Sun Identity Manager Service Provider 8.1 Deployment

Link Confirmation Rule

A link confirmation rule eliminates any resource accounts from the list of potential accounts that the link correlation rule selects. Given the view of the user and the list of candidate resource accounts, a link confirmation rule selects at most one resource account from the candidate list. The view of the user is visible under the ’view’ path, while the list of candidates is available under the ’candidates’ path.

If the link correlation rule selects no more than one resource account, the link confirmation rule is optional.


Note –

Unlike Identity Manager confirmation rules , a link confirmation rule is invoked only once during the linking process.


A link confirmation rule must have the authType attribute set to SPERule with the subtype set to SUBTYPE_SPE_LINK_CONFIRMATION_RULE.
