You can extend the functionality of the connector to address your specific business requirements.
This chapter contains the following topics:
Note:
From Oracle Identity Manager Release 11.1.2 onwards, lookup queries are not supported. For information on managing lookups by using the Form Designer in Identity System Administration, see Managing Lookups in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administering Oracle Identity Manager.
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 attributes for reconciliation.
The default attribute mappings for reconciliation are listed in Table 1-12.
The following topics provide details on adding new user attributes for reconciliation:
You can add a new attribute on the process form in the Form Designer section of Oracle Identity Manager Design Console.
To add a new attribute on the process form:
You can add the new attribute to the resource object in the Resource Objects section of Oracle Identity Manager Design Console.
You can create reconciliation field mapping for the new attribute in the Process Definition section of Oracle Identity Manager Design Console.
You can create an entry for the newly added attribute in the lookup definition that holds attribute mappings for reconciliation.
To create an entry for the newly added attribute in the lookup definition 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 attributes for provisioning.
The default attribute mappings for provisioning are listed in Table 1-15.
The following topics provide details on adding new user 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 can create an entry for the newly added attribute in the lookup definition that holds attribute mappings for provisioning.
To create an entry for the newly added attribute in the lookup definition for provisioning:
You create a task to enable updates on the new user or group attribute during provisioning operations. If you do not perform this procedure, you cannot modify the value of the attribute after you set a value for it during the Create User provisioning operation.
To enable the update of the attribute during provisioning operations, add a process task for updating the new user attribute as follows:
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.
To configure validation of data:
You can configure transformation of reconciled single-valued account data according to your requirements. For example, you can use User Name and Last Name values to create a value for the Full Name field in Oracle Identity Manager.
To configure transformation of single-valued account data fetched during reconciliation:
You must create copies of the connector to configure it 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 Governance, and they want to configure Oracle Identity Governance 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.
Defining a connector is equivalent to registering the connector with Oracle Identity Governance. You can define a customized or reconfigured connector using Oracle Identity System Administration. After you define a connector, a record representing the connector is created in the Oracle Identity Governance database.
