Identity's central password

An identity's central password can be used for logging into the target systems and for logging in to One Identity Manager. Depending on the configuration, an identity's central password is replicated to their user accounts and their system user password.

  • To publish the change in an identity's central user password to all existing user accounts of the identity, check in the Designer if the QER | Person | UseCentralPassword configuration parameter is set. If not, set the configuration parameter.

  • To copy an identity's central password to their system user password for logging in, in the Designer, check if the QER | Person | UseCentralPassword | SyncToSystemPassword configuration parameter is set. If not, set the configuration parameter.

  • If an identity’s system user account has to be unlocked when the central password is provided, use the Designer to check if the QER | Person | UseCentralPassword | SyncToSystemPassword | UnlockByCentralPassword configuration parameter is set. If not, set the configuration parameter.

NOTE:

  • The Password policy for central password of identities password policy is applied to an identity's central password. Ensure that the password policy does not violate the target system's specific password policies.

  • Use the QER | Person | UseCentralPassword | CheckAllPolicies configuration parameter to specify whether the identity’s central password is tested against all the target system’s password policies in which the identity has user accounts. This test is only carried out in the Password Reset Portal.

  • An identity's central password is published to a user account only if the user account's target system is synchronized by the One Identity Manager.

  • If a target system is read-only, an identity's central password is not propagated to user accounts in that target system.

  • An identity's central password is not replicated to privileged user accounts of the identity.

  • If a password cannot be changed due to an error, the identity receives a corresponding email notification.

  • To replicate an identity's central password to a password column of a customer-specific user account table, in the Designer, define a ViewAddOn for the QERVPersonCentralPwdColumn view. The database view returns the password column of the user account tables. The user account table must have a reference to the identity (UID_Person) and a XMarkedForDeletion column. For more information about customizing the One Identity Manager schema, see the One Identity Manager Configuration Guide.

  • If you want to map additional user-specific features, overwrite the QER_Publish_CentralPassword script. For more information about working with scripts, see the One Identity Manager Configuration Guide.

  • The central password, the system user password, and the user account passwords can be changed by using the Password Reset Portal. For more information, see the One Identity Manager Web Designer Web Portal User Guide and the One Identity Manager Web Application Configuration Guide.

Creating and editing identities

In the Manager, you can enter the main data of identities in the Identities category. The identities are filtered according to different criteria.

  • Identities: All activated and temporarily deactivated identities.

  • Inactive identities: All permanently deactivated identities.

  • Locked identities: All identities that are locked due to incorrect password input.

  • Security incidents: All identities that are classified as security threats.

  • Certification: All identities by certification status.

  • Data source: All identities by import data source.

  • Identity: All identities according to their identity type.

NOTE: Identity properties loaded from a target system can only be edited to a limited degree in One Identity Manager. Certain properties are locked because this target system is the primary system. The source from which the main data is imported determines which properties are locked.

Ensure you fill out all compulsory fields when you edit the main data. Certain main data is inherited by the identity user account through templates.

  1. In the Manager, select the Identities > Identities category.

  2. Click in the result list.
