4 Performing the Postconfiguration Tasks for the Box Connector

These are the tasks that you must perform after creating an application in Oracle Identity Governance.

• Configuring Oracle Identity Governance

• Harvesting Entitlements and Sync Catalog

• Managing Logging

• Configuring the IT Resource for the Connector Server

• Localizing Field Labels in UI Forms

• Configuring SSL

4.1 Configuring Oracle Identity Governance

During application creation, if you did not choose to create a default form, then you must create a UI form for the application that you created by using the connector.

Note:

Perform the procedures described in this section only if you did not choose to create the default form during creating the application.

The following topics describe the procedures to configure Oracle Identity Governance:

• Creating and Activating a Sandbox

• Creating a New UI Form

• Publishing a Sandbox

• Updating an Existing Application Instance with a New Form

4.1.1 Creating and Activating a Sandbox

You must create and activate a sandbox to begin using the customization and form management features. You can then publish the sandbox to make the customizations available to other users.

See Creating a Sandbox and Activating and Deactivating a Sandbox in Oracle Fusion Middleware Developing and Customizing Applications for Oracle Identity Manager.

4.1.2 Creating a New UI Form

You can use Form Designer in Oracle Identity System Administration to create and manage application instance forms. See Creating Forms By Using the Form Designer in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administering Oracle Identity Manager.

While creating the UI form, ensure that you select the resource object corresponding to the Box connector that you want to associate the form with. In addition, select the Generate Entitlement Forms check box.

4.1.3 Publishing a Sandbox

Before you publish a sandbox, perform the following procedure as a best practice to validate all sandbox changes made till this stage as it is hard to revert changes once a sandbox is published:

1. In the System Administration console, deactivate the sandbox.
2. Log out of the System Administration console.
3. Log in to the Self Service console using the xelsysadm user credentials and then activate the sandbox that you deactivated in Step 1.
4. In the Catalog, ensure that the Box application instance form appears with correct fields.
5. Publish the sandbox. See  Publishing a Sandbox in Oracle Fusion Middleware Developing and Customizing Applications for Oracle Identity Manager.

4.1.4 Updating an Existing Application Instance with a New Form

For any changes you do in the Form Designer, you must create a new UI form and update the changes in an application instance. To update an existing application instance with a new form:

1. Create a sandbox and activate it. See Creating a Sandbox and Activating and Deactivating a Sandbox  in Oracle Fusion Middleware Developing and Customizing Applications for Oracle Identity Manager.
2. Create a new UI form for the resource. See Creating Forms By Using the Form Designer in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administering Oracle Identity Manager.
3. Open the existing application instance.
4. In the Form field, select the new UI form that you created.
5. Save the application instance.
6. Publish the sandbox. See Publishing a Sandbox in Oracle Fusion Middleware Developing and Customizing Applications for Oracle Identity Manager.

4.2 Harvesting Entitlements and Sync Catalog

To harvest entitlements and sync catalog:

1. Run the scheduled jobs for lookup field synchronization listed in Reconciliation Jobs for Lookup Field Synchronization.
2. Run the Entitlement List scheduled job to populate Entitlement Assignment schema from child process form table.
3. Run the Catalog Synchronization Job scheduled job.  

See Also:

Predefined Scheduled Tasks in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administering Oracle Identity Manager for a description of the Entitlement List and Catalog Synchronization Job scheduled jobs

4.3 Managing Logging

Oracle Identity Manager uses Oracle Diagnostic Logging (ODL) logging service for recording all types of events pertaining to the connector.

The following topics provide detailed information about logging:

• Understanding Log Levels
• Enabling Logging

4.3.1 Understanding Log Levels

When you enable logging, Oracle Identity Manager automatically stores in a log file information about events that occur during the course of provisioning and reconciliation operations.

ODL is the principle logging service used by Oracle Identity Manager and is based on java.util.Logger. To specify the type of event for which you want logging to take place, you can set the log level to one of the following:

• SEVERE.intValue()+100

  This level enables logging of information about fatal errors.

• SEVERE

  This level enables logging of information about errors that might allow Oracle Identity Manager to continue running.

• WARNING

  This level enables logging of information about potentially harmful situations.

• INFO

  This level enables logging of messages that highlight the progress of the application.

• CONFIG

  This level enables logging of information about fine-grained events that are useful for debugging.

• FINE, FINER, FINEST

  These levels enable logging of information about fine-grained events, where FINEST logs information about all events.

These message types are mapped to ODL message type and level combinations as shown in Table 4-1.

