Deleting and restoring Microsoft Exchange mail users

NOTE: As long as an account definition for an identity is valid, the identity retains the mail user that was created by it. If the account definition assignment is removed, the mail user created through this account definition, is deleted.

When you delete a mail user, the Do not display in address lists option is enabled and the mail user is no longer shown in address books.

To delete a mail user

  1. In the Manager, select the Active Directory > Mail user category.

  2. Select the mail user in the result list.

  3. Click in the result list.

  4. Confirm the security prompt with Yes.

To restore a mail user

  1. In the Manager, select the Active Directory > Mail user category.

  2. Select the mail user in the result list.

  3. Click in the result list.

Configuring deferred deletion

By default, mail users are finally deleted from the database after 30 days. During this period you have the option to reactivate the mail users. A restore is not possible once deferred deletion has expired.

In the Designer, you can set an alternative delay on the EX0MailUser table. For more information about configuring deferred deletion, see the One Identity Manager Configuration Guide.

Creating Microsoft Exchange mail contacts

Enter mail contacts for Active Directory contacts.

NOTE: It is recommended to use account definitions to set up mail contacts for company identities.

  • In order to create mail contacts through account definitions, identities must have a default email address and obtain their company IT data through assignment to a primary department, primary location or a primary cost center.

  • Some of the main data of the mail contacts is mapped from identity main data using templates.

To create a mail contact

  1. In the Manager, select the Active Directory > Mail contacts category.

Table 37: General data of a mail contact
Property Description

Identity

Identity to use the mail contact.

  • An identity is already entered if the mail contact was generated by an account definition.

  • If you create the mail contact manually, you can select an identity from the menu.

    The menu displays activated and deactivated identities by default. If you do not want to see any deactivated identities, set the QER | Person| HideDeactivatedIdentities configuration parameter.

NOTE: If you assign a deactivated identity to a mail contact, the mail contact might be locked or deleted depending on the configuration.

No link to an identity required

Specifies whether the contact is intentionally not assigned an identity. The option is automatically set if a contact is included in the exclusion list for automatic identity assignment or a corresponding attestation is carried out. You can set the option manually. Enable the option if the contact does not need to be linked with an identity (for example, if several identities use the contact).

If attestation approves these contacts, these contacts will not be submitted for attestation in the future. In the Web Portal, contact that are not linked to an identity can be filtered according to various criteria.

Not linked to an identity

Indicates why the No link to an identity required option is enabled for this contact. Possible values:

  • By administrator: The option was set manually by the administrator.

  • By attestation: The contact was attested.

  • By exclusion criterion: The contact is not associated with an identity due to an exclusion criterion. For example, the contact is included in the exclude list for automatic identity assignment (configuration parameter PersonExcludeList).

Account definition

Account definition through which the mail contact was created.

Use the account definition to automatically populate mail contact main data and to specify a manage level for the mail contact. One Identity Manager finds the IT operating data of the assigned identity and uses it to populate the corresponding fields in the mail contact.

NOTE: The account definition cannot be changed once the mail contact has been saved.

Manage level

Manage level with which the mail contact is created. Select a manage level from the menu. You can only specify the manage level can if you have also entered an account definition. All manage levels of the selected account definition are available in the menu.
