Assigning account definitions to Unix hosts

The following prerequisites must be fulfilled if you implement automatic assignment of user accounts and identities 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 identity (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 host in the Unix > Hosts category.

  2. Select the Change main data task.

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

  4. Save the changes.

    5. Click OK.

      The account definition is removed from all shelves by the One Identity Manager Service. At the same time, any requests and assignment requests with this account definition are canceled.

    To remove an account definition from all IT Shop shelves (non role-based login)

    1. In the Manager, select the Unix > Basic configuration data > Account definitions > Account definitions category.

    2. Select an account definition in the result list.

    3. Select the Remove from all shelves (IT Shop) task.

    4. Confirm the security prompt with Yes.

    5. Click OK.

      The account definition is removed from all shelves by the One Identity Manager Service. At the same time, any requests and assignment requests with this account definition are canceled.

  6. Remove the required account definition assignment. As long as the account definition is required for another account definition, it cannot be deleted. Check all the account definitions.

    1. In the Manager, select the Unix > Basic configuration data > Account definitions > Account definitions category.

    2. Select an account definition in the result list.

    3. Select the Change main data task.

    4. From the Required account definition menu, remove the account definition.

    5. Save the changes.

  7. Remove the account definition's assignments to target systems.

    1. In the Manager, select the host in the Unix > Hosts category.

    2. Select the Change main data task.

    3. On the General tab, remove the assigned account definitions.

    4. Save the changes.

  8. Delete the account definition.

    1. In the Manager, select the Unix > Basic configuration data > Account definitions > Account definitions category.

    2. Select an account definition in the result list.

    3. Click to delete an account definition.

Assigning identities automatically to Unix user accounts

When you add a user account, an existing identity can automatically be assigned to it. If necessary, a new identity can be created. The identity 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.

Define criteria for finding identities to apply to automatic identity assignment. If a user account is linked to an identity 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 identities 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 identity assignments to user accounts remain intact.

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

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

Run the following tasks to assign identities automatically.

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

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

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

    Example:

    ROOT

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

    ClosedEditing the excluded list

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

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

  • Define the search criteria for identities assigned to the host.

NOTE:

The following applies for synchronization:

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

The following applies outside synchronization:

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

NOTE:

In the default installation, after synchronizing, identities are automatically created for the user accounts. If an account definition for the host is not known at the time of synchronization, user accounts are linked with identities. 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.

For more information, see Managing Unix user accounts through account definitions.

Editing search criteria for automatic identity assignment

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

The criteria for identity assignments are defined for the host. You specify which user account properties must match the identity’s properties such that the identity 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 identity assignment column (AccountToPersonMatchingRule) in the UNXHost table.

Search criteria are evaluated when identities are automatically assigned to user accounts. Furthermore, you can create a suggestion list for assignments of identities 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 identity assignment

  1. In the Manager, select the Unix > Hosts category.

  2. Select the host in the result list.

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

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

    Table 9: Search criteria for user accounts
    Apply to Identity column Column for user account

    Unix user accounts

    Central user account (CentralAccount)

    User name (AccountName)

  5. Save the changes.

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