3.4.2 Rules, Situations, and Responses for an Authoritative Application

Learn about the predefined rules, responses, and situations for an Authoritative application. The connector uses these rules and responses for performing reconciliation.

Predefined Identity Correlation Rules

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

Table 3-10 lists the default simple correlation rule for Salesforce connector. 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 Creating a Target Application in Oracle Fusion Middleware Performing Self Service Tasks with Oracle Identity Governance.

Table 3-10 Predefined Identity Correlation Rule for a Salesforce Authoritative Application

Authoritative Attribute	Element Operator	Identity Attribute	Case Sensitive?
__NAME__	Equals	User Login	No
_UID_	Equals	Salesforce GUID	No

Correlation Rule element: (__NAME__ Equals Salesforce GUID ) OR (_UID_ Equals User Login)

In the first correlation rule element:

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

• User Login is the unique login name of a user.

In the second correlation rule element:

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

• Salesforce GUID is the field on the OIG User form.

• Rule operator: OR

Figure 3-2 shows the simple correlation rule for a Salesforce Authoritative application.

Predefined Situations and Responses

The Salesforce 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.

Table 3-11 lists the default situations and responses for a Salesforce 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 Creating a Target Application in Oracle Fusion Middleware Performing Self Service Tasks with Oracle Identity Governance.
