The security ID (SID) is used in One Identity Manager to identify user accounts and groups from other domains. This is required, amongst other things, for synchronizing group memberships of two domains. Furthermore, the SID is used to find access permission at file system level.
Example
Domain A is synchronized with One Identity Manager. Domain B is not synchronized at first. The domains are in a trust relationship. There are user accounts of domain A and domain B in groups of domain A.
Group memberships are identified when domain A is synchronized. User accounts from domain A are assigned based on their identifier. The SIDs are found for user accounts from domain B and entered in One Identity Manager.
If Active Directory domain B is synchronized at later, the user accounts are identified based on their SIDs and the user accounts are assigned directly to the groups in domain B. The SID is removed from One Identity Manager database.
To display security IDs
NOTE: When you delete an Active Directory object, a SID entry is created in One Identity Manager.
All shared printers of a domain are read into One Identity Manager during synchronization.
