Identity Manager 8.2 - Administration Guide for Connecting Unix-Based Target Systems

The user account's host.

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 main 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 main 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.

Shell that is run if a user logs in to Unix using a terminal-based login.

Name of the user account for logging in to a Unix host. If an account definition is assigned, this field is automatically filled with the employee's central user account depending on the manage level.

User ID for the user account in the Unix host.

Password for the user account. The employee’s central password can be mapped to the user account password. For detailed information about an employee’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.

Reconfirm password.

Name of the user account's primary group. This defines the group ownership of files created by the user.

A user account's primary group is determined as follows:

• If you entered a primary group in the host, the group is used as primary group when a user account is created.

• If you did not enter a primary group, a new group is created with the display name of the new user account assigned as the primary group.

The user's full home directory path. For example, /home/user001.

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. Additional information about the user account, which is found in the GECOS in /etc/password. If an account definition is assigned, this field is automatically filled with the employee's internal name depending on the manage level.

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 to use for a specific purpose. Training, for example.

• 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 the user account can inherit groups through the linked employee. If the option is set, the user account inherits groups through hierarchical roles, in which the employee is a member, or through 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.
