Correlation Rules, Responses, and Situations for an Authoritative Application

When you create an Authoritative application, the connector uses correlation rules to determine the identity that must be reconciled into Oracle Identity Governance.

Predefined Identity Correlation Rules

By default, the Generic SCIM connector provides a simple correlation rule when you create an Authoritative application. The connector uses this correlation rule to compare the entries in Oracle Identity Governance repository and the target system repository, determine the difference between the two repositories, and apply the latest changes to Oracle Identity Governance.

Below table lists the default simple correlation rule for an authoritative application. If required, you can edit the default correlation rule or add new rules. You can create complex correlation rules also. For more information about adding or editing simple or complex correlation rules, see Updating Identity Correlation Rule in Oracle Fusion Middleware Performing Self Service Tasks with Oracle Identity Governance.

Table 2-10 Predefined Identity Correlation Rule for an Authoritative Application

Target Attribute Element Operator Identity Attribute Case Sensitive?

__UID__

Equals

SCIM User GUID

No

__NAME__

Equals

User Login

No

The identity correlation rule for an Authoritative application is as follows:

(__UID__ Equals SCIM User GUID) OR (__NAME__ Equals User Login)

In the first identity rule component:

  • __UID__ is an attribute on the target system that uniquely identifies the user account.

  • SCIM User GUID is the unique identifier of the resource assigned to the OIG User.

In the second identity rule component:

  • __NAME__ is a single-valued attribute on the target system that identifies the user account.

  • User Login is the field on the OIG User form.

Both the rule components are joined using the OR logical operator.

Predefined Situations and Responses

The connector provides a default set of situations and responses when you create an Authoritative application. These situations and responses specify the action that Oracle Identity Governance must take based on the result of a reconciliation event.

Below table lists the default situations and responses for an authoritative application. If required, you can edit these default situations and responses or add new ones. For more information about adding or editing situations and responses, see Updating Situations and Responses in Oracle Fusion Middleware Performing Self Service Tasks with Oracle Identity Governance.
