Handling of E-Business Suite objects in the Web Portal

One Identity Manager enables its users to perform various tasks simply using a Web Portal. The Web Portal supports the administration of Oracle E-Business Suite for the following tasks:

  • Managing user accounts and employees

    An account definition can be requested by shop customers in the Web Portal if it is assigned to an IT Shop shelf. The request undergoes a defined approval procedure. The user account is not created until it has been agreed by an authorized person, such as a manager.

  • Managing entitlement assignments

    When an entitlement is assigned to an E-Business Suite shelf, the IT Shop entitlement can be requested by the customer in the Web Portal. The request undergoes a defined approval procedure. The entitlement is not assigned until it has been approved by an authorized person.

    In the Web Portal, managers and administrators of organizations can assign E-Business Suite entitlements to the departments, cost centers, or locations for which they are responsible. The entitlements are inherited by all persons who are members of these departments, cost centers, or locations.

    If the Business Roles Module is available, managers and administrators of business roles in the Web Portal can assign E-Business Suite entitlements to the business roles for which they are responsible. The entitlements are inherited by all persons who are members of these business roles.

    If the System Roles Module is available, supervisors of system roles in the Web Portal can assign E-Business Suite entitlements to the system roles. The entitlements are inherited by all persons to whom these system roles are assigned.

  • Attestation

    If the Attestation Module is available, the correctness of the properties of target system objects and of entitlement assignments can be verified on request. To enable this, attestation policies are configured in the Manager. The attesters use the Web Portal to approve attestation cases.

  • Governance administration

    If the Compliance Rules Module is available, you can define rules that identify the invalid entitlement assignments and evaluate their risks. The rules are checked regularly, and if changes are made to the objects in One Identity Manager. Compliance rules are defined in the Manager. Supervisors use the Web Portal to check and resolve rule violations and to grant exception approvals.

    If the Company Policies Module is available, company policies can be defined for the target system objects mapped in One Identity Manager and their risks evaluated. Company policies are defined in the Manager. Supervisors use the Web Portal to check policy violations and to grant exception approvals.

  • Risk assessment

    You can use the risk index of E-Business Suite entitlements to evaluate the risk of entitlement assignments for the company.One Identity Manager provides default calculation functions for this. The calculation functions can be modified in the Web Portal.

  • Reports and statistics

    The Web Portal provides a range of reports and statistics about the employees, user accounts, and their entitlements and risks.

For more information about the named topics, see Assigning E-Business Suite entitlements to user accounts in One Identity Manager and refer to the following guides:

Basic configuration data

To manage Oracle E-Business Suite in One Identity Manager, the following data is relevant.

  • Account definitions

    One Identity Manager has account definitions for automatically allocating user accounts to employees during working hours. You can create account definitions for every target system. If an employee does not yet have a user account in a target system, a new user account is created. This is done by assigning account definitions to an employee.

    For more information, see Setting up account definitions.

  • Password policy

    One Identity Manager provides you with support for creating complex password policies, for example, for system user passwords, the employees' central password as well as passwords for individual target systems. Password polices apply not only when the user enters a password but also when random passwords are generated.

    Predefined password policies are supplied with the default installation that you can use or customize if required. You can also define your own password policies.

    For more information, see Password policies for E-Business Suite user accounts.

  • Target system types

    Target system types are required for configuring target system comparisons. Tables containing outstanding objects are maintained on target system types.

    For more information, see Post-processing outstanding objects.

  • Server

    In order to handle Oracle E-Business Suite -specific processes in One Identity Manager, the synchronization server and its server functions must be declared.

    For more information, see Job server for E-Business Suite-specific process handling.

  • Target system managers

    A default application role exists for the target system manager in One Identity Manager. Assign the employees who are authorized to edit all E-Business Suite systems in One Identity Manager to this application role.

    Define additional application roles if you want to limit the edit permissions for target system managers to individual systems. The application roles must be added under the default application role.

    For more information, see Target system managers.

Job server for E-Business Suite-specific process handling

In order to handle Oracle E-Business Suite -specific processes in One Identity Manager, the synchronization server and its server functions must be declared. You have several options for defining a server's functionality:

  • In the Designer, create an entry for the Job server in the Base Data | Installation | Job server category. For detailed information, see One Identity Manager Configuration Guide.

  • In the Manager, select an entry for the Job server in the Oracle E-Business Suite | Basic configuration data | Server category and edit the Job server master data.

    Use this task if the Job server has already been declared in One Identity Manager and you want to configure special functions for the Job server.

NOTE: One Identity Manager must be installed, configured, and started in order for a server to perform its function in the One Identity Manager Service network. Proceed as described in the One Identity Manager Installation Guide.
