Disabling synchronization

Regular synchronization cannot be started until the synchronization project and the schedule are active.

To prevent regular synchronization

  1. Open the synchronization project in the Synchronization Editor.

  2. Select the start up configuration and deactivate the configured schedule.

    Now you can only start synchronization manually.

An activated synchronization project can only be edited to a limited extend. The schema in the synchronization project must be updated if schema modifications are required. The synchronization project is deactivated in this case and can be edited again.

Furthermore, the synchronization project must be deactivated if synchronization should not be started by any means (not even manually).

To deactivate the synchronization project

  1. Open the synchronization project in the Synchronization Editor.

  2. Select the General view on the start page.

  3. Click Deactivate project.

Basic data for managing a Microsoft Exchange environment

To manage a Microsoft Exchange environment in One Identity Manager, the following basic data is relevant.

  • Configuration parameter

    Use configuration parameters to configure the behavior of the system's basic settings. One Identity Manager provides default settings for different configuration parameters. Check the configuration parameters and modify them as necessary to suit your requirements.

    Configuration parameters are defined in the One Identity Manager modules. Each One Identity Manager module can also install configuration parameters. In the Designer, you can find an overview of all configuration parameters in the Base data | General | Configuration parameters category.

    For more information, see Configuration parameters for managing a Microsoft Exchange environment.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 Microsoft Exchange organizations 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 Microsoft Exchange organizations. The application roles must be added under the default application role.

    For more information, see Target system managers.

Setting up 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.

The data for the user accounts in the respective target system comes from the basic employee data. The employee must own user account. The assignment of the IT operating data to the employee’s user account is controlled through the primary assignment of the employee to a location, a department, a cost center, or a business role. Processing is done through templates. There are predefined templates for determining the data required for user accounts included in the default installation. You can customize templates as required.

For detailed information about account definitions, see the One Identity Manager Target System Base Module Administration Guide.

The following steps are necessary to implement an account definition:

Creating an account definition

To create a new account definition

  1. In the Manager, select the Active Directory | Basic configuration data | Account definitions | Account definitions category.

  2. Select an account definition in the result list. Select the Change master data task.

    -OR-

    Click in the result list.

  3. Enter the account definition's master data.
  4. Save the changes.
