Sun Identity Manager Deployment Guide

ProcedureTo Enable Self-Discovery

  1. Access the Identity Manager debug page at http://PathToIDM/debug. The System Settings page is displayed.

  2. Select Configuration from the List Objects pull-down menu. The List Objects of type: Configuration page is displayed.

  3. Select the edit link for End User Resources.

  4. After the <List> element, add <String>Resource</String>, where Resource matches the name of a resource object in the repository. For example, to allow users to self-discover their accounts on resources AD and Solaris, edit the <List> element as follows:

    <List>
       <String>AD</String>
       <String>Solaris</String>
    </List>
  5. Save your changes. Identity Manager returns to the System Settings debug page.

    When self-discovery is enabled, the user is presented with a new menu item on the Identity Manager User Interface (Inform Identity Manager of Other Accounts) This area allows him to select a resource from an available list, and then enter the resource account ID and password to link the account with his Identity Manager identity.
