Managing Active Directory objects

You can set up organizational units in a hierarchical container structure in One Identity Manager. Organizational units (divisions or departments) are used to logically organize Active Directory objects like user accounts and groups, thus simplifying administration.

NOTE: In the following, you are provided with details about the special features of managing Active Directory objects using Active Roles. For more information about managing Active Directory with One Identity Manager, see the One Identity Manager Administration Guide for Connecting to Active Directory.

Adding Active Directory groups automatically to the IT Shop

In the One Identity Manager Active Directory Edition there is direct support for transferring Active Roles Self-Service Manager functionality to the One Identity Manager IT Shop.

If you are using the One Identity Manager Edition, run the following steps before initial synchronization.

To add groups automatically to the IT Shop

  1. In the Designer, set the QER | ITShop | GroupAutoPublish configuration parameter.

  2. In the Designer, set the QER | ITShop | GroupAutoPublish | ADSGroupExcludeList configuration parameter and specify the Active Directory groups that are not to be added automatically to the IT Shop.

    Example:

    .*Administrator.*|Exchange.*|.*Admins|.*Operators|IIS_IUSRS

  3. In the Designer, set the TargetSystem | ADS | ARS_SSM configuration parameter

  4. Compile the database.

The groups are added automatically to the IT Shop from now on.

  • Synchronization ensures that the groups are added to the IT Shop. If necessary, you can manually start synchronization with the Synchronization Editor.

  • New groups created in One Identity Manager are added to the IT Shop.

The following steps are run to add a group to the IT Shop.

  1. A service item is determined for the group.

    The service item is tested and modified for each group as required. The service item name corresponds to the name of the group. The service item is assigned to one of the default service categories.

    • The service item is modified for groups with service items.

    • Groups without service items are allocated new service items.

    • The service item is enabled or disabled depending on whether the group is published in Active Roles Self-Service Manager.

  2. An application role for product owners is determined and the service item is assigned. Product owners can approve requests for membership in these groups. By default, the group's account manager is established as product owner.

    NOTE: The application role for the product owner must be added under the Request & Fulfillment | IT Shop | Product owner application role.

    • If the account manager of the group is already a member of an application role for product owners, this application role is assigned to the service item. Therefore, all members of this application role become product owners of the group.

    • If the account manager of the group is not yet a member of an application role for product owners, a new application role is created. The name of the application corresponds to the name of the account manager.

      • If the account manager is a user account or a contact, the user account's employee or the contact's employee is added to the application role.

      • If it is a group of account managers, the employees of all this group's user accounts are added to the application role.

    • If the group does not have an account manager, the Request & Fulfillment | IT Shop | Product owner | Without owner in AD default application role is used.

  3. The group is labeled with the IT Shop option and assigned to the Active Directory groups IT Shop shelf in the Identity & Access Lifecycle shop.

Then the shop customers can request group memberships through the Web Portal.

NOTE: When a One Identity Manager group is irrevocably deleted from the database, the associated service item is also deleted.
