4 Performing the Postconfiguration Tasks for the Concur 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 for the Connector Server

• Configuring the IT Resource for the Target System

• 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 a Sandbox in Oracle Fusion Middleware Developing and Customizing Applications for Oracle Identity Governance.

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 Governance.

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

4.1.3 Publishing a Sandbox

Before publishing a sandbox, perform this procedure as a best practice to validate all sandbox changes made till this stage as it is difficult to revert the changes after a sandbox is published.

1. In Identity System Administration, deactivate the sandbox.

2. Log out of Identity System Administration.

3. Log in to Identity Self Service using the xelsysadm user credentials and then activate the sandbox that you deactivated in Step 1.

4. In the Catalog, ensure that the application instance form for your resource appears with correct fields.

5. Publish the sandbox. See Publishing a Sandbox in Oracle Fusion Middleware Developing and Customizing Applications for Oracle Identity Governance.

4.1.4 Updating an Existing Application Instance with a New Form

For any changes that you do in the schema of your application in Identity Self Service, 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 and activate a sandbox.

2. Create a new UI form for the resource.

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.

4.2 Harvesting Entitlements and Sync Catalog

You can populate Entitlement schema from child process form table, and harvest roles, application instances, and entitlements into catalog. You can also load catalog metadata.

To harvest entitlements and sync catalog:

1. Run the Entitlement List scheduled job to populate Entitlement Assignment schema from child process form table.
2. Run the Catalog Synchronization Job scheduled job.

See Also:

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

4.3 Managing Logging for the Connector Server

Oracle Identity Governance uses the 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 Governance 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 Governance 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 Governance 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	TRACE:16
FINEST	TRACE:32

The configuration file for OJDL is logging.xml, which is located at the following path:

DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/servers/OIM_SERVER/logging.xml

Here, DOMAIN_HOME and OIM_SERVER are the domain name and server name specified during the installation of Oracle Identity Governance.

4.3.2 Enabling Logging

Perform this procedure to enable logging in Oracle WebLogic Server.

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='Concur-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="Concur-handler"/>
      	<handler name="console-handler"/>
      </logger>

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

   2. Replace both occurrences of [LOG_LEVEL] with the ODL message type and level combination that you require. Log Levels and ODL Message Type:Level Combinations 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='Concur-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\oim_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="Concur-handler"/> 
      	<handler name="console-handler"/>
      </logger>
      
      <logger name="ORG.IDENTITYCONNECTORS.RESTCOMMON" level="NOTIFICATION:1" useParentHandlers="false">
      	<handler name="Concur-handler"/> 
      	<handler name="console-handler"/>
      </logger>

   With these sample values, when you use Oracle Identity Governance, 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 Target System

An IT resource for your target system is created after you install the connector. You configure this IT resource to enable the connector to connect Oracle Identity Governance with your target system.

This section contains the following topics:

• IT Resource Parameters
• Specifying Values for IT Resource Parameters

4.4.1 IT Resource Parameters

An IT resource is composed of parameters that store connection and other generic information about a target system. Oracle Identity Governance uses this information to connect to a specific installation or instance of your target system.

Table 4-2 displays each parameter of the Concur IT resource in an alphabetical order.

Table 4-2 IT Resource Parameters

4.4.2 Specifying Values for IT Resource Parameters

The IT resource for the target system contains connection information about the target system. Oracle Identity Governance uses this information during provisioning and reconciliation. The Concur IT resource is automatically created when you run the Connector Installer, and you must specify values for the parameters of the IT resource.

To specify values for the parameters of the IT resource:

1. Log in to Identity System Administration.
2. Create and activate a sandbox. See Creating a Sandbox and Activating and Deactivating a Sandbox in Oracle Fusion Middleware Developing and Customizing Applications for Oracle Identity Manager.
3. In the left pane, under Configuration, click IT Resource.
4. In the IT Resource Name field on the Manage IT Resource page, enter Concur and then click Search.
5. Click the Edit icon for the IT resource.
6. From the list at the top of the page, select Details and Parameters.
7. Specify values for the parameters of the IT resource. IT Resource Parameters describes each parameter.
8. To save the values, click Update.

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. The resource bundles are available in the connector installation media.

To localize a field label that is added to 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.xlf"

6. Edit the BizEditorBundle.xlf file in the following manner:

   1. Search for the following text:

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

   3. Search for the application instance code. This procedure shows a sample edit for the Concur 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_ LOGINID__c_description']}">
      <source>Login ID</source>
      <target/>
      </trans-unit>
      <trans-unit 
      id="sessiondef.oracle.iam.ui.runtime.form.model.ConcurForm.entity.ConcurFormEO.UD_LOGINID __c_LABEL">
      <source>Login ID</source>
      <target/>
      </trans-unit>

      In this text, ConcurForm is the current form instance name associated with the Concur application instance.

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

      global.UD_CONCUR_LOGINID =\u30A2\u30AB\u30A6\u30F3\u30C8\u540D.

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

      <trans-unit 
      id="${adfBundle['oracle.adf.businesseditor.model.util.BaseRuntimeResourceBu ndle']['persdef.sessiondef.oracle.iam.ui.runtime.form.model.user.entity.use rEO.UD_CONCUR_LOGINID__c_description']}">
      <source>LoginID</source>
      <target>u30A2\u30AB\u30A6\u30F3\u30C8\u540D</target>
      </trans-unit> 
      <trans-unit
      id="sessiondef.oracle.iam.ui.runtime.form.model.Concur.entity sEO.UD_CONCUR___c_LABEL">
      <source>First Name</source> 
      <target>\u30A2\u3FIRSTNAME0AB\u30A6\u30F3\u30C8\u540D</target> 
      </trans-unit>

   6. Repeat Step 6 a through Step 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 Governance.

4.6 Configuring SSL

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

To configure SSL:

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 DemoTrustKeyStorePassPhrase

   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.