Table 4-1 Log Levels and ODL Message Type:Level Combinations

Java Level	ODL Message Type:Level
SEVERE.intValue()+100	INCIDENT_ERROR:1
SEVERE	ERROR:1
WARNING	WARNING:1
INFO	NOTIFICATION:1
CONFIG	NOTIFICATION:16
FINE	TRACE:1
FINER	TRACE16
FINEST	TRACE32

The configuration file for OJDL is logging.xml is located at the following path: DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/servers/OIM_SERVER/logging.xml

Here, DOMAIN_HOME and OIM_SEVER are the domain and server names specified during the installation of Oracle Identity Manager.

4.3.2 Enabling Logging

To enable logging in Oracle WebLogic Server:

1. Edit the logging.xml file as follows:

   1. Add the following blocks in the file:

      <log_handler name='BOX-handler' level='[LOG_LEVEL]'class='oracle.core.ojdl.logging.ODLHandlerFactory'>
      <property name='logreader:' value='off'/>
      <property name='path' value='[FILE_NAME]'/> 
      <property name='format' value='ODL-Text'/>
      <property name='useThreadName' value='true'/>
      <property name='locale' value='en'/> <property name='maxFileSize' value='5242880'/>
      <property name='maxLogSize' value='52428800'/>
      <property name='encoding' value='UTF-8'/>
      </log_handler>

      <logger name="ORG.IDENTITYCONNECTORS.GENERICREST" level="[LOG_LEVEL]" useParentHandlers="false">
      <handler name="BOX-handler"/> 
      <handler name="console-handler"/>
      </logger>

      <logger name="ORG.IDENTITYCONNECTORS.RESTCOMMON" level="[LOG_LEVEL]" useParentHandlers="false">
      <handler name="BOX-handler"/> 
      <handler name="console-handler"/>
      </logger>

   2. Replace both occurrences of [LOG_LEVEL] with the ODL message type and level combination that you require. Table 4-1 lists the supported message type and level combinations. Similarly, replace [FILE_NAME] with the full path and name of the log file in which you want log messages to be recorded. The following blocks show sample values for [LOG_LEVEL] and [FILE_NAME]:

      <log_handler name='BOX-handler' level='NOTIFICATION:1' class='oracle.core.ojdl.logging.ODLHandlerFactory'> 
      <property name='logreader:' value='off'/>
      <property name='path' value='F:\MyMachine\middleware\user_projects\domains\base_domain1\servers\o im_server1\logs\oim_server1-diagnostic-1.log'/>
      <property name='format' value='ODL-Text'/> 
      <property name='useThreadName' value='true'/> 
      <property name='locale' value='en'/> 
      <property name='maxFileSize' value='5242880'/> 
      <property name='maxLogSize' value='52428800'/> 
      <property name='encoding' value='UTF-8'/>
      </log_handler>
      
      <logger name="ORG.IDENTITYCONNECTORS.GENERICREST" level="NOTIFICATION:1"useParentHandlers="false">
      <handler name="BOX-handler"/> 
      <handler name="console-handler"/>
      </logger>
      
      <logger name="ORG.IDENTITYCONNECTORS.RESTCOMMON" level="NOTIFICATION:1"useParentHandlers="false">
      <handler name="BOX-handler"/> 
      <handler name="console-handler"/>
      </logger>

   With these sample values, when you use Oracle Identity Manager, all messages generated for this connector that are of a log level equal to or higher than the NOTIFICATION:1 level are recorded in the specified file.

2. Save and close the file.
3. Set the following environment variable to redirect the server logs to a file:
   • For Microsoft Windows:

     set WLS_REDIRECT_LOG=FILENAME

   • For UNIX:

     export WLS_REDIRECT_LOG=FILENAME

   Replace FILENAME with the location and name of the file to which you want to redirect the output.

4. Restart the application server.

4.4 Configuring the IT Resource for the Connector Server

If you have used the Connector Server, then you must configure values for the parameters of the Connector Server IT resource.

After you create the application for your target system, the connector creates a default IT resource for the Connector Server. The name of this default IT resource is Box Connector Server.

In Oracle Identity System Administration, search for and edit the Box Connector Server IT resource to specify values for the parameters of IT resource for the Connector Server listed in Table 4-2. For more information about searching for IT resources and updating its parameters, see Managing IT Resources in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administering Oracle Identity Governance.

Table 4-2 Parameters of the IT Resource for the Box Connector Server

Parameter	Description
Host	Enter the host name or IP address of the computer hosting the Connector Server. Sample value: HostName
Key	Enter the key for the Connector Server.
Port	Enter the number of the port at which the Connector Server is listening. Sample value: 8763
Timeout	Enter an integer value which specifies the number of milliseconds after which the connection between the Connector Server and Oracle Identity Governance times out. If the value is zero or if no value is specified, the timeout is unlimited. Sample value: 0 (recommended value)
UseSSL	Enter true to specify that you will configure SSL between Oracle Identity Governance and the Connector Server. Otherwise, enter false. Default value: false Note: It is recommended that you configure SSL to secure communication with the connector server. To configure SSL, see Setting SSL for Connector Server and OIM in Oracle Fusion Middleware Developing and Customizing Applications for Oracle Identity Governance.

