Using the Connector Installer

From Oracle Identity Manager release 9.1.0 onward, the Administrative and User Console provides the Connector Installer feature. This feature can be used to automate the connector installation procedure.

See "Installing the Connector on Oracle Identity Manager Release 9.1.0 or Later" for details.

Software Updates in Release 9.0.4.5

The following are software updates in release 9.0.4.5:

Support for Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) on Solaris

In earlier releases, you had to provide the credentials of the root or sudo user for letting Oracle Identity Manager communicate with the Solaris target system. This release supports the role-based access control (RBAC) feature of Solaris. From this release onward, Oracle Identity Manager can communicate with Solaris by using a user account to which you assign the minimum required privileges.

See "Creating a Target System User Account for Connector Operations" for more information.

The following are some of the changes made in the IT resource:

See the "Deploying the Connector" chapter for information about these parameters.

Resolved Issues in Release 9.0.4.5

The following table lists issues resolved in release 9.0.4.5:

Bug Number Issue Resolution
5503263 The "Create Home Directory" field is a check box on the Administrative and User Console. If you selected this check box, the numeral 1 was displayed on the page that summarizes input you provide during provisioning operations. The check box has been changed to a radio button. If you select the "Create Home Directory" option, then the word "Yes" is displayed on the page that summarizes input. If you do not select the option, then the word "No" is displayed.
7133380 A user for whom an SSH account was created on AIX through a provisioning operation was forced to change the password at first login. Password change at first login is not enforced for newly created SSH accounts on AIX.
7225692 To stop a scheduled task, you use the Stop Execution option in the Design Console. This option did not work in earlier releases. You can now use the Stop Execution option to stop scheduled tasks.

Note: When you stop a batched reconciliation run, reconciliation stops at the end of the batch being reconciled.

7345302 During a provisioning operation, the home directory was not created if you specified an invalid path on the target system host computer. However, the status of the process task was Completed. If an invalid home directory path is specified, then the "Invalid Home directory" error message is displayed on the Administrative and User Console.
7347256 An error was thrown when a user connected to an HP-UX target system was updated through a provisioning operation performed on Oracle Identity Manager. The response from the target system was not correctly parsed and displayed as an error message on the Administrative and User Console. The "User currently in use" message is displayed if you try to update any attribute of a user who is currently logged in to the target system.

Software Updates in Release 9.0.4.6

The following table lists issues resolved in release 9.0.4.6:

Bug Number Issue Resolution
7478452 You use the IT resource to specify the credentials of the SUDO user that you want to use for connector operations. If this SUDO user did not have the required permissions, then the target system did not allow you to perform Disable User provisioning operations. This is expected behavior. However, the status of the user was set to Disabled on Oracle Identity Manager even though the status of the user on the target system remained unchanged. This issue has been resolved. If the SUDO user does not have the permissions required to disable users on the target system, then an appropriate message is displayed on the Administrative and User Console.
7503701 The target system does not allow you to delete a user who is logged in to the system. This is expected behavior. However, even when the target system did not allow the deletion of a user, the status of the user (resource) on Oracle Identity Manager was changed to Deleted (Revoked). This issue has been resolved. If the target system does not allow the deletion of a user, then an appropriate message is displayed as the outcome of the Delete User provisioning operation.

The item describing this issue has been removed from the "Known Issues" chapter.


Software Updates in Release 9.0.4.7

The following are software updates in release 9.0.4.7:

Support for New Target System

From this release onward, the connector adds support for Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.2 as a target system.

This target system is mentioned in "Verifying Deployment Requirements".

Resolved Issues

The following table lists issues resolved in release 9.0.4.7:

Bug Number Issue Resolution
7520249 During reconciliation, you could not transform values of the target system field before they were stored in Oracle Identity Manager. This issue has been resolved. You can now transform the values of the target system fields before they are stored in Oracle Identity Manager.

See the "Transforming Data Reconciled Into Oracle Identity Manager" chapter in the connector guide for more information.

7563415 During reconciliation, the Group Name field was reconciled as a number and not as the exact name because it was stored directly as the group ID in the target system. This issue has been resolved. During reconciliation, the exact name of the Group Name field is reconciled.
8341984 In the Create User process task, the default value of the Map To variable was IT Resource. This value was incorrect. This issue has been resolved. The Map To variable in the Create User process task displays the correct default value. The default value of Map To variable is now Process Data.
8396795 During connector deployment, the lib/xliSSH.jar file on the installation media was not automatically copied into the OIM_HOME/xellerate/ScheduleTask directory. This issue has been resolved. The lib/xliSSH.jar file is now automatically copied to the OIM_HOME/xellerate/ScheduleTask directory.
