1.6 Use Cases Supported by the Connector

The Cerner is used to integrate Oracle Identity Governance with Cerner to ensure that all Cerner accounts are created, updated, and deactivated on an integrated cycle with the rest of the identity-aware applications in your enterprise. The Cerner supports management of identities for Cloud Identity, Synchronized Identity, and Federated Identity models of Cerner. In a typical IT scenario, an organization using Oracle Identity Governance wants to manage accounts, groups, roles across Cerner Cloud Service. The following are some of the most common scenarios in which this connector can be used:

• Cerner User Management:

  An organization using Cerner wants to integrate with Oracle Identity Governance to manage identities. The organization wants to manage its user identities by creating them in the target system using Oracle Identity Governance. The organization also wants to synchronize user identity changes performed directly in the target system with Oracle Identity Governance. In such a scenario, a quick and an easy way is to install the Cerner and configure it with your target system by providing connection information.

  To create a new user in the target system, fill in and submit the OIM process form to trigger the provisioning operation. The connector executes the CreateOp operation against your target system and the user is created on successful execution of the operation. Similarly, operations like delete and update can be performed.

  To search or retrieve the user identities, you must run a scheduled task from Oracle Identity Governance. The connector will run the corresponding SearchOp against the user identities in the target system and fetch all the changes to Oracle Identity Governance.

• Cerner Group Management:

  An organization has a number of Cerner Groups allowing its users to set up new Cerner, manage memberships, and delete groups. The organization now wants to know the list of groups that have not been recently accessed or who have inactive members. In such a scenario, you can use the Cerner to highlight the usage trend for groups. By using the Cerner, you can leverage the reporting capabilities of Oracle Identity Governance to track any operations (such as create, update, delete) performed on groups.

• Cerner Personal Alias Management

  An organization has a many numbers of users and we can set up by adding or removing personal alias. By using the Cerner connector, you can leverage the reporting capabilities of Oracle Identity Governance to track any operations (such as update, delete) performed on personal Alias and changes made in their alias memberships.
