Creating a One Identity Manager connection

Synchronization Service supports One Identity Manager, allowing you to create a connection to Identity Manager right after installing Synchronization Service.

To create a new Identity Manager connection

  1. In the Synchronization Service Console, open the Connections tab.
  2. Click Add connection, then use the following options:
    • Connection name: Type a descriptive name for the connection.

    • Use the specified connector: Select One Identity Manager Connector.

  3. Click Next.

  4. On the Specify connection settings page, use the following options:

    • Application Server URL: Specify the address of the One Identity Manager application server to which you want to connect.

    • Authentication module: Identifies the One Identity Manager authentication module that is to be used to verify the connection’s user ID and password.

    • User name: Specify the user ID for this connection.

    • Password: Specify the password of the user ID for this connection.

    • Test Connection: Click this button to verify the specified connection settings.

  5. Click Next.

    The One Identity Manager modules, target systems, and containers appear.

  6. Select the required One Identity Manager modules.

    NOTE: The One Identity Manager target systems and One Identity Manager containers are applicable only for the Target System Base module (that is, UNS<x>B tables).

  7. To finish creating the connection to One Identity Manager, click Finish .

Modifying a One Identity Manager connection

You can modify an existing One Identity Manager Connector in the Active Roles Synchronization Service Console.

To modify an existing One Identity Manager Identity Manager connection

  1. In the Synchronization Service Console, open the Connections tab.

  2. Click Connection settings below the existing One Identity Manager connection you want to modify.

  3. On the Specify connection settings page, use the following options:

    • Application Server URL: Specify the address of the One Identity Manager application server to which you want to connect.

    • Authentication module: Identifies the One Identity Manager authentication module that is to be used to verify the connection’s user ID and password.

    • User name: Specify the user ID for this connection.

    • Password: Specify the password of the user ID for this connection.

    • Test Connection: Click this button to verify the specified connection settings.

  4. Click Next.

    The One Identity Manager modules, target systems, and containers are displayed.

  5. Select the required One Identity Manager modules.

    NOTE: The One Identity Manager target systems and One Identity Manager containers are applicable only for the Target System Base module (that is, UNS<x>B tables).

  6. To finish creating the One Identity Manager connection, click Finish.

One Identity Manager Connector configuration file

One Identity Manager Connector saves its configuration settings in the configuration file (.xml file) located in the Active Roles Synchronization Service installation folder. You can edit the XML elements in the file to configure the various parameters of the One Identity Manager Connector. The table below describes the XML elements you can edit.

Table 39: XML elements

XML element

Description

<ExcludeDeletedObjects>

Specifies how Active Roles will treat objects marked as deleted in Identity Manager. This element can take one of the following values:

  • TRUE: Specifies to ignore deleted objects during data synchronization operations.

  • FALSE: Specifies to process deleted objects during data synchronization operations.

For example:

<ExcludeDeletedObjects>
TRUE
</ExcludeDeletedObjects>

<PasswordAttributes>

Specifies the default Identity Manager attribute to be used for storing passwords for objects of a particular type. Specifying an attribute for storing passwords in the Active Roles GUI overrides the value set in this XML element.

For example:

<PasswordAttributes>
   <PasswordAttributeDefinitions>
      <PasswordAttributeDefinition objectType="Person" attribute="CentralPassword" />
   </PasswordAttributeDefinitions>
</PasswordAttributes>

<ReadFullSync>

Specifies a value of the FullSync variable for Read operations performed in Identity Manager.

<CreateFullSync>

Specifies a value of the FullSync variable for Create operations performed in Identity Manager.

<ModifyFullSync>

Specifies a value of the FullSync variable for Modify operations performed in Identity Manager.

<DeleteFullSync>

Specifies a value of the FullSync variable for Delete operations performed in Identity Manager.

<ObjRefFullSync>

Specifies a value of the FullSync variable for Modify Object Reference operations performed in Identity Manager.

<SyncStatusFullSync>

Specifies a value of the FullSync variable for Sync Status operations performed in Identity Manager.

For more information about the FullSync variable and the values it can take, see the One Identity Manager documentation.

Working with a delimited text file

This section describes how to create or modify a connection to a delimited text file so that Synchronization Service could work with data in that file.

To create a connection to a delimited text file, you need to use Synchronization Service in conjunction with a special connector called Delimited Text File Connector. This connector is included in the Synchronization Service package.

The Delimited Text File Connector supports the following features:

Table 40: Delimited Text File Connector – Supported features

Feature

Supported

Bidirectional synchronization

Specifies whether you can both read and write data in the connected data system.

No

Delta processing mode

Specifies whether the connection can process only the data that has changed in the connected data system since the last synchronization operation. This reduces the overall synchronization duration.

Yes

Password synchronization

Specifies whether you can synchronize user passwords from an Active Directory (AD) domain to the connected data system.

No
