Extending the Functionality of the Connector

6 Extending the Functionality of the Connector

You can extend the functionality of the connector to address your specific business requirements.

This section discusses the following topics:

6.1 Adding New Attributes for Reconciliation

The connector provides a default set of attribute mappings for reconciliation between Oracle Identity Governance and the target system. If required, you can add new user attributes for reconciliation using the user interface.

The default attribute mappings for reconciliation are listed in Attribute Mappings.

6.2 Adding New Attributes for Provisioning

The connector provides a default set of attribute mappings for provisioning between Oracle Identity Governance and the target system. If required, you can add new user attributes for provisioning using the user interface.

The default attribute mappings for provisioning are listed in Attribute Mappings.

Note:

Note: If the added attribute cannot be updated, ensure to add the attribute to updateNotSupportedForAttribute in the Advanced Settings Parameters.

6.3 Configuring Transformation and Validation of Data

Configure transformation and validation of user account data by writing Groovy script logic while creating your application.

You can configure transformation of reconciled single-valued user data according to your requirements. For example, you can use First Name and Last Name values to create a value for the Full Name field in Oracle Identity Governance.

Similarly, you can configure validation of reconciled and provisioned single-valued data according to your requirements. For example, you can validate data fetched from the First Name attribute to ensure that it does not contain the number sign (#). In addition, you can validate data entered in the First Name field on the process form so that the number sign (#) is not sent to the target system during provisioning operations.

To configure transformation or validation of user account data, you must write Groovy scripts while creating your application. For more information about writing Groovy script-based validation and transformation logic, see Validation and Transformation of Provisioning and Reconciliation Attributes of Oracle Fusion Middleware Performing Self Service Tasks with Oracle Identity Governance.

6.4 Configuring Action Scripts

You can configure Action Scripts by writing your own Groovy scripts while creating your application.

These scripts can be configured to run before or after the create, update, or delete an account provisioning operations. For example, you can configure a script to run before every user creation operation.

For information on adding or editing action scripts, see Updating the Provisioning Configuration in Oracle Fusion Middleware Performing Self Service Tasks with Oracle Identity Governance.
