Integrate with Oracle Internet Directory
The Oracle Internet Directory connector integrates Oracle Access Governance with Oracle Internet Directory. You can establish a connection between Oracle Internet Directory and Oracle Access Governance by entering connection details and configuring the connector. To achieve this, use the Orchestrated Systems functionality available in the Oracle Access Governance Console.
Preinstall
Before you install and configure an Oracle Internet Directory orchestrated system, you should consider the following pre-requisites and tasks.
Certified Components
The system can be any one of the following:
- Oracle Internet Directory 9.x
- Oracle Internet Directory 10.1.4.x
- Oracle Internet Directory 11g 11.1.1.5.0, 11.1.1.6.0, 11.1.1.7.0 and 11.1.1.9.0
- Oracle Internet Directory12c 12.2.1.3.0 and 12.2.1.4.0
Supported Operations
The Oracle Internet Directory orchestrated system supports the following operations:
- Create user
- Reset password
- Add groups
- Revoke groups
Create a System User Account for Oracle Internet Directory Orchestrated System Operations
Oracle Access Governance requires a user account to access the target system during service operations. Depending on the system you are using, you can create the user and assign specific permissions and roles to the user.
For Oracle Internet Directory:
- Create, modify, and delete entries related to the managed objects, including accounts, groups, roles (if supported), and organizational units (ou).
- Update passwords for users.
Create an admin user, admin group, and ACIs on the OID target system. To
perform this task, you must be an administrator on the OID target system who is
familiar with command-line utilities such as ldapsearch
and
ldapmodify
. If you prefer, you can also use Oracle Directory
Services Manager to perform these functions.

- Oracle Internet Directory 12c: Creating Another Account With Superuser Privileges
Install
You can establish a connection between Oracle Internet Directory and Oracle Access Governance by entering connection details and configuring your OID environment. To achieve this, use the Orchestrated Systems functionality available in the Oracle Access Governance Console.
Navigate to the Orchestrated Systems Page
- From the Oracle Access Governance navigation menu icon
, select Service Administration → Orchestrated Systems.
- Click the Add an orchestrated system button to start the workflow.
Select system
On the Select system step of the workflow, specify which type of system you would like to onboard.
- Select Oracle Internet Directory and click Next.
Enter details
- Enter a name for the system you want to connect to in the What do you want to call this system? field.
- Enter a description for the system in the How do you want to describe this system? field.
- Determine if this orchestrated system is an authoritative source, and if Oracle Access Governance can manage permissions by setting the following checkboxes.
- This is the authoritative source for my identities
- I want to manage permissions for this system
- Click Next.
Account settings
-
Select where to send notification emails when an account is created. The default setting is User. You can select one, both, or none of these options. If you select no options then notifications will not be sent when an account is created.
- User
- User manager
- When an identity moves within your enterprise, for example when
moving from one department to another, you may need to adjust what accounts the
identity has access to. In some cases the identity will no longer require
certain accounts which are not relevant to their new role in the enterprise. You
can select what to do with the account when this happens. Select one of the
following options:
- Disable
- Delete
- When an identity leaves your enterprise you should remove access to
their accounts. You can select what to do with the account when this happens.
Select one of the following options:
- Disable
- Delete
Note:
If you do not configure your system as a managed system then this step in the workflow will display but is not enabled. In this case you proceed directly to the Integration settings step of the workflow.Note:
If your orchestrated system requires dynamic schema discovery, as with the Generic REST and Database Application Tables (Oracle) integrations, then only the notification email destination can be set (User, Usermanager) when creating the orchestrated system. You cannot set the disable/delete rules for movers and leavers. To do this you need to create the orchestrated system, and then update the account settings as described in Configure Orchestrated System Account Settings.Integration settings
On the Integration settings step of the workflow, enter the configuration details required to allow Oracle Access Governance to connect to the target Oracle Internet Directory.
- In the Host Name field, enter the hostname or IP address for the directory you want to integrate with Oracle Access Governance.
- In the Port Number field, enter the value of the TCP/IP port number used to communicate with the LDAP server.
- Enter the distinguished name which you will use to authenticate to the directory, in the Administrator Username field. This is the user you created in Create a Target System User Account for Oracle Internet Directory Orchestrated System Operations.
- Enter the password of the target distinguished name in the Administrator Password field. Confirm the password in the Confirm password field.
- Enter a base context from which to begin searches for users and groups into the Base Contexts field.
- In the Failover field, enter a list of failover servers in
the format
<servername>:<port>, <servername>:<port>, ...
, for exampleOUDExample1:636, OUDExample1:636, ...
- In the SSL Enabled field, ensure that the value true is selected.
- Check the right hand pane to view What I've selected. If you are happy with the details entered, select Add to create the orchestrated system.
Finish Up
The final step of the workflow is Finish Up where you are prompted to download the agent for your Orchestrated System. Once you have downloaded the agent, you can install and configure the agent in your environment using the instructions in Install Oracle Access Governance Agent.
- Customize before enabling the system for data loads
- Activate and prepare the data load with the provided defaults
