5.1 Guidelines to Apply While Using the Connector

Apply the following guidelines while using the connector:

• While creating an account for a user of type 'User' in the target system, the Position field is optional. Suppose you create a target system user account (of the type 'User') without specifying a value for the Position attribute. After you run the scheduled job for user reconciliation, the details of this newly created target system account are reconciled into Oracle Identity Manager.

  In the Administrative and User Console, when you update the attributes of the OIM User (corresponding to the newly created target system user account), this update provisioning operation fails. This is because Position is a mandatory field on the OIM User process form.

  As a workaround, log in to the Design Console, mark the Position field as optional on the process form, and then run reconciliation for users of type 'Users'.

• The following is a guildeline on performing provisioning:

  To activate a user or an employee account in Oracle Identity Manager, assign a responsibility.

  To deactivate a user or an employee account in Oracle Identity Manager, delete all responsibilities assigned to the corresponding user or employee in the target system, and then run reconciliation.
