1 Overview of the GoToMeeting Connector

Oracle Identity Governance is a centralized identity management solution that provides self service, compliance, provisioning and password management services for applications residing on-premises or on the Cloud. Oracle Identity Governance connectors are used to integrate Oracle identity Governance with the external identity-aware applications.

The GoToMeeting connector enables you to onboard applications in Oracle Identity Governance for GoToMeeting.

Note:

In this guide, the connector that is deployed using the Applications option on the Manage tab of Identity Self Service is referred to as an AOB application. The connector that is deployed using the Manage Connector option in Oracle Identity System Administration is referred to as a CI-based connector (Connector Installer-based connector).

From Oracle Identity Governance release 12.2.1.3.0 onward, connector deployment is handled using the application onboarding capability of Oracle Identity Self Service. This capability lets business users to onboard applications with minimum details and effort. The connector installation package includes a collection of predefined templates (XML files) that contain all the information required for provisioning and reconciling data from a given application or target system. These templates also include basic connectivity and configuration details specific to your target system. The connector uses information from these predefined templates allowing you to onboard your applications quickly and easily using only a single and simplified UI.

Application onboarding is the process of registering or associating an application with Oracle Identity Governance and making that application available for provisioning and reconciliation of user information.

The following topics provide a high-level overview of the connector:

• Introduction to the GoToMeeting Connector

• Use Cases Supported by the GoToMeeting Connector

• Roadmap for Implementing the GoToMeeting Connector

Note:

In this guide, the term Oracle Identity Governance server refers to the computer on which Oracle Identity Governance is installed.

1.1 Introduction to the GoToMeeting Connector

The GoToMeeting connector enables Oracle Identity Governance to manage the identity data for GoToMeeting by integrating Oracle Identity Governance with the GoToMeeting Admin Center (Admin Center) either by using Oracle Identity Governance Connector for Microsoft Active Directory User Management (OIG AD connector) or by using the predefined GoToMeeting connector.

Both the implementations can be configured to run in the Target (account management) mode.

The following sections provide details on the GoToMeeting connector implementations:

• OIG AD Connector Integration

• Predefined Integration

OIG AD Connector Integration

This implementation of the connector integrates Oracle Identity Governance with the Admin Center by using Microsoft Active Directory (AD) as a middleware. In this implementation, AD is used as a user source for performing user management operations in the Admin Center.

The OIG AD connector allows synchronization of the GoToMeeting user information between Oracle Identity Governance and AD. The GoToMeeting Active Directory Connector (GoToMeeting AD connector) helps in fetching the attributes from AD and then synchronizing the data with the Admin Center.

This is an optional integration, and you can choose this integration for managing GoToMeeting users if you have already configured Microsoft Active Directory with the Admin Center.

See Integrating GoToMeeting with OIG AD Connector.

Predefined Integration

You can implement the GoToMeeting connector using the predefined integration. This implementation of the connector integrates Oracle Identity Governance with the Admin Center by using GoToMeeting Administration APIs. The Admin Center is used as a target (managed) resource of the identity data for Oracle Identity Governance.

The information about users that are created or modified directly on the Admin Center can be reconciled into Oracle Identity Governance. This data is used to add or modify resources (that is, accounts) that are allocated to Oracle Identity Governance Users. In addition, you can use Oracle Identity Governance to provision or update GoToMeeting accounts that are assigned to Oracle Identity Governance Users.

See Implementing the GoToMeeting Connector.

Note:

In this guide,

• Oracle Identity Governance Connector for Microsoft Active Directory User Management is referred to as the OIG AD connector.

• GoToMeeting Active Directory Connector is referred to as the GoToMeeting AD connector.

• GoToMeeting Admin Center is referred to as the target system.

1.2 Use Cases Supported by the GoToMeeting Connector

GoToMeeting is a cloud-based application that offers online meeting, screen sharing, and video conferencing features. The GoToMeeting connector helps in managing GoToMeeting users and their accounts through Oracle Identity Governance.

The following is a common scenario in which the GoToMeeting connector can be used:

Organizations use GoToMeeting for a real-time collaboration of users across various locations. The administrator needs to assign an account with a valid GoToMeeting license to each GoToMeeting user, and also ensure that the user is unable to access the application using the account after leaving the organization.

The GoToMeeting connector provides a user management functionality that enables automation of provisioning and deprovisioning of GoToMeeting User accounts. The connector enables organizations to manage identities and licenses for GoToMeeting users through Oracle Identity Governance. For example, after a user joins an organization, an account is automatically provisioned to the user based on the predefined access policies in Oracle Identity Governance. In addition, the user is assigned a GoToMeeting license. Similarly, this account is deactivated after the user leaves the organization. This saves time and provides robust security because of less manual intervention.

1.3 Roadmap for Implementing the GoToMeeting Connector

This is the organization of information available in this guide for understanding, deploying, and using the GoToMeeting connector.

The rest of this guide is divided into the following chapters:

• Integrating GoToMeeting with OIG AD Connector provides information on understanding the OIG AD connector integration with GoToMeeting. It also provides guidelines on deploying and using the required connectors (OIG AD connector and GoToMeeting AD connector) for implementing this integration approach.

• Implementing the GoToMeeting Connector provides information on understanding, deploying, and using the predefined GoToMeeting connector. It also provides details on upgrading the connector and extending its functionality to address your specific requirements.

• Files and Directories in the GoToMeeting Connector Package lists the files and directories that comprise the connector installation package.
