Identity Manager 9.3 - Administration Guide for Connecting to Active Directory

Identity that uses this user account.

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

• If you are using automatic identity assignment, an associated identity is found and added to the user account when you save the user account.

• If you create the user account manually, you can select an identity in the drop-down.

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

You can create a new identity for a user account with an identity of type Organizational identity, Personalized administrator identity, Sponsored identity, Shared identity, or Service identity. To do this, click next to the input field and enter the required identity main data. Which login data is required depends on the selected identity type.

Specifies whether the user account is intentionally not assigned an identity. The option is automatically set if a user account 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 user account does not need to be linked with an identity (for example, if several identities use the user account).

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

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

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

• By attestation: The user account was attested.

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

Account definition through which the user account was created.

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

Manage level of the user account. Select a manage level from the drop-down. 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 drop-down.

The user’s first name. If you have assigned an account definition, the input field is automatically filled out with respect to the manage level.

User's middle name. If you have assigned an account definition, the input field is automatically filled out with respect to the manage level.

The user’s last name. If you have assigned an account definition, the input field is automatically filled out with respect to the manage level.

The user’s initials. If you have assigned an account definition, the input field is automatically filled out with respect to the manage level.

The user’s academic title. If you have assigned an account definition, the input field is automatically filled out with respect to the manage level.

User account identifier. The identifier is made up of the user’s first and last names.

User account's distinguished name. The distinguished name is formatted from the user account's identifier and the container and cannot be changed.

Domain in which the user account is created.

Container in which to create the user account. If you have assigned an account definition, the container is determined from the company IT data for the assigned identity depending on the manage level of the user account. When the container is selected, the defined name for the user is created using a formatting rule.

User account's primary group. Synchronization with the Active Directory environment assigns the user account to the Domain Users group by default. Only groups that are assigned to the user account are available as primary groups.

Login name for the previous version of Active Directory. If you assigned an account definition, the login name (pre Win2000) is made up of the identity’s central user account depending on the manage level of the user account.

User account login name. User login names that are formatted like this correspond to the User Principal Name (UPN) in Active Directory.

If you have already established the container and entered the login name (pre Win2000), the user login name is created following the formatting rule as shown:

User account email address. If you assigned an account definition, the email address is made up of the identity’s default email address depending on the manage level of the user account.

Other email addresses for the user account.

Account expiry date. Specifying an expiry data for the account has the effect that the login for this user account is locked as soon as the given date is exceeded. If you assigned an account definition, the identity’s last day of work it is automatically taken as the expiry date depending on the manage level. Any existing account expiry date is overwritten in this case.

Structural object class representing the object type. Possible values:

• USER: Default object class for user accounts.

• INETORGPERSON : Object class used by other LDAP and X.500 directory services for mapping user accounts.

• POSIXACCOUNT: Object class for user accounts with additional POSIX (Portable Operating System Interface) properties.

Maximum risk index value of all assigned groups. The property is only visible if the QER | CalculateRiskIndex configuration parameter is set. For more information, see the One Identity Manager Risk Assessment Administration Guide.

Categories for the inheritance of groups by the user account. Groups can be selectively inherited by user accounts. To do this, groups and user accounts or contacts are divided into categories. Select one or more categories from the drop-down.

Text field for additional explanation.

User account's identity type Permitted values are:

• Primary identity: Identity's default user account.

• Organizational identity: Secondary user account used for different roles in the organization, for example for subcontracts with other functional areas.

• Personalized administrator identity: User account with administrative permissions, used by one identity.

• Sponsored identity: User account to use for a specific purpose. Training, for example.

• Shared identity: User account with administrative permissions, used by several identities. Assign all identities that use this user account.

• Service identity: Service account.

Specifies whether this is a privileged user account.

Specifies whether the user account can inherit groups through the linked identity. If the option is set, the user account inherits groups through hierarchical roles, in which the identity is a member, or through IT Shop requests.

• If you add an identity with a user account to a department, for example, and you have assigned groups to this department, the user account inherits these groups.

• If an identity has requested group membership in the IT Shop and the request is granted approval, the identity's user account only inherits the group if the option is set.

Preferred user account when an identity has several user accounts in Active Directory.

Specifies whether the user account is disabled. If a user account is not required for a period of time, you can temporarily disable the user account by using the <User account is deactivated> option.

Specifies whether the user account is locked. Depending on the configuration, the user account in the Active Directory environment is locked after multiple incorrect password attempts. You can lock the user account again in the Manager using the Unlock user account task.

If the user account is linked to an identity, the user account is unlocked when a new central password is set for the identity. This behavior is controlled by the TargetSystem | ADS | Accounts | UnlockByCentralPassword configuration parameter. For more information about an identity’s central password, see One Identity Manager Identity Management Base Module Administration Guide.
