Configure a Microsoft Active Directory (AD) Bridge
After creating a Microsoft Active Directory (AD) Bridge, you configure it by:
-
Selecting the AD organizational units (OUs) and groups with which you want Oracle Identity Cloud Service to synchronize using the AD Bridge. The OUs contain the users that you want to import into Oracle Identity Cloud Service. By synchronizing with AD, the bridge can transfer new, updated, or deleted user or group records into Oracle Identity Cloud Service.
- Specifying whether, after a user or group is synchronized from AD to Oracle Identity Cloud Service, if you activate or deactivate a user, modify the user's attribute values, or change the group memberships for the user in Oracle Identity Cloud Service, these changes will be propagated to AD.
-
Scheduling how often you want Oracle Identity Cloud Service to use the AD Bridge to import users and groups from AD.
-
Defining custom attribute mappings between AD and Oracle Identity Cloud Service.
-
Specifying whether users can use their Oracle Identity Cloud Service or AD passwords, or their federated accounts, to authenticate into Oracle Identity Cloud Service to access resources that are protected by Oracle Identity Cloud Service, such as the My Profile console, the Identity Cloud Service console, or any apps assigned to the users.
