Email notifications about login data

Table 39: Configuration parameters for notifications about actions in the target system
Configuration parameter Meaning

TargetSystem | SAPR3 | Accounts |
InitialRandomPassword | SendTo

This configuration parameter specifies to which employee the email with the random generated password should be sent (manager cost center/department/location/business role, employee’s manager or XUserInserted). If no recipient can be found, the password is sent to the address stored in the “TargetSystem | SAPR3 | DefaultAddress” configuration parameter.

TargetSystem | SAPR3 | Accounts |
InitialRandomPassword | SendTo |
MailTemplateAccountName

This configuration parameter contains the name of the mail template sent to provide users with the login data for their user accounts. The Employee - new user account created mail template is used.

TargetSystem | SAPR3 | Accounts |
InitialRandomPassword | SendTo |
MailTemplatePassword

This configuration parameter contains the name of the mail template sent to provide users with information about their initial password. The Employee - initial password for new user account mail template is used.

TargetSystem | SAPR3 | DefaultAddress

The configuration parameter contains the recipient's default email address for sending notifications about actions in the target system.

You can configure the login information for new user accounts to be sent by email to a specified person. In this case, two messages are sent with the user name and the initial password. Mail templates are used to generate the messages. The mail text in a mail template is defined in several languages. This means the recipient’s language can be taken into account when the email is generated. Mail templates are supplied in the default installation with which you can configure the notification procedure.

To use email notifications about login data

  1. Ensure that the email notification system is configured in One Identity Manager. For more detailed information, see the One Identity Manager Installation Guide.
  2. In the Designer, set the Common | MailNotification | DefaultSender configuration parameter and enter the sender address for sending the email notifications.
  3. Ensure that all employees have a default email address. Notifications are sent to this address. For more detailed information, see the One Identity Manager Identity Management Base Module Administration Guide.
  4. Ensure that a language can be determined for all employees. Only then can they receive email notifications in their own language. For more detailed information, see the One Identity Manager Identity Management Base Module Administration Guide.

When a randomly generated password is issued for the new user account, the initial login data for a user account is sent by email to a previously specified person.

To send initial login data by email

  1. In the Designer, set the "TargetSystem | SAPR3 | Accounts | InitialRandomPassword" configuration parameter.
  2. In the Designer, set the "TargetSystem | SAPR3 | Accounts | InitialRandomPassword | SendTo" configuration parameter and enter the message recipient as value.
  3. In the Designer, set the "TargetSystem | SAPR3 | Accounts | InitialRandomPassword | SendTo | MailTemplateAccountName" configuration parameter.

    By default, the message sent uses the mail template "Employee - new account created". The message contains the name of the user account.

  4. In the Designer, set the "TargetSystem | SAPR3 | Accounts | InitialRandomPassword | SendTo | MailTemplatePassword” configuration parameter.

    By default, the message sent uses the mail template "Employee - initial password for new user account". The message contains the initial password for the user account.

TIP: To use custom mail templates for emails of this type, change the value of the configuration parameter.

Specifies whether the client is used for user administration.

If this option is set, the most significant license of the user account is used for system measurement.

Account definition (initial)

Initial account definition for creating user accounts. This account definition is used if automatic assignment of employees to user accounts is used for this client and if user accounts are to be created that are already managed (Linked configured). The account definition's default manage level is applied.

User accounts are only linked to the employee (Linked state) if no account definition is given. This is the case on initial synchronization, for example.

NOTE: If the CUAClosed status Child is assigned, no account definition should be assigned.

Target system managers

Select the One Identity Manager application role whose members are responsible for administration of this client. Use the button to add a new application role.

Synchronized by

NOTE: You can only specify the synchronization type when adding a new client. No changes can be made after saving.

If you create a client with the Synchronization Editor, One Identity Manager is used.

Type of synchronization through which data is synchronized between the client and One Identity Manager. Once objects are available for this client in One Identity Manager, the type of synchronization can no longer be changed.
