Cloud application master data

Enter the following master data for a cloud application.

Table 18: Cloud application master data

Property

Description

Cloud application Name of the cloud application.
Canonical name Full name of the cloud application. The canonical name is made up of the server's DNS name or it's URL respectively, the port and the service's URI.

Example: identities.example.net:8080/scim/v2

Distinguished name The cloud application's distinguished name. This distinguished name is used to form distinguished names for child objects.

Syntax example: DC = <canonical name>

Display name Name for displaying the cloud application in One Identity Manager tools.
Operators Application role in which the operators are defined. Operator edit manual provisioning processes for the cloud application that they are assigned to. Every cloud application can be assigned to other operators.

Select the One Identity Manager application, whose members are allowed to edit manual provisioning processes. Use the button to add a new application role.

Description

Text field for additional explanation.

Manual provisioning Specifies whether changes to cloud objects in the One Identity Manager database are automatically provisioned in the cloud application. If this option is not set, processes for automatic provisioning of object modifications are configured.

Set this option, if object modifications are not allowed to be published automatically in the cloud application. Use the Web Portal to transfer the changes to the cloud application.

IMPORTANT: If you set this option, you must perform regular and frequent synchronization to ensure that data remains consistent between the One Identity Manager database and the cloud application.
User account deletion not permitted Specifies whether user accounts in the cloud application can be deleted. If this option is set, user account can only be disabled.

Alternative column names

If you require different names for input fields to those on the master data form, you can specify a language-dependent alternative column name for each object type.

To specify alternative column names

  1. Select the Universal Cloud Interface | Basic configuration data | Cloud applications category.
  2. In the result list, select a cloud application. Select the Change master data task.
  3. Switch to the Alternative column names tab.
  4. Open the membership tree in the table whose column name you want to change.

    All the columns in this table are listed with their default column names.

  5. Enter any name in the login language in use.
  6. Save the changes.

How to edit a synchronization project

Synchronization projects in which a Cloud application is already used as a base object can also be opened in the Manager. You can, for example, check the configuration or view the synchronization log in this mode. The Synchronization Editor is not started with its full functionality. You cannot run certain functions, such as, running synchronization or simulation, starting the target system browser and others.

NOTE: The Manager is locked for editing throughout. To edit objects in the Manager, close the Synchronization Editor.

To open an existing synchronization project in the Synchronization Editor:

  1. Select the Universal Cloud Interface | Basic configuration data | Cloud applications category.
  2. Select the cloud application in the result list. Select the Change master data task.
  3. Select the Edit synchronization project... task.

  2. Select the container in the result list.
  3. Select the Change master data task.

You are provided with the following master data for a container.

Table 19: Master data for a container
Property Description
Name Container name.
Distinguished name Container's distinguished name.
Parent container Parent container for mapping a hierarchical container structure.
cloud application The container's cloud application.

Text field for additional explanation.

Account manager Manager responsible for the container.
Operators Application role in which the operators are defined. Operators edit manual provisioning processes for the container that they are assigned to. Every container can be assigned to other operators.

Select the One Identity Manager application, whose members are allowed to edit manual provisioning processes. Use the button to add a new application role.
