You can extend the functionality of the connector to address your specific business requirements.
This chapter discusses the following topics:
Note:
From Oracle Identity Manager Release 11.1.2 onward, lookup queries are not supported. See Managing Lookups in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administering Oracle Identity Manager for information about managing lookups by using the Form Designer in the Oracle Identity System Administration.The connector provides a default set of attribute mappings for reconciliation between Oracle Identity Manager and the target system. If required, you can add new user or group attributes for reconciliation.
You add a new attribute on the process form in the Form Designer section of Oracle Identity Manager Design Console.
You can add the new attribute to the resource object's list of reconciliation fields in the Resource Objects section of Oracle Identity Manager Design Console.
You create a reconciliation field mapping for the new attribute in the Process Definition section of Oracle Identity Manager Design Console.
You create an entry for the newly added attribute in the lookup definition that holds attribute mappings for reconciliation.
You must replicate all changes made to the Form Designer of the Design Console in a new UI form.
The connector provides a default set of attribute mappings for provisioning between Oracle Identity Manager and the target system. If required, you can add new user or group attributes for provisioning.
The following topics discuss the procedure to add new user or group attributes for provisioning:
You add a new attribute on the process form in the Form Designer section of Oracle Identity Manager Design Console.
Note:
If you have already added an attribute for reconciliation, then you need not repeat steps performed as part of that procedure.You create an entry for the newly added attribute in the lookup definition that holds attribute mappings for provisioning.
Create a task to enable updates on the new user or group attribute during provisioning operations.
You must replicate all changes made to the Form Designer of the Design Console in a new UI form.
You can configure validation of reconciled and provisioned single-valued data according to your requirements.
Validation failed for attribute ATTRIBUTE_NAME.
Note:
This feature cannot be applied to the Locked/Unlocked status attribute of the target system.You can configure transformation of reconciled single-valued account data according to your requirements.
Note:
This feature cannot be applied to the Locked/Unlocked status attribute of the target system.You might want to configure the connector for multiple installations of the target system.
The following example illustrates this requirement:
The London and New York offices of Example Multinational Inc. have their own installations of the target system. The company has recently installed Oracle Identity Manager, and they want to configure Oracle Identity Manager to link all the installations of the target system.
To meet the requirement posed by such a scenario, you must create copies of the connector. See Cloning Connectors in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administering Oracle Identity Manager.
By using the Identity System Administration, you can define a customized or reconfigured connector. Defining a connector is equivalent to registering the connector with Oracle Identity Manager.
You import the connector by using the Deployment Manager.
You customize or reconfigure the connector.
You upgrade Oracle Identity Manager.
A record representing the connector is created in the Oracle Identity Manager database. If this record already exists, then it is updated:
The status of the newly defined connector is set to Active. In addition, the status of a previously installed release of the same connector automatically is set to Inactive.
