3 Configuring the Google Apps Connector
While creating a target application, you must configure connection-related parameters that the connector uses to connect Oracle Identity Governance with your target system and perform connector operations. In addition, you can view and edit attribute mappings between the process form fields in Oracle Identity Governance and target system attributes, predefined correlation rules, situations and responses, and reconciliation jobs.
3.1 Basic Configuration Parameters
These are the connection-related parameters that Oracle Identity Governance requires to connect to Google Apps.
Table 3-1 Basic Configuration Parameters for Google Apps

Set the value of this entry to true if you want the connector to perform connector operations in all the domains present in Google Apps. Default value: |
3.3 Attribute Mappings
The Schema page for a target application displays the default schema (provided by the connector) that maps Oracle Identity Governance attributes to target system attributes. The connector uses these mappings during reconciliation and provisioning operations.
Google Apps User Account Attributes
Table 3-3 lists the user-specific attribute mappings between the process form fields in Oracle Identity Governance and Google Apps attributes. The table also lists whether a specific attribute is used during provisioning or reconciliation and whether it is a matching key field for fetching records during reconciliation.
If required, you can edit the default attribute mappings by adding new attributes or deleting existing attributes as described in Creating a Target Application of Oracle Fusion Middleware Performing Self Service Tasks with Oracle Identity Governance.

3.3.1 Supported Attributes
While the Google Apps connector provides support for few single-valued attributes and few multi-valued attributes, it does not extend support for other multi-valued attributes or single valued custom attributes such as Department or Job Title.
The following Out of the Box and additional single valued attributes are supported by the Google Apps connector:
Table 3-6 Supported Attributes
Supported Out of the Box Attributes | Supported Additional Attributes |
---|---|
__NAME__ | isDelegatedAdmin |
__UID__ | agreedToTerms |
__PASSWORD__ | hashFunction |
familyName | suspended |

3.4 Correlation Rules
When you create a Target application, the connector uses correlation rules to determine the identity to which Oracle Identity Governance must assign a resource.
Predefined Identity Rules
By default, the Google Apps connector provides a complex correlation rule when you create a Target 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.
If required, you can edit the default correlation rule or add new rules. You can create simple 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.
The following block of code lists the default complex correlation rule for a Google Apps application:
{
"ruleOperator": "OR",
"ruleElement": [
{
"targetAttribute": "__UID__",
"userAttribute": "GAPPS User GUID",
"elementOperator": "Equals",
"transformName": "None"
},
{
"targetAttribute": "__NAME__",
"userAttribute": "User Login",
"elementOperator": "Equals",
"transformName": "Tokenize",
"transformParams": [
{
"name": "Space Delimiter",
"value": "FALSE"
},
{
"name": "Token Number",
"value": "1"
},
{
"name": "Delimiters",
"value": "'@'"
}
]
}
]
}
The preceding complex rule consists of 2 rule elements that are joined by the rule operator OR.
The first rule element is:
__UID__ equals GAPPS User GUID.
-
__UID__ is an attribute on the target system that uniquely identifies the user account.
-
GAPPS User GUID is a field on the OIM User form that holds the unique ID of the Google Apps user.
The second rule element is:
Tokenize (__NAME__) equals User Login.
-
Tokenize (__NAME__) is the name part in the email address of the Google Apps account.
-
User Login is the field on the OIM User form.
Predefined Situations and Responses
The Google Apps connector provides a default set of situations and responses when you create a Target application. These situations and responses specify the action that Oracle Identity Governance must take based on the result of a reconciliation event.
Table 3-7 lists the default situations and responses for the Google Apps 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
Table 3-7 Predefined Situations and Responses for Google Apps
Situation | Response |
---|---|
No Matches Found |
Create User |
One Entity Match Found |
Establish Link |
One Process Match Found |

Figure 3-4 shows the situations and responses that the connector provides by default.

3.5 Reconciliation Jobs
These are the reconciliation jobs that are automatically created in Oracle Identity Governance after you create the application.
User Reconciliation Job
You can either use these predefined jobs or edit them to meet your requirements. Alternatively, you can create custom reconciliation jobs. For information about editing these predefined jobs or creating new ones, see Updating Reconciliation Jobs in Oracle Fusion Middleware Performing Self Service Tasks with Oracle Identity Governance.
The Google Apps Target Resource User Reconciliation job is used to reconcile user data from a target application.
