The following base data is relevant for managing a Unix-based target system in One Identity Manager.
-
Account definitions
One Identity Manager has account definitions for automatically allocating user accounts to employees. You can create account definitions for every target system. If an employee does not yet have a user account in a target system, a new user account is created. This is done by assigning account definitions to an employee.
For more information, see Account definitions for Unix user accounts.
-
Password policy
provides you with support for creating complex password policies, for example, for system user passwords, the employees' central password as well as passwords for individual target systems. Password polices apply not only when the user enters a password but also when random passwords are generated.
Predefined password policies are supplied with the default installation that you can use or customize if required. You can also define your own password policies.
For more information, see Password policies for Unix user accounts.
-
Initial password for new user accounts
You have the different options for issuing an initial password for user accounts. Enter a password or use a random generated initial password when you create a user account.
For more information, see Initial password for new Unix user accounts.
-
Email notifications about credentials
When a new user account is created, the login data are sent to a specified recipient. In this case, two messages are sent with the user name and the initial password. Mail templates are used to generate the messages.
For more information, see Email notifications about login data.
-
Target system types
Target system types are required for configuring target system comparisons. Tables with outstanding objects are maintained with the target system types and settings are configured for provisioning memberships and single objects synchronization. Target system types also map objects in the Unified Namespace.
For more information, see Post-processing outstanding objects.
-
Target system managers
A default application role exists for the target system manager in One Identity Manager. Assign employees to this application role who have permission to edit all Unix hosts in One Identity Manager.
Define additional application roles if you want to limit the permissions for target system managers to individual Unix hosts. The application roles must be added under the default application role.
For more information, see Target system managers.
-
Servers
Servers must be informed of your server functionality in order to handle Unix-specific processes in One Identity Manager. For example, the synchronization server.
For more information, see Job server for Unix-specific process handling.
A default application role exists for the target system manager in One Identity Manager. Assign employees to this application role who have permission to edit all Unix hosts in One Identity Manager.
Define additional application roles if you want to limit the permissions for target system managers to individual Unix hosts. The application roles must be added under the default application role.
For more information about implementing and editing application roles, see the One Identity Manager Authorization and Authentication Guide.
Implementing application roles for target system managers
-
The One Identity Manager administrator allocates employees to be target system administrators.
-
These target system administrators add employees to the default application role for target system managers.
Target system managers with the default application role are authorized to edit all the Unix hosts in One Identity Manager.
-
Target system managers can authorize other employees within their area of responsibility as target system managers and if necessary, create additional child application roles and assign these to individual Unix hosts.
Table 30: Default application roles for target system managers
|
Target system managers
|
Target system managers must be assigned to the Target systems | Unix application role or a child application role.
Users with this application role:
-
Assume administrative tasks for the target system.
-
Create, change, or delete target system objects.
-
Edit password policies for the target system.
-
Prepare groups to add to the IT Shop.
-
Can add employees who have another identity than the Primary identity.
-
Configure synchronization in the Synchronization Editor and define the mapping for comparing target systems and One Identity Manager.
-
Edit the synchronization's target system types and outstanding objects.
-
Authorize other employees within their area of responsibility as target system managers and create child application roles if required. |

Servers must be informed of your server functionality in order to handle Unix-specific processes in One Identity Manager. For example, the synchronization server.
You have several options for defining a server's functionality:
-
In the Designer, create an entry for the Job server in the Base Data > Installation > Job server category. For more information about this, see the One Identity Manager Configuration Guide.
-
In the Manager, select an entry for the Job server in the Unix > Basic configuration data > Server category and edit the Job server main data.
Use this task if the Job server has already been declared in One Identity Manager and you want to configure special functions for the Job server.
NOTE: One Identity Manager must be installed, configured, and started in order for a server to perform its function in the One Identity Manager Service network. Proceed as described in the One Identity Manager Installation Guide.
To edit a Job server and its functions
-
In the Manager, select the Unix > Basic configuration data > Server category.
-
Select the Job server entry in the result list.
-
Select the Change main data task.
-
Edit the Job server's main data.
-
Select the Assign server functions task and specify server functionality.
- Save the changes.
Detailed information about this topic
NOTE: All editing options are also available in the Designer under Base Data > Installation > Job server.
NOTE: More properties may be available depending on which modules are installed.
Table 31: Job server properties
|
Server |
Job server name. |
|
Full server name |
Full server name in accordance with DNS syntax.
Syntax:
<Name of server>.<Fully qualified domain name> |
|
Target system |
Computer account target system. |
|
Language |
Language of the server. |
|
Server is cluster |
Specifies whether the server maps a cluster. |
|
Server belongs to cluster |
Cluster to which the server belongs.
NOTE: The Server is cluster and Server belongs to cluster properties are mutually exclusive. |
|
IP address (IPv6) |
Internet protocol version 6 (IPv6) server address. |
|
IP address (IPv4) |
Internet protocol version 4 (IPv4) server address. |
|
Copy process (source server) |
Permitted copying methods that can be used when this server is the source of a copy action. At present, only copy methods that support the Robocopy and rsync programs are supported.
If no method is given, the One Identity Manager Service determines the operating system of the server during runtime. Replication is then performed with the Robocopy program between servers with a Windows operating system or with the rsync program between servers with a Linux operating system. If the operating systems of the source and destination servers differ, it is important that the right copy method is applied for successful replication. A copy method is chosen that supports both servers. |
|
Coding |
Character set coding that is used to write files to the server. |
|
Parent Job server |
Name of the parent Job server. |
|
Executing server |
Name of the implementing server. The name of the server that exists physically and where the processes are handled.
This input is evaluated when the One Identity Manager Service is automatically updated. If the server is handling several queues, the process steps are not supplied until all the queues that are being processed on the same server have completed their automatic update. |
|
Queue |
Name of the queue to handle the process steps. The process steps are requested by the Job queue using this queue identifier. The queue identifier is entered in the One Identity Manager Service configuration file. |
|
Server operating system |
Operating system of the server. This input is required to resolve the path name for replicating software profiles. The values Win32, Windows, Linux, and Unix are permitted. If no value is specified, Win32 is used. |
|
Service account data |
One Identity Manager Service user account information. In order to replicate between non-trusted systems (non-trusted domains, Linux server), the One Identity Manager Service user information has to be declared for the servers in the database. This means that the service account, the service account domain, and the service account password have to be entered for the server. |
|
One Identity Manager Service installed |
Specifies whether a One Identity Manager Service is installed on this server. This option is enabled by the QBM_PJobQueueLoad procedure the moment the queue is called for the first time.
The option is not automatically removed. If necessary, you can reset this option manually for servers whose queue is no longer enabled. |
|
Stop One Identity Manager Service |
Specifies whether the One Identity Manager Service has stopped. If this option is set for the Job server, the One Identity Manager Service does not process any more tasks.
You can make the service start and stop with the appropriate administrative permissions in the Job Queue Info program. For more information, see the One Identity Manager Process Monitoring and Troubleshooting Guide. |
|
Paused due to unavailability of a target system |
Specifies whether task processing for this queue has been stopped because the target system that uses this Job server as a synchronization server is temporarily unavailable. As soon as the target system is available again, processing starts and all outstanding tasks are performed.
For more information about offline mode, see the One Identity Manager Target System Synchronization Reference Guide. |
|
No automatic software update |
Specifies whether to exclude the server from automatic software updating.
NOTE: Servers must be manually updated if this option is set. |
|
Software update running |
Specifies whether a software update is currently running. |
