Configuring the provisioning of memberships

Memberships, such as user accounts in groups, are saved in assignment tables in the One Identity Manager database. During provisioning of modified memberships, changes made in the target system may be overwritten. This behavior can occur under the following conditions:

  • Memberships are saved as an object property in list form in the target system.

    Examples: List of user accounts in the members~value property of a cloud group (GROUP) - OR - List of roles in a user's roles~value property User

  • Memberships can be modified in either of the connected systems.

  • A provisioning workflow and provisioning processes are set up.

If one membership in One Identity Manager changes, by default, the complete list of members is transferred to the target system. Therefore, memberships that were previously added to the target system are removed in the process and previously deleted memberships are added again.

To prevent this, provisioning can be configured such that only the modified membership is provisioned in the target system. The corresponding behavior is configured separately for each assignment table.

To allow separate provisioning of memberships

  1. In the Manager, select the Universal Cloud Interface > Basic configuration data > Target system types category.

  2. In the result list, select the SCIM interface target system type.

  3. Select the Configure tables for publishing task.

  4. Select the assignment tables that you want to set up for single provisioning. Multi-select is possible.

  5. Click Merge mode.

    NOTE:

    • This option can only be enabled for assignment tables that have a base table with a XDateSubItem column.

    • Assignment tables that are grouped together in a virtual schema property in the mapping must be marked identically.

  6. Save the changes.

For each assignment table labeled like this, the changes made in One Identity Manager are saved in a separate table. Therefore, only newly added and deleted assignments are processed. During modification provisioning, the members list in the target system is compared to the entries in this table. This means that only modified memberships are provisioned and not the entire members list.

NOTE: The complete members list is updated by synchronization. During this process, objects with changes but incomplete provisioning are not handled. These objects are logged in the synchronization log.

You can restrict single provisioning of memberships with a condition. Once merge mode has been disabled for a table, the condition is deleted. Tables that have had the condition deleted or edited are marked with the following icon: . You can restore the original condition at any time.

To restore the original condition

  1. Select the auxiliary table for which you want to restore the condition.

  2. Right-click on the selected row and select the Restore original values context menu item.

  3. Save the changes.

NOTE: To create the reference to the added or deleted assignments in the condition, use the i table alias.

Example of a condition on the UCIUserInGroup assignment table:

exists (select top 1 1 from UCIGroup g
where g.UID_UCIGroup = i.UID_UCIGroup
and <limiting condition>)

For more information about provisioning memberships, see the One Identity Manager Target System Synchronization Reference Guide.

Configuring single object synchronization

Changes made to individual objects in the target system can be immediately applied in the One Identity Manager database without having to start a full synchronization of the target system environment. Individual objects can only be synchronized if the object is already present in the One Identity Manager database. The changes are applied to the mapped object properties. If a membership list belongs to one of these properties, the entries in the assignment table will also be updated. If the object is no longer present in the target system, then it is deleted from the One Identity Manager database.

Prerequisites

  • A synchronization step exists that can import the changes to the changed object into One Identity Manager.

  • The path to the base object of the synchronization is defined for the table that contains the changed object.

Single object synchronization is fully configured for synchronization projects created using the default project template. If you want to incorporate custom tables into this type of synchronization project, you must configure single object synchronization for these tables. For more information about this, see the One Identity Manager Target System Synchronization Reference Guide.

To define the path to the base object for synchronization for a custom table

  1. In the Manager, select the Universal Cloud Interface > Basic configuration data > Target system types category.

  2. In the result list, select the SCIM interface target system type.

  3. Select the Assign synchronization tables task.

  4. In the Add assignments pane, assign the table for which you want to use single object synchronization.

  5. Save the changes.

  6. Select the Configure tables for publishing task.

  7. Select the table and enter the Root object path.

    Enter the path to the base object in the ObjectWalker notation of the VI.DB.

