Identity Manager 8.1.4 - Administration Guide for Connecting to Active Directory

You can create a new employee 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 employee master data. Which login data is required depends on the selected identity type.

Account definition through which the user account was created.

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

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 employee 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 employee’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 employee’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 logon for this user account is blocked as soon as the given date is exceeded. If you assigned an account definition, the employee’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. By default, you set up user accounts in One Identity Manager with the USER object class. However, the INETORGPERSON object class is also supported, which is used by other LDAP and X.500 directory services for the mapping of user accounts.

Maximum risk index value of all assigned groups. The property is only visible if the QER | CalculateRiskIndex configuration parameter is set. For detailed 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 menu.

Text field for additional explanation.

User account's identity type Permitted values are:

• Primary identity: Employee'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 employee.

• Sponsored identity: User account that is used for a specific purpose, such as training.

• Shared identity: User account with administrative permissions, used by several employees. Assign all employees 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 employee. If this option is set, the user account inherits groups through hierarchical roles or IT Shop requests.

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

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

Specifies whether the user account is disable. 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.
