Job server for Active Directory-specific process handling

Servers must be informed of your server functionality in order to handle Active Directory-specific processes in One Identity Manager. These may be the synchronization server, home server, or profile server, for example.

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 Active Directory > Basic configuration data > Server category and edit the Job server main data.

    Use this task if server hardware has already been declared in One Identity Manager and you want to configure special functions for the Job server, home server, or profile server, for example.

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

  1. In the Manager, select the Active Directory > Basic configuration data > Server category.

  2. Select the Job server entry in the result list.

  3. Select the Change main data task.

  4. Edit the Job server's main data.

  5. Select the Assign server functions task and specify server functionality.

  6. Save the changes.
Detailed information about this topic

General main data of Job servers

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 63: Job server properties

Property

Meaning

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.

Local Active Directory DC

You can enter a domain controller that is physically nearby for home servers or profile servers on a member server. The Active Directory is accessed over it when jobs are being processed. If no server is entered the main domain controller for the domain is used.

IP address (IPv6)

Internet protocol version 6 (IPv6) server address.

IP address (IPv4)

Internet protocol version 4 (IPv4) server address.

Max. number of homes

Maximum number of home directories to maintain if the server is a home server. This number is compared with the number of (according to the database) existing home directories on the server (<Homes created>) when a new home directory is added for a user. If this number is less than the given maximum number of directories, the home can be added. Otherwise the addition of a new home directory is forbidden.

Homes created

Number of homes directories already in existing on the home server.

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.

Copy process (target server)

Permitted copying methods that can be used when this server is the destination of a copy action.

Max. home storage space [MB]

Maximum permitted storage in MB for home directories on the home server. This is taken into account when the home directory is allocated.

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.

Server function

Server functionality in One Identity Manager. One Identity Manager processes are handled with respect to the server function.

Preparing a home server and profile server for creating user directories

Home and profile servers are expected when user account home and profile directories are added.

To declare home and profile servers

  • In the Designer, set the TargetSystem | ADS | AutoCreateServers and TargetSystem | ADS | AutoCreateServers | PreferredLanguage configuration parameters.

    If these configuration parameters are set, entries for missing home servers and profile servers are created automatically when user accounts are synchronized.

- OR -

  1. In the Manager, select the Active Directory > Basic configuration data > Server category.

  2. Select the Job server entry in the result list.

  3. Select the Change main data task.

  4. Edit the Job server's main data.

  5. Select the Assign server functions task and specify the Home server and Profile server server functions.

  6. Save the changes.

You may use other settings for create home and profile directories.

  • If you want a user’s home directory to be linked at the time of login, in the Designer, set the QER | Person | User | ConnectHomeDir configuration parameter.

  • To create the user profile in the user’s home directory, in the Designer, set the QER | Person | User | PropertyMapping | ProfileFromHome configuration parameter.

  • You can use a batch file for creating the home directory, the result of which determines whether the home directory is enabled.

  • You can create a template structure on the profile server that is used in the process of creating the profile directory.