    Example: FK(UID_UCIRoot).XObjectKey

  8. Save the changes.

Accelerating provisioning and single object synchronization

To smooth out spikes in data traffic, handling of processes for provisioning and single object synchronization can be distributed over several Job servers. This will also accelerate these processes.

NOTE: You should not implement load balancing for provisioning or single object synchronization on a permanent basis. Parallel processing of objects might result in dependencies not being resolved because referenced objects from another Job server have not been completely processed.

Once load balancing is no longer required, ensure that the synchronization server runs the provisioning processes and single object synchronization.

To configure load balancing

  1. Configure the server and declare it as a Job server in One Identity Manager.

    • Job servers that share processing must have the No process assignment option enabled.

    • Assign the SCIM connector server function to the Job server.

    All Job servers must access the same cloud application as the synchronization server for the respective base object.

  2. In the Synchronization Editor, assign a custom server function to the base object.

    This server function is used to identify all the Job servers being used for load balancing.

    If there is no custom server function for the base object, create a new one.

    For more information about editing base objects, see the One Identity Manager Target System Synchronization Reference Guide.

  3. In the Manager, assign this server function to all the Job servers that will be processing provisioning and single object synchronization for the base object.

    Only select those Job servers that have the same configuration as the base object's synchronization server.

Once all the processes have been handled, the synchronization server takes over provisioning and single object synchronization again.

To use the synchronization server without load balancing.

  • In the Synchronization Editor, remove the server function from the base object.

For detailed information about load balancing, see the One Identity Manager Target System Synchronization Reference Guide.

Synchronizing with override files

When you set up synchronization with a cloud application, One Identity Manager uses the SCIM schema exported from the server. If the SCIM connector cannot find the schema, you can pass it the schema data by using override files. The override files contain a complete description of the schema being used and they must confirm to the SCIM Core Schema specification (RFC 7643).

To configure synchronization with override files

  1. Start the Synchronization Editor.

  2. Enable expert mode.

  3. Set up an initial synchronization project. For more information, see Creating a synchronization project for initial synchronization of a cloud application. The following special features apply:

    1. On the Expert settings page, define whether you want to make additional settings. Set the Show schema settings option.

    2. On the Schema definition page, enter the path for the override files. Both files must exist.

      • Schema override file: Contains the complete schema definition of the cloud application.

      • Resource configuration override file: Contains the full resource definition of the cloud application.

    3. To check the override files for errors, click Check.

NOTE: If override file are given in the synchronization configuration files they replace a schema definition on the server.

Schema definitions from override files are saved as connection parameters (DPRSystemConnection.ConnectionParameter).

You must make any changes to the SCIM schema in the override files, which must then be reloaded into the synchronization project.

To add schema changes to the synchronization project

  1. Update the schema definition in the override files.

  2. In the Synchronization Editor, open the synchronization project.

  3. Enable expert mode.

  4. Select the Configuration > Target system category.

  5. Select the General view and click Edit connection.

    This starts the system connection wizard.

  6. On the Schema definition page, enter the path for the override files.

  7. End the system connection wizard.

    This updates the connection parameters.

  8. Select the General view and click Update schema.

  9. Confirm the security prompt with Yes.
  10. Save the changes.

If the server has a valid schema definition because of later changes, for example, the override files' schema must be removed from the connection parameters.

To remove the override file's schema and apply the server's schema definition

  1. In the Synchronization Editor, open the synchronization project.

  2. Enable expert mode.

  3. Select the Configuration > Target system category.

  4. Select the General view and click Edit connection.

    This starts the system connection wizard.

  5. Select the Endpoint Configuration page and enter the URIs for the SCIM end points. Use the SCIM base schema if no URIs are given.

  6. Select the Schema definition page and click Clear existing for both the schema override file and the resource configuration override file.

  7. End the system connection wizard.

  8. Select the General view and click Update schema.

  9. Confirm the security prompt with Yes.
  10. Save the changes.
