Synchronizing Oracle Identity Management and configuring Oracle Identity Management Provisioning Service
First, make a note to the following important terms:- Connectors: A connector is a prepackaged connectivity solution that exchanges data between the OID server and the connected directory in a synchronization environment. Connectors exchange data in a format that is understandable by both the directories.
- Synchronization profiles: A synchronization profile contains information about the type of interface to be used for synchronization of data between OID and connected directory.
- Synchronization Agent: It is a special program that synchronizes data between the OID server and other servers with different storage formats.
Mapping Rules
Mapping rules govern the conversion of attributes between a connected directory and the OID server. Mapping rules ensure that attributes mean the same when data is synchronized. The attributes between a connected directory and the OID server are converted by using mapping rules.
The following are two types of mapping rules:
- domain-level mapping rule
- Attribute-level mapping rule
The following are steps when involved in provisioning procedure:
- Create users in the central directory of the OID server.
- Enroll the users to the application:
o Automatic enrollment
o Manual enrollment
- Synchronize the user account and entitlements with the OID server.
