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

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.

Table 3-4 lists the group forms attribute mappings between the process form fields in Oracle Identity Governance and MS Teams target application attributes. The table lists whether a given attribute is mandatory during provisioning. It also lists whether a given attribute is used during 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 ApplicationCreating 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

In this identity rule:
  • __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.

Simple Correlation Rule for MS Teams 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.

Table 3-7 Parameters of the MS Teams Full User Reconciliation Job
