To manage an LDAP environment in One Identity Manager, the following basic data is relevant.
-
Account definitions
One Identity Manager has account definitions for automatically allocating user accounts to identities. You can create account definitions for every target system. If an identity 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 identity.
For more information, see Account definitions for LDAP user accounts.
-
Password policies
provides you with support for creating complex password policies, for example, for system user passwords, the identities' central password as well as passwords for individual target systems. Password polices apply not only when the user enters a password but also when random passwords are generated.
Predefined password policies are supplied with the default installation that you can use or customize if required. You can also define your own password policies.
For more information, see Password policies for LDAP user accounts.
-
Target system types
Target system types are required for configuring target system comparisons. Tables with outstanding objects are maintained with the target system types and settings are configured for provisioning memberships and single objects synchronization. Target system types also map objects in the Unified Namespace.
For more information, see Post-processing outstanding objects.
-
Target system managers
A default application role exists for the target system manager in One Identity Manager. Assign identities to this application role who have permission to edit all domains in One Identity Manager.
Define additional application roles if you want to limit the permissions for target system managers to individual domains. The application roles must be added under the default application role.
For more information, see Target system managers for LDAP.
-
Servers
In order to handle target system specific processes in One Identity Manager, the synchronization server and its server functionality must be declared.
For more information, see Job server for LDAP-specific process handling.

For more information about implementing and editing application roles, see the One Identity Manager Authorization and Authentication Guide.
Implementing application roles for target system managers
-
The One Identity Manager administrator allocates identities to be target system administrators.
-
These target system administrators add identities to the default application role for target system managers.
Target system managers with the default application role are authorized to edit all the domains in One Identity Manager.
-
Target system managers can authorize other identities within their area of responsibility as target system managers and if necessary, create additional child application roles and assign these to individual domains.
Table 36: Default application roles for target system managers
|
Target system managers
|
Target system managers must be assigned to the Target systems | LDAP or a child application role.
Users with this application role:
-
Assume administrative tasks for the target system.
-
Create, change, or delete target system objects.
-
Edit password policies for the target system.
-
Prepare groups to add to the IT Shop.
-
Can add identities that do not have the Primary identity identity type.
-
Configure synchronization in the Synchronization Editor and define the mapping for comparing target systems and One Identity Manager.
-
Edit the synchronization's target system types and outstanding objects.
-
Authorize other identities within their area of responsibility as target system managers and create child application roles if required. |
To initially specify identities to be target system administrators
-
Log in to the Manager as a One Identity Manager administrator (Base role | Administrators application role)
-
Select the One Identity Manager Administration > Target systems > Administrators category.
-
Select the Assign identities task.
-
Assign the identity and save the changes.
To add the first identities to the default application as target system managers
-
Log in to the Manager as a target system administrator (Target systems | Administrators application role).
-
Select the One Identity Manager Administration > Target systems > LDAP category.
-
Select the Assign identities task.
-
Assign the identities you want and save the changes.
To authorize other identities as target system managers when you are a target system manager
-
Log in to the Manager as a target system manager.
-
Select the application role in the LDAP > Basic configuration data > Target system managers category.
-
Select the Assign identities task.
-
Assign the identities you want and save the changes.
To specify target system managers for individual domains
-
Log in to the Manager as a target system manager.
-
Select the LDAP > Domains category.
-
Select the domain in the result list.
-
Select the Change main data task.
-
On the General tab, select the application role in the Target system manager menu.
- OR -
Next to the Target system manager menu, click 
to create a new application role.
-
Enter the application role name and assign the Target systems | LDAP parent application role.
-
Click OK to add the new application role.
- Save the changes.
-
Assign identities to this application role who are permitted to edit the domain in One Identity Manager.
NOTE: You can also specify target system managers for individual containers. Target system managers for a container are authorized to edit objects in this container.

In order to handle target system specific processes in One Identity Manager, the synchronization server and its server functionality must be declared. You have several options for defining a server's functionality:
-
In the Designer, create an entry for the Job server in the Base Data > Installation > Job server category. For more information about this, see the One Identity Manager Configuration Guide.
-
In the Manager, select an entry for the Job server in the LDAP > Basic configuration data > Server category and edit the Job server's main data.
Use this task if the Job server has already been declared in One Identity Manager and you want to configure special functions for the Job server.
NOTE: One Identity Manager must be installed, configured, and started in order for a server to perform its function in the One Identity Manager Service network. Proceed as described in the One Identity Manager Installation Guide.
