One Identity Manager Connector configuration file
One Identity Manager Connector saves its configuration settings in the configuration file (.xml file) located in the Active Roles installation folder. You can edit the XML elements in the file to configure the various parameters of the One Identity Manager Connector. The table below describes the XML elements you can edit.
Table 39: XML elements
<ExcludeDeletedObjects> |

For example: <ExcludeDeletedObjects>
TRUE
</ExcludeDeletedObjects> |
<PasswordAttributes> |
Specifies the default Identity Manager attribute to be used for storing passwords for objects of a particular type. Specifying an attribute for storing passwords in the Active Roles GUI overrides the value set in this XML element.
For example: <PasswordAttributes>
<PasswordAttributeDefinitions>
<PasswordAttributeDefinition objectType="Person" attribute="CentralPassword" />
</PasswordAttributeDefinitions>
</PasswordAttributes> |
<ReadFullSync> |
Specifies a value of the FullSync variable for Read operations performed in Identity Manager. |
<CreateFullSync> |
Specifies a value of the FullSync variable for Create operations performed in Identity Manager. |
<ModifyFullSync> |
Specifies a value of the FullSync variable for Modify operations performed in Identity Manager. |
<DeleteFullSync> |

Working with a delimited text file
This section describes how to create or modify a connection to a delimited text file so that could work with data in that file.
To create a connection to a delimited text file, you need to use in conjunction with a special connector called Delimited Text File Connector. This connector is included in the package.
The Delimited Text File Connector supports the following features:
Table 40: Delimited Text File Connector – Supported features
Bidirectional synchronization
Specifies whether you can both read and write data in the connected data system. |
No |
Delta processing mode
Specifies whether the connection can process only the data that has changed in the connected data system since the last synchronization operation. This reduces the overall synchronization duration. |
Yes |
Password synchronization
Specifies whether you can synchronize user passwords from an Active Directory (AD) domain to the connected data system. |
No |
