Software Updates

These are the updates made to the connector software.

Software Updates in Release 12.2.1.3.0

The following are the software updates in release 12.2.1.3.0:

Support for Onboarding Applications Using the Connector

From this release onward, the connector bundle includes application onboarding templates required for performing connector operations on the Oracle Identity Cloud Service (IDCS) target system. This helps in quicker onboarding of the applications for this target system into Oracle Identity Governance by using an intuitive UI.

Support for Password Hashing and Deleting Users Associated with Entities

From this release onward, the connector enables hashing on the default password that is sent to the target system when a new account is created. This helps in provisioning accounts on IDCS with the password that is assigned to the corresponding Oracle Identity Governance Users. In addition, the account creation notification is not sent from IDCS and users do not need to reset password on first login.

The connector also supports deleting users that are associated with one or more entities (Groups or Applications) in IDCS.

For details on these features, see Guidelines on Performing Provisioning Operations.