4.5 Localizing Field Labels in UI Forms

You can localize UI form field labels by using the resource bundle corresponding to the language you want to use. Resource bundles are available in the connector installation package.

To localize a field label that is added to the UI forms:

1. Log in to Oracle Enterprise Manager.
2. In the left pane, expand Application Deployments and then select oracle.iam.console.identity.sysadmin.ear.
3. In the right pane, from the Application Deployment list, select MDS Configuration.
4. On the MDS Configuration page, click Export and save the archive to the local computer.
5. Extract the contents of the archive, and open the following file in a text editor: SAVED_LOCATION\xliffBundles\oracle\iam\ui\runtime\BizEditorBundle_en_US.xlf
6. Edit the BizEditorBundle_en_US.xlf file in the following manner:

   1. Search for the following text:

      <file source-language="en" original="/xliffBundles/oracle/iam/ui/runtime/BizEditorBundle_en_US" datatype="x-oracle-adf">

   2. Replace with the following text:

      <file source-language="en" target-language="LANG_CODE" original="/xliffBundles/oracle/iam/ui/runtime/BizEditorBundle_en_US" datatype="x-oracle-adf">

      In this text, replace LANG_CODE with the code of the language that you want to localize the form field labels. The following is a sample value for localizing the form field labels in Japanese:

      <file source-language="en" target-language="ja" original="/xliffBundles/oracle/iam/ui/runtime/BizEditorBundle_en_US" datatype="x-oracle-adf">

   3. Search for the application instance code. This procedure shows a sample edit for Box application instance. The original code is:

      <trans-unit id="${adfBundle['oracle.adf.businesseditor.model.util.BaseRuntimeResourceBundle']['persdef.sessiondef.oracle.iam.ui.runtime.form.model.user.entity.userEO.UD_BOX_LOGIN__c_description']}">
      <source>Login</source>
      <target/>
      </trans-unit>
      <trans-unit id="sessiondef.oracle.iam.ui.runtime.form.model.BoxForm.entity.BoxFormEO.UD_BOX_LOGIN__c_LABEL">
      <source>Login</source>
      <target/>
      </trans-unit>

   4. Open the resource file from the connector package, for example Box_ja.properties, and get the value of the attribute from the file, for example,

      global.udf.UD_BOX_LOGIN=\u30ED\u30B0\u30A4\u30F3

   5. Replace the original code shown in Step 6.c with the following:

      <trans-unit id="${adfBundle['oracle.adf.businesseditor.model.util.BaseRuntimeResourceBundle']['persdef.sessiondef.oracle.iam.ui.runtime.form.model.user.entity.userEO.UD_BOX_LOGIN__c_description']}">
      <source>Login</source>
      <target>\u30ED\u30B0\u30A4\u30F3</target>
      </trans-unit>
      <trans-unit id="sessiondef.oracle.iam.ui.runtime.form.model.BoxForm.entity.BoxFormEO.UD_BOX_LOGIN__c_LABEL">
      <source>Login</source>
      <target>\u30ED\u30B0\u30A4\u30F3</target>
      </trans-unit>

   6. Repeat Steps 6.a through 6.d for all attributes of the process form.

   7. Save the file as BizEditorBundle_LANG_CODE.xlf. In this file name, replace LANG_CODE with the code of the language to which you are localizing. Sample file name: BizEditorBundle_ja.xlf.

7. Repackage the ZIP file and import it into MDS.

   See Also:

   Deploying and Undeploying Customizations in Oracle Fusion Middleware Developing and Customizing Applications for Oracle Identity Governance for more information about exporting and importing metadata files
8. Log out of and log in to Oracle Identity Manager.

4.6 Configuring SSL

Configure SSL to secure data communication between Oracle Identity Governance and the target system.

1. Obtain the SSL certificate by obtaining the public key certificate of the target system.
2. Copy the public key certificate of the target system to the computer hosting Oracle Identity Governance.
3. Run the following keytool command to import the public key certificate into the identity key store in Oracle Identity Governance:
   keytool -import -keystore WEBLOGIC_HOME/server/lib/DemoTrust.jks -file CERT_FILE_NAME -storepass PASSWORD

   In this command:

   • CERT_FILE_NAME is the full path and name of the certificate file

   • PASSWORD is the password of the keystore.

   The following is a sample value for this command:

   keytool -import -keystore WEBLOGIC_HOME/server/lib/DemoTrust.jks -file /home/target.cert -storepass example_password

   Note:

   Change the parameter values passed to the keytool command according to your requirements. Ensure that there is no line break in the keytool arguments.
