Assigning account definitions to Active Directory domains

The following prerequisites must be fulfilled if you implement automatic assignment of user accounts and employees resulting in administered user accounts (Linked configured state):

  • The account definition is assigned to the target system.

  • The account definition has the default manage level.

User accounts are only linked to the employee (Linked state) if no account definition is given. This is the case on initial synchronization, for example.

To assign the account definition to a target system

  1. In the Manager, select the domain in the Active Directory > Domains category.

  2. Select the Change main data task.

  3. From the Account definition (initial) menu, select the account definition for user accounts.

  4. From the Contact definition (initial) menu, select the account definition for contacts.

  5. From the Mail contact definition (initial) menu, select the account definition for mail contacts.

  6. From the Mail user definition (initial) menu, select the account definition for mail users.

  7. Save the changes.

Assigning employees automatically to Active Directory user accounts

When you add a user account, an existing employee can automatically be assigned to it. If necessary, a new employee can be created. The identity's main data is created on the basis of existing user account main data. This mechanism can be triggered after a new user account is created either manually or through synchronization.After synchronization, identities are automatically assigned to all new user accounts. If no matching identity can be found, a new identity is created using existing user main data.

Define criteria for finding employees to apply to automatic employee assignment. If a user account is linked to an employee through the current mode, the user account is given, through an internal process, the default manage level of the account definition entered in the user account's target system. You can customize user account properties depending on how the behavior of the manage level is defined.

If you run this procedure during working hours, automatic assignment of employees to user accounts takes place from that moment onwards. If you disable the procedure again later, the changes only affect user accounts added or updated after this point in time. Existing employee assignments to user accounts remain intact.

NOTE: It is not recommended to assign employees using automatic employee assignment in the case of administrative user accounts. Use Change main data to assign employees to administrative user accounts for the respective user account.

For more information about assigning employees automatically, see the One Identity Manager Target System Base Module Administration Guide.

Run the following tasks to assign employees automatically.

  • If you want employees to be assigned during the synchronization of user accounts, in the Designer, set the TargetSystem | ADS | PersonAutoFullsync configuration parameter and select the required mode.

  • If you want employees to be assigned outside synchronization, in the Designer, set the TargetSystem | ADS | PersonAutoDefault configuration parameter and select the required mode.

  • In the TargetSystem | ADS | PersonExcludeList configuration parameter, define the user accounts for which no automatic assignment to employees shall take place.

    Example:

    ADMINISTRATOR|GUEST|KRBTGT|TSINTERNETUSER|IUSR_.*|IWAM_.*|SUPPORT_.*|.* | $

    TIP: You can edit the value of the configuration parameter in the Exclude list for automatic employee assignment dialog.

    ClosedEditing the excluded list

  • Use the TargetSystem | ADS | PersonAutoDisabledAccounts configuration parameter to specify whether employees can be automatically assigned to disabled user accounts. User accounts do not obtain an account definition.

  • Assign an account definition to the domain. Ensure that the manage level to be used is entered as the default manage level.

  • Define the search criteria for employees assigned to the domain.

NOTE:

The following applies for synchronization:

  • Automatic employee assignment takes effect if user accounts are added or updated.

The following applies outside synchronization:

  • Automatic employee assignment takes effect if user accounts are added.

NOTE:

In the default installation, after synchronizing, employees are automatically created for the user accounts. If an account definition for the domain is not known at the time of synchronization, user accounts are linked with employees. However, account definitions are not assigned. The user accounts are therefore in a Linked state.

To manage the user accounts using account definitions, assign an account definition and a manage level to these user accounts.

Editing search criteria for automatic employee assignment

NOTE: One Identity Manager supplies a default mapping for employee assignment. Only carry out the following steps when you want to customize the default mapping.

The criteria for employee assignments are defined for the domain. You specify which user account properties must match the employee’s properties such that the employee can be assigned to the user account. You can limit search criteria further by using format definitions.

The search criterion is written in XML notation to the Search criteria for automatic employee assignment column (AccountToPersonMatchingRule) in the ADSDomain table.

Search criteria are evaluated when employees are automatically assigned to user accounts. Furthermore, you can create a suggestion list for assignments of employees to user accounts based on the search criteria and make the assignment directly.

NOTE: Object definitions for user accounts that can have search criteria applied to them are predefined. For example, if you require other objects definitions that limit a preselection of user accounts, set up the respective custom object definitions in the Designer. For more information, see the One Identity Manager Configuration Guide.

To specify criteria for employee assignment

  1. In the Manager, select the Active Directory > Domains category.

  2. Select the domain in the result list.

  3. Select the Define search criteria for employee assignment task.

  4. Specify which user account properties must match with which employee so that the employee is linked to the user account.

    Table 11: Default search criteria for user accounts and contacts
    Apply to Column for employee Column for user account/contact

    Active Directory user accounts

    Central user account (CentralAccount)

    Login name (pre Win2000)(SAMAccountName)

    Active Directory contacts

    Central user account (CentralAccount)

    Name (Cn)

  5. Save the changes.

For more information about defining search criteria, see the One Identity Manager Target System Base Module Administration Guide.
