Oracle Identity Manager customization is enabled by the Design Console that lets you deal with configuration and design functions, such as designing forms and workflows and creating and managing adapters. Using the Design Console, you can grant user privileges to work on particular areas of the application configuration.
This chapter discusses the following topics:
The left side of the Design Console main screen is the Design Console Explorer. The Explorer consists of a list of icons that represent forms that you have permissions to access. These icons are grouped under folders based on functionality and are displayed to the users according to the access rights that you assign to them. Figure 2-1 shows the Explorer in the Design Console main screen.
Figure 2-1 The Design Console Main Screen
The following topics are discussed in this section:
The User Management folder provides tools to create and manage information about organizations, users, user groups, requests, form templates, locations, process tasks, and reconciliation events. This folder contains the following forms:
Organizational Defaults: Use this form to specify the default values that the organization users should have for certain resources.
Policy History: Use this form to view resources that are allowed and disallowed for users through policies.
Group Entitlements: Use this form to specify which Design Console forms are available for which user groups.
Administrative Queues: Use this form to define queues or list of groups, which can be used to define as administrators for the requests.
Reconciliation Manager: Use this form to manage reconciliation events in Oracle Identity Manager.
The Resource Management folder provides you tools for managing Oracle Identity Manager resources. This folder contains the following forms:
IT Resources Type Definition: Use this form to create resource types that are displayed as lookup values on the IT Resources form.
IT Resources: Use this form to define and manage IT resources.
Rule Designer: Use this form to create rules that can be applied to password policy selection, auto-group membership, provisioning process selection, task assignment, and prepopulating adapters.
Resource Objects: Use this form to create and manage resource objects. These objects represent resources that you want to make available to users and organizations.
The Process Management folder provides you tools for creating and managing Oracle Identity Manager processes and e-mail templates.
This folder contains the following forms:
Email Definition: This form enables you to create templates for e-mail notifications.
Process Definition: This form is used to create and manage approval and provisioning processes. It also lets you start the Workflow Definition Renderer that displays your workflow definition in a graphical presentation.
The Design Console Administration folder provides you tools for managing Oracle Identity Manager administrative features. This folder contains the following forms:
Form Information: Use this form to specify the class name, form label, form type, menu item, and graphic icon to be associated with a given Oracle Identity Manager form. You can also use this form to modify the folders and folder items that are displayed in the Design Console Explorer.
Lookup Definition: Use this form to create and manage lookup definitions. A lookup definition represents a lookup field and the values you can access from that lookup field.
User Defined Field Definition: Use this form to create and manage user-defined fields. A user-defined field enables you to store additional information, such as user, request, and resource information.
System Configuration: Use this form to define and set the value of properties that control the behavior of the Client and/or Server. You can specify the users and user groups that a property value applies to, or you can specify that the value applies to all users.
Remote Manager: Use this form to display information about the servers that Oracle Identity Manager uses to communicate with third-party programs. These servers are known as remote managers.
Password Policies: Use this form to set password restrictions for the users and view the rules and resource objects that are associated with a password policy.
Task Scheduler: Use this form to create tasks and set up the schedules that determine when these tasks are to be run.
The Design Console provides a suite of development tools that enable system administrators or developers to customize Oracle Identity Manager. This folder contains the following forms:
Adapter Factory: You use this form to create and manage the code that enables Oracle Identity Manager to communicate with any IT Resource by connecting to that resource's API. This code is known as an adapter.
Adapter Manager: You use this form to compile multiple adapters simultaneously.
Form Designer: You use this form to create process and resource object forms that do not come packaged with Oracle Identity Manager.
Error Message Definition: You use this form to create error messages that can be used for reporting when certain problems occur while using Oracle Identity Manager. This form also enables a system administrator or developer to define the error messages that users can access when they create error handler tasks by using the Adapter Factory form.
Reconciliation Rules: You use this form to create and manage reconciliation rules in Oracle Identity Manager.
The Development Tools/Business Rule Definition folder provides system administrators and developers with tools to manage the event handlers and data objects of Oracle Identity Manager. This folder contains the following forms:
Event Handler Manager: You use this form to create and manage the event handlers that are used with Oracle Identity Manager.
Data Object Manager: Through this form, you can define a data object, assign event handlers and adapters to it, and map any adapter variables associated with it.
The Design Console lets you perform Oracle Identity Manager customization tasks such as adding and modifying rule elements for a rule, creating or editing e-mail definitions, creating forms, and setting system properties. For these customization tasks, you must set parameters, variables, and data types. This section describes these parameters, variables, and data types.
In the Rule Elements tab of the Rule Designer form, you can create and manage elements and nested rules for a rule. Table 2-1 lists the rule elements that can be used to create Oracle Identity Manager rules, by using the Rule Designer form.

