Identity Manager 9.2.1 - Administration Guide for Connecting to Cloud Applications

The One Identity Manager Service must be installed on the synchronization server with the SCIM connector. The synchronization server must be declared as a Job server in One Identity Manager.

Table 3: Properties of the Job server
Property	Value
Server function	SCIM connector
Machine role	Server \| Job Server \| SCIM

NOTE: If several target system environments of the same type are synchronized under the same synchronization server, it is recommended that you set up a Job server for each target system for performance reasons. This avoids unnecessary swapping of connections to target systems because a Job server only has to process tasks of the same type (re-use of existing connections).

To set up a Job server, perform the following steps.

Create a Job server and install and configure the One Identity Manager Service.

Use the One Identity Manager Service to install the Server Installer. The program runs the following steps:
- Sets up a Job server.
- Specifies machine roles and server function for the Job server.
- Installs One Identity Manager Service components corresponding to the machine roles.
- Configures the One Identity Manager Service.
- Starts the One Identity Manager Service.
Use the Server Installer to install the One Identity Manager Service locally or remotely.

To remotely install the One Identity Manager Service, provide an administrative workstation on which the One Identity Manager components are installed. Ensure that the One Identity Manager components are installed on the server before installing locally. For more information about installing One Identity Manager components, see the One Identity Manager Installation Guide.
If you are working with an encrypted One Identity Manager database, declare the database key in the One Identity Manager Service. For more information about working with an encrypted One Identity Manager database, see the One Identity Manager Installation Guide.
To generate processes for the Job server, you need the provider, connection parameters and the authentication data. By default, this information is determined from the database connection data. If the Job server runs through an application server, you must configure extra connection data in the Designer. For more information about connection data, see the One Identity Manager Configuration Guide.

To install and configure the One Identity Manager Service on a server

Start the Server Installer program.

NOTE: To install remotely, start the Server Installer program on your administrative workstation. To install locally, start the program on the server.

On the Database connection page, enter the valid connection credentials for the One Identity Manager database.

You can connect via the application server or directly to connect to the database.
On the Server properties page, specify the server on which you want to install the One Identity Manager Service.
1. Select a Job server from the Server menu.
  
  - OR -
  
  To create a new Job server, click Add.
2. Enter the following data for the Job server.
  - Server: Name of the Job server.
  - Queue: Name of the queue to handle the process steps. Each Job server within the network must have a unique queue identifier. The process steps are requested by the Job queue using this exact queue name. The queue identifier is entered in the One Identity Manager Service configuration file.
  - Full server name: Full server name in accordance with DNS syntax.
    
    Syntax:
    
    <Name of servers>.<Fully qualified domain name>
  NOTE: You can use the Extended option to make changes to other properties for the Job server. You can also edit the properties later with the Designer.

On the Machine roles page, select SCIM.
On the Server functions page, select SCIM connector.
On the Service Settings page, enter the connection data and check the One Identity Manager Service configuration.

NOTE: The initial service configuration is predefined. If further changes need to be made to the configuration, you can do this later with the Designer. For more information about configuring the service, see the One Identity Manager Configuration Guide.

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. The One Identity Manager Service must be installed on the synchronization server with the SCIM connector. The synchronization server must be declared as a Job server in One Identity Manager. Use the following properties when you set up the Job server. Server function: SCIM connector Machine role: Server/Jobserver/SCIM For more information, see System requirements for the SCIM synchronization server.
One Identity Manager database connection data	Database server Database name SQL Server login and password Specifies whether integrated Windows authentication is used Use of the integrated Windows authentication is not recommended. If you decide to use it anyway, ensure that your environment supports Windows authentication.
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. If direct access is not possible from the workstation, you can set up a remote connection. Remote connection server configuration: One Identity Manager Service is started RemoteConnectPlugin is installed and an authentication method is set up SCIM connector is installed The remote connection server must be declared as a Job server in One Identity Manager. The Job server name is required. For more detailed information about setting up a remote connection, see the One Identity Manager Target System Synchronization Reference Guide.

Creating an initial synchronization project for a cloud application

NOTE: The following sequence describes how to configure a synchronization project if the Synchronization Editor is both:

SCIM synchronization of an SAP Cloud ALM application	Use this project template for initial configuration of the synchronization project for synchronizing an SAP Cloud ALM application via SAP Cloud Identity Services.

NOTE: A default project template ensures that all required information is added in One Identity Manager. This includes mappings, workflows, and the synchronization base object. If you do not use a default project template you must declare the synchronization base object in One Identity Manager yourself.Use a default project template for initially setting up the synchronization project. For custom implementations, you can extend the synchronization project with the Synchronization Editor.

On the Restrict target system access page, specify how system access should work. You have the following options: Read-only access to target system.

Table 12: Specify target system access
Option	Meaning
	Specifies that a synchronization workflow is only to be set up for the initial loading of the target system into the One Identity Manager database. The synchronization workflow has the following characteristics: Synchronization is in the direction of One Identity Manager. Processing methods in the synchronization steps are only defined for synchronization in the direction of One Identity Manager.
Read/write access to target system. Provisioning available.	Specifies whether a provisioning workflow is set up in addition to the synchronization workflow for the initial loading of the target system. The provisioning workflow displays the following characteristics: Synchronization is in the direction of the Target system. Processing methods are only defined in the synchronization steps for synchronization in the direction of the Target system. Synchronization steps are only created for such schema classes whose schema types have write access.

On the Synchronization server page, select the synchronization server to run the synchronization.

If the synchronization server is not declared as a Job server for this target system in the One Identity Manager database yet, you can add a new Job server.
1. Click to add a new Job server.
