3 Configuring the Connector
While creating a target or an authoritative application, you must configure connection-related parameters that the connector uses to connect to Oracle Identity Governance with your target system and perform connector operations. In addition, you can view and edit attribute mappings between the process form fields in Oracle Identity Governance and target system columns, predefined correlation rules, situations and responses, and reconciliation jobs.
3.1 Basic Configuration Parameters
These are the connection-related parameters that Oracle Identity Governance requires to connect to a Microsoft Teams application. These parameters are common for both target applications and authoritative applications.
Note:
Unless specified, do not modify entries in the below table.Table 3-1 Parameters in the Basic Configuration
Parameter | Mandatory ? | Description |
---|---|---|
authenticationType |
Yes |
Enter the type of authentication used by your target system. For this connector, the target system OAuth2.0 client credentials. This is a mandatory attribute while creating an application. Do not modify the value of the parameter. Default value: |
authenticationServerUrl |
Yes |
Enter the URL of the authentication server that validates the client ID and client secret for your target system. Sample value:
|
clientId |
Yes |
Enter the client identifier (a unique string) issued by the authorization server to your client application during the registration process. You obtained the client ID while performing the procedure described in Configuring the Newly Added Application. |
clientSecret |
Yes |
Enter the secret key used to authenticate the identity of your client application. You obtained the secret key while performing the procedure described in Configuring the Newly Added Application. |
Scope |
Yes |
Enter the scope of your client application. Default value: |
host |
Yes |
Enter the host name of the machine hosting your target system. This is a mandatory attribute while creating an application. Sample value: |
uriPlaceHolder |
Yes |
Enter the key-value pair for replacing place holders in the relURIs. The URI place holder consists of values which are repeated in every relative URL. Values must be comma separated. For example, tenant ID and API version values are a part of every request URL. Therefore, we replace it with a key-value pair. Sample value: |
port |
No |
Enter the port number at which the target system is listening. Sample value: |
proxyHost |
No |
Enter the name of the proxy host used to connect to an external target. |

proxyPort |
No |
Enter the proxy port number. |
proxyUser |
No |
Enter the proxy user name of the target system user account that Oracle Identity Governance uses to connect to the target system. Sample value: |
sslEnabled |
No |
If the target system requires SSL connectivity, then set the value of this parameter to Default value: |
3.2 Advanced Settings Parameters

3.3 Attribute Mappings
The attribute mappings on the Schema page vary depending on whether you are creating a target application.
3.3.1 Attribute Mappings for the Target Application
The Schema page for a target application displays the default schema (provided by the connector) that maps Oracle Identity Governance attributes to target system attributes. The connector uses these mappings during reconciliation and provisioning operations.
Default Attributes for MS Teams Target Application
Table 3-3 lists the user-specific attribute mappings between the process form fields in Oracle Identity Governance and MS Teams target application attributes. The table also lists whether a specific attribute is used during provisioning or reconciliation and whether it is a matching key field for fetching records during reconciliation.
If required, you can edit the default attribute mappings by adding new attributes or deleting existing attributes as described in Creating a Target Application in Oracle Fusion Middleware Performing Self Service Tasks with Oracle Identity Governance.

3.4 Correlation Rules
Learn about the predefined rules, responses and situations for Target and Authoritative applications. The connector uses these rules and responses for performing reconciliation.
3.4.1 Correlation Rules for the Target Application
When you create a target application, the connector uses correlation rules to determine the identity to which Oracle Identity Governance must assign a resource.
Predefined Identity Correlation Rules
By default, the MS Teams connector provides a simple correlation rule when you create a target application. The connector uses this correlation rule to compare the entries in Oracle Identity Governance repository and the target system repository, determine the difference between the two repositories, and apply the latest changes to Oracle Identity Governance.
Table 3-6lists the default simple correlation rule for a MS Teams AD connector. If required, you can edit the default correlation rule or add new rules. You can create complex correlation rules also. For more information about adding or editing simple or complex correlation rules, see Updating Identity Correlation Rule in Oracle Fusion Middleware Performing Self Service Tasks with Oracle Identity Governance.
Table 3-5 Predefined Identity Correlation Rule for a MS Teams Connector
Target Attribute | Element Operator | Identity Attribute | Case Sensitive? |
---|---|---|---|
__NAME__ |
Equals |
User Login |
No |
-
__NAME__ is a single-valued attribute on the target system that identifies the user account.
-
User Login is the field on the OIG User form.
Simple Correlation Rule for MS Teams Target Application shows the simple correlation rule for a MS Teams AD target application.
Predefined Situations and Responses
The MS Teams connector provides a default set of situations and responses when you create a target application. These situations and responses specify the action that Oracle Identity Governance must take based on the result of a reconciliation event.
Table 3-6 lists the default situations and responses for a MS Teams Target application. If required, you can edit these default situations and responses or add new ones. For more information about adding or editing situations and responses, seeUpdating Situations and Responses in Oracle Fusion Middleware Performing Self Service Tasks with Oracle Identity Governance

3.5 Reconciliation Jobs
These are the reconciliation jobs that are automatically created in Oracle Identity Governance after you create the application.
User Reconciliation Jobs
You can either use these predefined jobs or edit them to meet your requirements. Alternatively, you can create custom reconciliation jobs. For information about editing these predefined jobs or creating new ones, see Updating Reconciliation Jobs in Oracle Fusion Middleware Performing Self Service Tasks with Oracle Identity Governance.
The following reconciliation jobs are available for reconciling user data:
- MS Teams Full User Reconciliation: Use this reconciliation job to reconcile user data from a target application.
- MS Teams Limited User Reconciliation: Use this reconciliation job to reconcile user data from an authoritative application.
Table 3-7 describes the parameters of the MS Teams Full User Reconciliation job.
