LDAP user accounts

You manage user account in LDAP with One Identity Manager. A user can login in to a domain with a user account and receive group memberships and access permissions to network resources.

A user account can be linked to an identity in One Identity Manager. You can also manage user accounts separately from identities.

NOTE: It is recommended to use account definitions to set up user accounts for company identities. In this case, some of the main data described in the following is mapped through templates from identity main data.

NOTE: If identities are to obtain their user accounts through account definitions, the identities must own a central user account and obtain their IT operating data through assignment to a primary department, a primary location, or a primary cost center.

General main data of LDAP user accounts

Enter the following general main data.

Table 26: Additional main data of a user account
Property Description

Identity

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 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 user account, it might be locked or deleted depending on the configuration.

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.

No link to an identity required

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.

Not linked to an identity

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

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.

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

NOTE: Use the user account's Remove account definition task to reset the user account to Linked status. This removes the account definition from both the user account and the identity. The user account remains but is not managed by the account definition anymore. The task only removes account definitions that are directly assigned (XOrigin=1).

Manage level

 Manage level of the user account. 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.

Domain

Domain in which the user account is created.

Structural object class Structural object class representing the object type. By default, user accounts in One Identity Manager are added with the INETORGPERSON object class.

Container

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.

Object class

 List of classes defining the attributes for this object. By default, user accounts in One Identity Manager are added with the INETORGPERSON object class. However, in the input field, you can add object classes and auxiliary classes that are used by other LDAP and X.500 directory services.

Name

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

Display name

User account display name. The display name is made up of the first and last names.

Distinguished name

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

Object SID (AD)

The object's security ID (SID) in Active Directory.

First name

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.

Last name

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.

Initials

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

Job description

Job description. If you have assigned an account definition, the input field is automatically filled out with respect to the manage level.

Login name

Login name. If you assigned an account definition, the login name is made up of the identity’s central user account depending on the manage level.

Password

Password for the user account. The identity’s central password can be mapped to the user account password. For more information about an identity’s central password, see One Identity Manager Identity Management Base Module Administration Guide.

If you use a random generated initial password for the user accounts, it is automatically entered when a user account is created.

The password is deleted from the database after publishing to the target system.

NOTE: One Identity Manager password policies are taken into account when a user password is being verified. Ensure that the password policy does not violate the target system's requirements.

Password confirmation

Reconfirm password.

Risk index (calculated)

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.

Account expiry date

Account expiry date. Specifying an expiry data for the account has the effect that the logon for this user account is blocked 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.

Category

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 menu.

Description

Text field for additional explanation.

Identity type

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.

Privileged user account.

Specifies whether this is a privileged user account.

Groups can be inherited

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.

User account is disabled

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 disabled" option.
