Scenarios of use
This section provides some use case scenarios that help you familiarize yourself with . The scenarios illustrate how to create and run sync workflows and their steps to update and create user information from a Human Resources (HR) database represented by a delimited text file to an Active Directory domain.
The scenarios are:
-
Scenario: Creating users from a .csv file to an Active Directory domain. In this scenario, creates user accounts from a Comma Separated Values (.csv) file that includes a HR database to individual Organizational Units in an Active Directory domain, depending on the city where each user is based.
-
Scenario: Using a .csv file to update user accounts in an Active Directory domain. In this scenario, updates user accounts in an Active Directory domain based on the changes made to the HR database saved in a Comma Separated Values (.csv) file.
-
Scenario: Synchronizing data between One Identity Manager Custom Target Systems and an Active Directory domain. In this scenario, Quick Connect updates data in One Identity Manager based on the changes made in Active Directory domain.
-
Scenario: Deprovisioning between One Identity Manager Custom Target Systems and an Active Directory domain. In this scenario, Quick connect deprovisioning synchronized objects in One Identity Manager processed from the Active Directory domain.
-
Scenario: Provisioning of Groups between One Identity Manager Custom Target Systems and an Active Directory domain. In this scenario, Quick Connect provisions group objects to be synchronized to One Identity Manager from Active Directory domain.
-
Scenario: Enabling Delta Sync mode between One Identity Manager Custom Target Systems and an Active Directory domain. In this scenario, Quick Connect updates data in One Identity Manager based on the changes made in Active Directory domain in the delta sync mode.
Before you proceed with these sample scenarios, perform the following steps:
-
Make sure you have properly configured the connection to the target Active Directory domain in the .
-
Create the Employees Organizational Unit (OU) at the root of the target Active Directory domain.
-
In the Employees OU, create the following OUs:
-
New York
-
Tokyo
-
Amsterdam
-
OtherCities
Scenario: Create users from a .csv file to an Active Directory domain
Scenarios of use > Scenario: Create users from a .csv file to an Active Directory domain
The following scenario demonstrates how to create user accounts from a Human Resources (HR) database to an Active Directory domain. The HR database is represented by a sample Comma Separated Values (.csv) file. Depending on the user city, accounts will be created in one of the following OUs:
-
Employees\New York
-
Employees\Tokyo
-
Employees\Amsterdam
-
Employees\OtherCities
TIP: You can use the Active Directory Users and Computers tool to ensure that has created user accounts in the Employees OU. The New York, Tokyo, Amsterdam, and OtherCities OUs may include some disabled user accounts created by .
