The following data is relevant for managing SharePoint in One Identity Manager.
- Configuration parameter
Use configuration parameters to configure the behavior of the system's basic settings. One Identity Manager provides default settings for different configuration parameters. Check the configuration parameters and modify them as necessary to suit your requirements.
Configuration parameters are defined in the One Identity Manager modules. Each One Identity Manager module can also install configuration parameters. In the Designer, you can find an overview of all configuration parameters in the Base data | General | Configuration parameters category.
For more information, see Configuration parameters for managing a SharePoint environment.
- Account definitions
One Identity Manager has account definitions for automatically allocating user accounts to employees during working hours. You can create account definitions for every target system. If an employee does not yet have a user account in a target system, a new user account is created. This is done by assigning account definitions to an employee.
For more information, see Setting up account definitions.
- Authentication Modes
One Identity Manager supports claims-based authentication as well as classical Windows authentication for logging in to the SharePoint server. The authentication mode to use is defined for the web application and for the user accounts. Usable authentication modes are maintained in the One Identity Manager database.
For more information, see Authentication modes.
- Prefixes
Prefixes are URLs relative to a web application that can be stored under a site collection.
For more information, see Prefixes.
- Zones and alternative URLs
All the zones that you can configure for a web application are stored in the One Identity Manager database.
For more information, see Zones and alternative URLs.
- Site templates
Use site templates to add sites.
For more information, see SharePoint site templates.
- Permissions
User permissions for a SharePoint site or a web application are authorized by SharePoint permissions. Permissions are grouped into permission levels and permission policies.
For more information, see SharePoint permissions.
- Target system types
Target system types are required for configuring target system comparisons. Tables containing outstanding objects are maintained on target system types.
For more information, see Post-processing outstanding objects.
- Server
In order to handle SharePoint -specific processes in One Identity Manager, the synchronization server and its server functions must be declared.
For more information, see Editing a server.
- Target system managers
A default application role exists for the target system manager in One Identity Manager. Assign the employees who are authorized to edit all SharePoint farms in One Identity Manager to this application role.
Define additional application roles if you want to limit the edit permissions for target system managers to individual SharePoint farms. The application roles must be added under the default application role.
For more information, see Target system managers.
One Identity Manager supports claims-based authentication as well as classical Windows authentication for logging in to the SharePoint server. The authentication mode to use is defined for the web application and for the user accounts. Usable authentication modes are maintained in the One Identity Manager database. One Identity Manager supplies the default authentication systems "Windows (Claims)" (=claims-based Windows authentication) and "Windows Classic Mode" (=classic Window authentication). If you use other authentication systems in your SharePoint environment, add them separately in the One Identity Manager. This makes it possible to assign user accounts to authentication modes. Enter the user and group prefix data. This is required to add new SharePoint user accounts in One Identity Manager.
