You can use the connector for performing reconciliation and provisioning operations after configuring it to meet your requirements.
The following topics provide details on using the connector:
The WebEx TimeZones Lookup Reconciliation scheduled job is used for lookup field synchronization. Values fetched by this scheduled job from the target system are populated in the Lookup.Webex.TimeZones lookup definition.
Table 3-1 Attributes of the Scheduled Job for Lookup Field Synchronization
Attribute | Description |
---|---|
Code Key Attribute |
Enter the name of the attribute that is used to populate the Code Key column of the lookup definition (specified as the value of the Lookup Name attribute). Default value: |
Decode Attribute |
Enter the name of the attribute that is used to populate the Decode column of the lookup definition (specified as the value of the Lookup Name attribute). Default value: |
IT Resource Name |
Name of the IT resource for the target system installation from which you reconcile user records. Default value: |
Lookup Name |
Name of the lookup definition in Oracle Identity Manager that must be populated with values fetched from the target system. Default value: |
Object Type |
Name of the type of object you want to reconcile. Default value: |
You can configure the connector to specify the type of reconciliation and its schedule.
This section provides details on the following topics related to configuring reconciliation:
Full reconciliation involves reconciling all existing user records from the target system into Oracle Identity Manager.
After you deploy the connector, you must first perform full reconciliation. To perform a full reconciliation run, ensure that no value is specified for the Filter attribute of the scheduled job for reconciling users.
Limited or filtered reconciliation is the process of limiting the number of records being reconciled based on a set filter criteria.
By default, all target system records are reconciled during the current reconciliation run. You can customize this process by specifying the subset of target system records that must be reconciled. You do this by creating filters for the reconciliation module.
equalTo
greaterThan
lessThan
and
or
You can apply the and, equalTo, and or filter parameters to the following attributes:
User Name
FirstName
LastName
Active
__UID__
__NAME__
You can apply the greaterThan and lessThan filter parameters to the following attributes:
RegDateStart
RegDateEnd
You can perform limited reconciliation using the Filter attribute (a scheduled task attribute) that allows you to use any of the WebEx resource attributes to filter the target system records. For detailed information about the various filter syntax that are supported, refer the WebEx documentation.
Scheduled jobs for reconciliation are created when you run the Connector Installer. The Webex User Reconciliation scheduled job is used to reconcile user account data from the target system in the target resource (account management) mode of the connector.
Table 3-2 Attributes of the User Reconciliation Scheduled Job
Attribute | Description |
---|---|
Filter |
Enter the search filter for fetching records from the target system during a reconciliation run. Sample value: |
IT Resource Name |
Name of the IT resource for the target system installation from which you want to reconcile user records. Default value: |
Object Type |
Type of object you want to reconcile. Default value: Note: User is the only object that is supported. Therefore, do not change the value of this attribute. |
Resource Object Name |
Name of the resource object that is used for reconciliation. Default value: Note: Do not change the value of this attribute. |
Scheduled Task Name |
Name of the scheduled task that is used for reconciliation. Default value: |
Configure scheduled jobs to perform reconciliation runs that check for new information on your target system periodically and replicate the data in Oracle Identity Manager.
You must apply the below guideline while performing a provisioning operation:
For a Create User provisioning operation, you must specify a value for the Username field. For example, John Doe. It is a mandatory field, other mandatory fields are First name, Last name, Email, and Password.
You create a new user in Oracle Identity Self Service by using the Create User page. You provision or request for accounts on the Accounts tab of the User Details page.
Uninstalling the connector involves deleting data related to the connector from Oracle Identity Manager Database. You use the Uninstall Connectors utility to uninstall a connector.
If you want to uninstall the connector for any reason, see Uninstalling Connectors in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administering Oracle Identity Manager.
