Working with One Identity Manager

Connections to external data systems > External data systems supported out of the box > Working with One Identity Manager

To create a connection to One Identity Manager, you need to use Synchronization Service in conjunction with a special connector called One Identity Manager Connector. This connector is included in the Synchronization Service package.

The One Identity Manager Connector supports the following Synchronization Service features:

 

Table 54: Supported features

Feature

 

Bidirectional synchronization

Allows you to read and write data in the connected data system.

Yes

Delta processing mode

Allows you to process only the data that has changed in the connected data system since the last synchronization operation, thereby reducing the overall synchronization operation time.

Yes

Password synchronization

Allows you to synchronize user passwords from One Identity Manager domain to the connected data system.

No

Synchronization Service supports One Identity Manager out of the box, so you can create a connection to Identity Manager just after you install Synchronization Service.

To create a new connection

  1. In the Synchronization Service Administration Console, open the Connections tab.
  2. Click Add connection, and then use the following options:
    • Connection name. Type a descriptive name for the connection.
    • Use the specified connector. Select One Identity Manager Connector.
  3. Click Next.
  4. On the Specify connection settings page, use the following options:
    • Application Server URL. Specify the address of the One Identity Manager application server to which you want to connect.
    • Authentication module. Identifies the One Identity Manager authentication module that is to be used to verify the connection’s user ID and password.
    • User name. Specify the user ID for this connection.
    • Password. Specify the password of the user ID for this connection.
    • Test Connection. Click to verify the specified connection settings.
  5. Click Next.

    The One Identity Manager modules, target systems, and containers are displayed.

  1. Select the required One Identity Manager modules.

    		NOTE: The One Identity Manager target systems and One Identity Manager containers are applicable only for the Target System Base module (UNS..B tables).
  1. Click Finish to create a connection to One Identity Manager.

One Identity Manager Connector configuration file

Connections to external data systems > External data systems supported out of the box > Working with One Identity Manager > One Identity Manager Connector configuration file

One Identity Manager connector saves its configuration settings in the file OneIdentityManagerConnectorConfiguration.xml located in the folder <Active Roles installation folder>\One Identity ManagerConnector. You can edit the XML elements in the file to configure the various parameters of the One Identity Manager Connector. The table below describes the XML elements you can edit.

  • FALSE. Specifies to process deleted objects during data synchronization operations.

Example:

<ExcludeDeletedObjects>
TRUE
</ExcludeDeletedObjects>

<PasswordAttributes>

Specifies the default Identity Manager attribute to be used for storing passwords for objects of a particular type. Specifying an attribute for storing passwords in the Active Roles GUI overrides the value set in this XML element.
