This section provides some use case scenarios that help you familiarize yourself with Quick Connect. The scenarios illustrate how to create and run synchronization workflows and their steps to update and provision user information from a Human Resources database represented by a delimited text file to an Active Directory domain.
The scenarios are:
- Scenario 1: Provision users from a .csv file to an Active Directory domain. In this scenario, Quick Connect provisions user accounts from a Comma Separated Values (.csv) file that includes a Human Resources (HR) database to individual Organizational Units in an Active Directory domain, depending on the city where each user is based.
- Scenario 2: Use a .csv file to update user accounts in an Active Directory domain. In this scenario, Quick Connect updates user accounts in an Active Directory domain based on the changes made to the Human Resources (HR) database saved in a Comma Separated Values (.csv) file.
- Scenario 3: 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 4: 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 5: 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 6: 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 (Scenario 1 and Scenario 2), perform the following steps:
- Make sure you have installed the Quick Connect for Base Systems package. For the installation instructions, see the Quick Connect for Base Systems documentation.
- Make sure you have properly configured the connection to the target Active Directory domain in the Quick Connect Administration Console.
- 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
