A synchronization project collects all the information required for synchronizing the One Identity Manager database with a target system. Connection data for target systems, schema types and properties, mapping, and synchronization workflows all belong to this.
Make the following information available for setting up a synchronization project for synchronizing with the generic database connector.
Data |
Explanation |
---|---|
Synchronization server |
All One Identity Manager Service actions are run against the target system environment on the synchronization server. Data entries required for synchronization and administration with the One Identity Manager database are processed by the synchronization server. Installed components:
The synchronization server must be declared as a Job server in One Identity Manager. The Job server name is required. For more information, see Setting up the synchronization server. |
Remote connection server |
To configure synchronization with a target system, One Identity Manager must load the data from the target system. One Identity Manager communicates directly with the target system to do this. Sometimes direct access from the workstation, on which the Synchronization Editor is installed, is not possible. For example, because of the firewall configuration or the workstation does not fulfill the necessary hardware and software requirements. The remote connection server and the workstation must be in the same Active Directory domain. Remote connection server configuration:
The remote connection server must be declared as a Job server in One Identity Manager. The Job server name is required. TIP: The remote connection server requires the same configuration as the synchronization server (with regard to the installed software and entitlements). Use the synchronization as remote connection server at the same time by installing the RemoteConnectPlugin as well. For more detailed information about establishing a remote connection, see the One Identity Manager Target System Synchronization Reference Guide. |
Synchronization workflow |
Set the Data import option in the synchronization step if synchronization data is imported from a secondary system. For more detailed information about synchronizing user data with different systems, see the One Identity Manager Target System Synchronization Reference Guide. |
Base object |
You cannot normally specify a base object for synchronizing
|
Variable set |
If you implement specialized variable sets, ensure that the start up configuration and the base object use the same variable set. |
To configure synchronization with the generic database connector
-
Create a new synchronization project.
-
Add mappings. Define property mapping rules and object matching rules.
-
Create synchronization workflows.
-
Create a start up configuration.
-
Define the synchronization scope.
-
Specify the base object of the synchronization.
-
Specify the extent of the synchronization log.
-
Run a consistency check.
-
Activate the synchronization project.
-
Save the new synchronization project in the database.
