Provisioning for Oracle BI Using Directory Integration Platform (DIP)

Provisioning enables an application to be notified of directory changes. Changes to user or group information, for example, can affect whether the application allows a user access to its processes and determines which resources can be used.

Oracle Directory Integration Platform (DIP) is a component of the Identity Management infrastructure and provides for provisioning tasks.

This topic area describes how to set up provisioning using DIP for Oracle Business Intelligence. Refer to chapter Deploying Provisioning-Integrated Applications in the Oracle Identity Management Integration Guide 10g (10.1.4.0.1) for detailed information.

The following tasks are required to configure DIP to provision for Oracle BI:

• Creating an Identity for Oracle BI Application in OID
• Adding Oracle BI Application to Privileged Groups
• Implementing the Directory Integration Platform (DIP) Standard Package
• Defining Provisioning Policies for Oracle BI