Table 2-3 describes the properties that can be associated with different data types used to create Oracle Identity Manager forms, by using the Form Designer form.
Table 2-3 Properties Associated with Data Types
Data Type | Data Property | Description |
---|---|---|
Text Field |
Required |
If this text field must be populated for the form to be saved, then enter "true" into the corresponding Property Value field. Otherwise, type "false" into this field. Note: The default value for this data property is false. |
Is Visible |
If you want this text field to be displayed when Oracle Identity Manager generates the form, then enter "true" into the corresponding Property Value field. Otherwise, type "false" into this field. Note: The default value for this data property is true. |
|
Lookup Field |
Auto Complete |
By entering "true" in the corresponding Property Value field, Oracle Identity Manager filters the lookup field. A user can then add characters to the lookup field before double-clicking it. By doing so, only those Lookup values which match these characters are displayed in the Lookup window. As an example, for a State lookup field, a user can enter "new" into the field. Then, once the user double-clicks the lookup field, only those states that begins with the letters "new" (for example, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, and New York) are displayed in the Lookup window. If you do not want Oracle Identity Manager to filter the lookup field, then enter "false" into the associated Property Value field. The default property value for the Auto Complete property is false. |
Column Captions |
In the corresponding Property Value field, enter the name of the column heading that is displayed in the Lookup window when a user double-clicks the lookup field. If the Lookup window has multiple columns, then enter each column heading into the Property Value field, separating them with commas, for example, Organization Name, Organization Status. |
|
Lookup Field |
Column Names |
In the corresponding Property Value field, enter the name of the database column that represents the column caption that you want to be displayed in the Lookup window. If the Lookup window has multiple columns, then enter each database column into the Property Value field, separating them with commas. |
Column Widths |
In the corresponding Property Value field, enter the width of the column that is displayed in the Lookup window. If the Lookup window has multiple columns, then enter each column width into the Property Value field, separating them with commas, for example, 20,20. |
|
Lookup Column Name |
In the corresponding Property Value field, enter the name of the Lookup column as it is displayed in the database, which must be saved to the database. |
|
In the corresponding Property Value field, enter the name of the SQL query that runs when a user double-clicks the lookup field. As a result, the appropriate Lookup columns are displayed in the Lookup window. To correctly display the data returned from a query, you must add a lookupfield.header.users.status=User Status If the xlWebAdmin_locale.properties file does not contain a The syntax for a lookupfield.header.column_code=display value
The column_code portion of the entry must be lowercase and any space must be replaced by the underscore character (_). By default, the following entries for lookup field column headers are already available in the system resource bundle: lookupfield.header.lookup_definition.lookup_ code_information .code_key=Value lookupfield.header.lookup_definition.lookup_code_information .decode=Description lookupfield.header.users.manager_login=User ID lookupfield.header.organizations.organization_ name=Name lookupfield.header.it_resources.key=Key lookupfield.header.it_resources.name=Instance Name lookupfield.header.users.user_id=User ID lookupfield.header.users.last_name=Last Name lookupfield.header.users.first_name=First Name lookupfield.header.groups.group_name=Group Name lookupfield.header.objects.name=Resource Name lookupfield.header.access_policies.name=Access Policy Name |
||

Lookup Code |
In the corresponding Property Value field, enter the lookup definition code. This code contains all information pertaining to the lookup field, including lookup values and the text that are displayed with the lookup field once a lookup value is selected. Important: The Lookup Code data property can be used in lieu of the Column Captions, Column Names, Column Widths, Lookup Column Name, and Lookup Query properties. In addition, the information contained in the Lookup Code property supersedes any values set in these five data properties. Tip: An easy way to enter a lookup code is by starting the Lookup Definition form, querying for the desired code, copying this code to the Clipboard, and pasting it into the Lookup Code field. Note: The classification type of the lookup definition code must be of Lookup Type (the Lookup Type radio button on the Lookup Definition form must be selected). |

Service accounts are general administrator accounts that are used for maintenance purpose. They are typically shared by a set of users. Service accounts are requested, provisioned, and managed in the same manner as regular accounts. A service account is distinguished from a regular account by an internal flag.
When a user is provisioned with a service account, Oracle Identity Manager manages a mapping from the user's identity to the service account. This user is considered the owner of the Service Account. When the user is deleted or the resource is revoked, the provisioning process for the service account does not get canceled, which would cause the undo tasks to fire. Instead, a task is inserted into the provisioning process in the same way Oracle Identity Manager handles Disable and Enable actions. This task removes the mapping from the user to the service account, and returns the service account to the pool of available accounts. This management capability is exposed through APIs.
Table 2-5 describes the service account management tasks and their corresponding APIs.
Table 2-5 Service Account Management Tasks and Corresponding APIs
Tasks | Description | API Methods |
---|---|---|
Service Account Change |
You can change an existing regular account to be a service account or change an existing service account to be a regular account. If any of these changes occur, then the Service Account Change task is inserted in the provisioning process, becoming active in the Tasks tab of the Process Definition. Any adapter that is associated with this provisioning process runs. If there is no adapter, then a predefined response code is attached. |
|
Service Account Alert |
When a user is deleted or disabled to whom a service account is linked, the Service Account Alert task is inserted into the provisioning process of that service account instance. You can use this task to start the appropriate actions in response to the event that occurred for the user. |
NA |
Service Account Moved |
You can transfer ownership of a service account from one user to another. This translates into the provisioning instance showing up in the resource profile of the new owner, and no longer in the resource profile of the old user. The Service Account Moved task is inserted into the provisioning process of the resource instance after the account is moved. Any adapter associated with this provisioning process runs. If there is no adapter, then a predefined response code is attached. |

Table 2-6 lists the Oracle Identity Manager actions, and the conditions and results of these actions.
Table 2-6 Oracle Identity Manager Actions
Action | Condition | Result |
---|---|---|
A user is deleted. |
Oracle Identity Manager cancels all the existing tasks in process instance and inserts undo tasks for these tasks, if they are defined. |
If so, then the condition for this task has been met (the user has been revoked), and Oracle Identity Manager inserts the task into the existing process. If the task has an adapter attached to it, then it will run. |
A user is disabled. |
Oracle Identity Manager checks each process for any tasks that display the Disable selection in the Task Effect combo box. |
If so, then the condition for this task has been met (the user has been disabled), and Oracle Identity Manager inserts the task into the existing process. If the task has an adapter attached to it, then it will run. |
A user is enabled. |
Oracle Identity Manager checks each process for any tasks that display the Enable selection in the Task Effect combo box. |
If so, then the condition for this task has been met (the user has been enabled), and Oracle Identity Manager inserts the task into the existing process. If the task has an adapter attached to it, then it will run. |
A user's password has been modified on the Users form |
Oracle Identity Manager checks each process to see if it has a Change User Password task. |
If so, then the condition for this task has been met (the user's password has been modified), and Oracle Identity Manager inserts the task into all existing processes, which have that task defined. If the task has an adapter attached to it, then it will run. |
The data fields of an application process form have been modified. |
Oracle Identity Manager checks each process to see if it has a task that starts with the |
The condition for this task is met (the process task begins with the |
A user's profile information has been moved to a different organization. |
Oracle Identity Manager checks each process to see if it has a task that begins with the words Move User. |
The condition for this task is met (the user's profile information has been moved to a different organization). Oracle Identity Manager inserts the task into the existing process. If the task has an adapter attached to it, then it will run. |
An adapter is a Java class, generated by the Adapter Factory, which enables Oracle Identity Manager to interact with an external JAR file, a target IT resource (for example, a resource asset), or a user-defined form. The Adapter Factory is a code-generation tool provided by Oracle Identity Manager, which enables a User Administrator to create Java classes.
An adapter extends the internal logic and functionality of Oracle Identity Manager. It automates process tasks, and defines the rules for the auto-generation and validation of data in fields within Oracle Identity Manager. There are five types of adapters: task assignment adapters, task adapters, rule generator adapters, pre-populate adapters, and entity adapters.
The following topics are discussed in this section:
An adapter task is one of the several possible components within an adapter. And this is a logical step within an adapter, equivalent to calling a programming language method. The following types of adapter tasks are available: Functional Tasks (Java Task, Remote Task, and Stored Procedure Task), Utility Tasks (Utility Task and Oracle Identity Manager API Task), and Logic Tasks (Set Variable Task and Error Handler Task).
This section lists the mappings that you can set for the parameters of an adapter task, in the following topics:

For a newly created adapter to work, you can map data to the parameters of the adapter's tasks. For this reason, you create placeholders, also known as adapter variables, to map the data at run time. Once an adapter variable is not needed for the adapter to run, you can remove it from the adapter. After you have deleted the adapter variable, recompile the adapter.
When an adapter variable is not the adapter return variable, or it is not designated as Resolve at Run time, it should be mapped within the Variable List tab of the Adapter Factory form. On the other hand, if the adapter variable is classified as an adapter return variable, or the adapter variable is set to Resolve at Run time, it can be mapped at another location within Oracle Identity Manager. This location is contingent upon the adapter's type. For example, the variables of a process task adapter will be mapped at a different place than the variables of a pre-populate adapter. The following table lists the variables of a particular type of adapter that can be mapped.
Adapter Type | Location |
---|---|
Process Task | The Integration tab of the Editing Task window |
Task Assignment | The Assignment tab of the Editing Task window |
Rule Generator | The Map Adapters tab of the Data Object Manager form |
Pre-Populate | The Pre-Populate tab of the Form Designer form |
Entity | The Map Adapters tab of the Data Object Manager form |
