Customizing data synchronization for custom target systems
You can make special adjustments for synchronizing data between the One Identity Manager database and target system environment. The following information is displayed for a data synchronization:
Table 23: Data synchronization main data
|
synchronization server |
Unique server ID. Select the server to handle the processes for the target system from the list. This synchronization server is used, for example, when provisioning is done through synchronization by script. |
|
No write operations |
Use this option to prevent changes to target system objects from the One Identity Manager database being provisioned in the target system. |
Defining categories for inheriting groups and system entitlements
NOTE: The functionality described here for groups applies equally to system entitlements.
In One Identity Manager, user accounts can selectively inherit groups. To do this, groups and user accounts are divided into categories. The categories can be freely selected and are specified using a mapping rule. Each category is given a specific position within the template. The mapping rule contains different tables. Use the user account table to specify categories for target system dependent user accounts. In the group table, enter your categories for the target system-dependent groups. Each table contains the category positions position 1 to position 63.

Switch to the Alternative names tab.
This displays all the default names for the tables and columns.
