
If you have configured the connector for request-based provisioning, then the process form is suppressed and the object form is displayed. In other words, direct provisioning is disabled when you configure the connector for request-based provisioning. If you want to revert to direct provisioning, then perform the steps described in Section 3.6.3, "Switching Between Request-Based Provisioning and Direct Provisioning on Oracle Identity Manager Release 11.1.1."
The following are types of provisioning operations:
