Specifying naming attributes for an Oracle Unified Directory connection

Every object in a directory managed by Oracle Unified Directory Server has a naming attribute from which the object name is formed. When you create a connection to the directory, a default naming attribute is selected for each object type in that data system. You can use the Specify Naming Attributes item to view the naming attribute currently selected for each object type in the directory and optionally specify a different naming attribute. The setting has the following options:

  • Default naming attribute: Displays the default naming attribute set for the currently selected object type.

  • Add: Adds a new naming attribute for the selected object type.

  • Edit: Allows you to edit the name of the naming attribute currently specified for the selected object type.

  • Remove: Removes the currently selected entry from the list.

Working with an LDAP directory service

This section describes how to create or modify a connection to an LDAP directory service so that Synchronization Service could work with data in that data system.

To create a connection to an LDAP directory service, you need to use Synchronization Service in conjunction with a special connector called Generic LDAP Connector. This connector is included in the Synchronization Service package.

The Generic LDAP Connector supports the following features:

Table 47: Generic LDAP Connector – Supported features

Feature

Supported

Bidirectional synchronization

Specifies whether you can both read and write data in the connected data system.

Yes

Delta processing mode

Specifies whether the connection can process only the data that has changed in the connected data system since the last synchronization operation. This reduces the overall synchronization duration.

No

Password synchronization

Specifies whether you can synchronize user passwords from an Active Directory (AD) domain to the connected data system.

Yes

Creating an LDAP directory service connection

To create a new connection

  1. In the Synchronization Service Console, open the Connections tab.
  2. Click Add connection, then use the following options:
    • Connection name: Type a descriptive name for the connection.

    • Use the specified connector: Select Generic LDAP Connector.

  3. Click Next.

  4. On the Specify connection settings page, use the following options:

    • Server: Type the fully qualified domain name of the computer running an LDAP directory service to which you want to connect.

    • Port: Type the number of the communication port used by the LDAP server to which you want to connect.

    • Use TLS/SSL: Allows you to use the TLS (SSL) encryption to establish and maintain the connection.

    • Use connectionless LDAP: Enables the use of the connectionless LDAP (CLDAP) protocol for the connection.

    • User name: Type the user name of the account with which you want to bind.

    • Password: Type the password of the account with which you want to bind.

    • Bind with Synchronization Service account: Allows you to bind with the account under which the Synchronization Service is running.

    • Bind with credentials: Allows you to bind by specifying the credentials of a particular user account.

    • Use simple bind: Allows you to bind either without specifying user account credentials or with a user password only. In the latter case, the password you type is transmitted as clear text.

    • Use custom bind: Allows you to configure a number of advanced settings for binding. Click Configure, and then use the next options.

    • From this Authentication method list, select one of the following methods:

      • Anonymous: Allows you to establish the connection without passing credentials.

      • Basic: Specifies to use basic authentication.

      • Microsoft Negotiate: Specifies to use Microsoft Negotiate authentication.

      • NTLM: Specifies to use Windows NT Challenge/Response authentication.

      • Digest: Specifies to use Digest Access authentication.

      • Sicily: Employs a negotiation mechanism (Sicily) to choose the Microsoft Network Authentication Service, Distributed Password Authentication, or NTLM method.

      • Distributed Password Authentication: Specifies to use DPA authentication.

      • Microsoft Network Authentication Service: Specifies to authenticate with Microsoft Network Authentication Service.

      • External: Specifies to use an external authentication method for the connection.

      • Kerberos: Specifies to use Kerberos authentication.

      You can also use the following check boxes:

      • Use TLS/SSL: Allows you to use the TLS (SSL) encryption to establish and maintain the connection.

      • Switch to TLS/SSL after establishing connection: Establishes the connection without using the TLS (SSL) encryption. Then, after the connection has been established, enables the TLS (SSL) encryption.

      • Verify TLS/SSL certificate: Specifies whether or not to check the TLS (SSL) certificate on the server.

      • Use paged search: Specifies whether or not to use paged search for the connection. When selecting this check box, you can set a page size limit in the text box below.

    • To test the connection with the new parameters, click Test connection.

  5. Click Next.

  6. On the Specify attributes to identify objects page, specify the attributes with which you want to uniquely identify each object in the LDAP directory service.

    You can use the following options:

    • Available attributes: Lists the attributes that are available in the external data system. Use this list to select the attributes whose values you want to use to generate a unique identifier for each object in the external data system. You can filter attributes by typing in the text box at the top of this list. To select multiple attributes, hold down CTRL and click to select attributes in the list.

    • UniqueID attributes: Lists the attributes whose values are currently used to generate a unique identifier for each object in the external data system.

    • Add: Moves the selected attributes from the Available attributes list to the UniqueID attributes list.

    • Remove: Moves the selected attributes from the UniqueID attributes list to the Available attributes list.

    • Constructed UniqueID: Displays a combination of the attributes whose values will make up a unique identifier for each object in the external data system.

  7. Click Finish to create a connection to the LDAP directory service.

Modifying an existing Generic LDAP directory service connection

To modify connection settings

  1. In the Synchronization Service Console, open the Connections tab.

  2. Click Connection settings below the existing generic LDAP connection you want to modify.

  3. On the Connection Settings tab, click an appropriate item to expand it and use the options it provides.

    You can expand the following items:

  4. Click Save.
