This chapter contains the following sections:
The GoToMeeting connector enables Oracle Identity Manager to manage the identity data for GoToMeeting by integrating Oracle Identity Manager with the GoToMeeting Admin Center (Admin Center) either by using Oracle Identity Manager Connector for Microsoft Active Directory User Management (OIM AD connector) or by using the predefined GoToMeeting connector.
Both the implementations can be configured to run in the account management (or target resource management) mode.
OIM AD Connector Integration
This implementation of the connector integrates Oracle Identity Manager with the Admin Center by using Microsoft Active Directory (AD) as a middleware. In this implementation, AD is used as a user source for performing user management operations in the Admin Center.
The OIM AD connector allows synchronization of the GoToMeeting user information between Oracle Identity Manager and AD. The GoToMeeting Active Directory Connector (GoToMeeting AD connector) helps in fetching the attributes from AD and then synchronizing the data with the Admin Center.
This is an optional integration, and you can choose this integration for managing users if you have already configured Microsoft Active Directory with the Admin Center.
Predefined Integration
You can implement the GoToMeeting connector using the predefined integration. This implementation of the connector integrates Oracle Identity Manager with the Admin Center by using GoToMeeting Administration APIs. The Admin Center is used as a managed (target) resource of the identity data for Oracle Identity Manager.
The information about users that are created or modified directly on the Admin Center can be reconciled into Oracle Identity Manager. This data is used to add or modify resources (that is, accounts) that are allocated to Oracle Identity Manager Users. In addition, you can use Oracle Identity Manager to provision or update GoToMeeting accounts that are assigned to Oracle Identity Manager Users.
Note:
Oracle Identity Manager Connector for Microsoft Active Directory User Management is referred to as the OIM AD connector.
GoToMeeting Active Directory Connector is referred to as the GoToMeeting AD connector.
GoToMeeting Admin Center is referred to as the target system.
GoToMeeting is a cloud-based application that offers online meeting, screen sharing, and video conferencing features. The GoToMeeting connector helps in managing GoToMeeting users and their accounts through Oracle Identity Manager.
The following is a common scenario in which the GoToMeeting connector can be used:
Organizations use GoToMeeting for a real-time collaboration of users across various locations. The administrator needs to assign an account with a valid GoToMeeting license to each GoToMeeting user, and also ensure that the user is unable to access the application using the account after leaving the organization.
The GoToMeeting connector provides a user management functionality that enables automation of provisioning and deprovisioning of GoToMeeting user accounts. The connector enables organizations to manage identities and licenses for GoToMeeting users through Oracle Identity Manager. For example, after a user joins an organization, an account is automatically provisioned to the user based on the predefined access policies in Oracle Identity Manager. In addition, the user is assigned a GoToMeeting license. Similarly, this account is deactivated after the user leaves the organization. This saves time and provides robust security because of less manual intervention.
This is the organization of information available in this guide for understanding, deploying, and using the GoToMeeting connector.
The rest of this guide is divided into the following chapters:
Integrating GoToMeeting with OIM AD Connector provides information on understanding the OIM AD connector integration with GoToMeeting. It also provides guidelines on deploying and using the required connectors (OIM AD connector and GoToMeeting AD connector) for implementing this integration approach.
Implementing the GoToMeeting Connector provides information on understanding, deploying, and using the predefined GoToMeeting connector.
Files and Directories on the GoToMeeting Connector Installation Media lists the files and directories that comprise the connector installation media.
