User Synchronization

The customer must configure synchronization of users between the Identity Provider(s) and Oracle Taleo Enterprise Edition.

The IdP will identify the user (subject) in the assertion. This user identifier must also be stored in the system. Upon receiving the assertion, Oracle extracts the user identifier from the assertion and then searches for the user in the system. Upon finding a match, the appropriate privileges are granted to this user.

Taleo Connect Client (TCC) can be used to import the user identifier into Oracle Taleo Enterprise Edition. A TCC import file can be created and scheduled for automatic import into Oracle Taleo Enterprise Edition. Both user and candidate information must be updated. The following fields must be updated with the SSO user identifier:

  • Employee/Username (for SmartOrg Service Provider)

  • Candidate/Credentials/SSOID (for career section Service Provider)

For information about TCC, please refer to the Taleo Connect Client documentation.

Users can also be created manually:

  • SmartOrg users: Create the users manually through the SmartOrg interface.

  • Internal career sections: Use the career section SSO Configuration Wizard. See Career Section SSO Configuration Wizard.
