Master data for a Job server

NOTE: All editing options are also available in the Designer under Base Data | Installation | Job server.

NOTE: More properties may be available depending on which modules are installed.
Table 16: Job server properties

Property

Meaning
Server Job server name.
Full server name Full server name in accordance with DNS syntax.

Example:

<Name of server>.<Fully qualified domain name>

Target system Computer account target system.
Language Language of the server.
Server is cluster Specifies whether the server maps a cluster.
Server belongs to cluster

Cluster to which the server belongs.

NOTE: The Server is cluster and Server belongs to cluster properties are mutually exclusive.
IP address (IPv6) Internet protocol version 6 (IPv6) server address.
IP address (IPv4) Internet protocol version 4 (IPv4) server address.
Copy process (source server) Permitted copying methods that can be used when this server is the source of a copy action. At present, only copy methods that support the Robocopy and rsync programs are supported.

If no method is given, the One Identity Manager Service determines the operating system of the server during runtime. Replication is then performed with the Robocopy program between servers with a Windows operating system or with the rsync program between servers with a Linux operating system. If the operating systems of the source and destination servers differ, it is important that the right copy method is applied for successful replication. A copy method is chosen that supports both servers.

Coding Character set coding that is used to write files to the server.
Parent Job server Name of the parent Job server.
Executing server Name of the executing server. The name of the server that exists physically and where the processes are handled.

This input is evaluated when the One Identity Manager Service is automatically updated. If the server is handling several queues, the process steps are not supplied until all the queues that are being processed on the same server have completed their automatic update.

Queue Name of the queue to handle the process steps. Each One Identity Manager Service within the network must have a unique queue identifier. The process steps are requested by the Job queue using this exact queue name. The queue identifier is entered in the One Identity Manager Service configuration file.
Server operating system Operating system of the server. This input is required to resolve the path name for replicating software profiles. The values Win32, Windows, Linux, and Unix are permitted. If no value is specified, Win32 is used.
Service account data One Identity Manager Service user account information. In order to replicate between non-trusted systems (non-trusted domains, Linux server), the One Identity Manager Service user information has to be declared for the servers in the database. This means that the service account, the service account domain, and the service account password have to be entered for the server.
One Identity Manager Service installed Specifies whether a One Identity Manager Service is installed on this server. This option is enabled by the QBM_PJobQueueLoad procedure the moment the queue is called for the first time.

The option is not automatically removed. If necessary, you can reset this option manually for servers whose queue is no longer enabled.

Stop One Identity Manager Service Specifies whether the One Identity Manager Service has stopped. If this option is set for the Job server, the One Identity Manager Service does not process any more tasks.

You can make the service start and stop with the appropriate administrative permissions in the Job Queue Info program. For more detailed information, see the One Identity Manager Process Monitoring and Troubleshooting Guide.

No automatic software update

Specifies whether to exclude the server from automatic software updating.

NOTE: Servers must be manually updated if this option is set.
Software update running Specifies whether a software update is currently running.

Last fetch time

Last time the process was collected.

Last timeout check

The time of the last check for loaded process steps with a dispatch value that exceeds the one in the Common | Jobservice | LoadedJobsTimeOut configuration parameter.

Server function Server functionality in One Identity Manager. One Identity Manager processes are handled with respect to the server function.

Server functions of a Job server

The server function defines the functionality of a server in One Identity Manager. One Identity Manager processes are handled with respect to the server function.

NOTE: All editing options are also available in the Designer under Base Data | Installation | Job server.

NOTE: More server functions may be available depending on which modules are installed.
Table 17: Permitted server functions

Server function

Remark
CSV connector Server on which the CSV connector for synchronization is installed.

Domain controller

The Active Directory domain controller. Servers that are not labeled as domain controllers are considered to be member servers.

Printer server

Server that acts as a print server.

Generic server

Server for generic synchronization with a custom target system.

Home server

Server for adding home directories for user accounts.

Update server

This server automatically updates the software on all the other servers. The server requires a direct connection to the database server that One Identity Manager database is installed on. It can run SQL tasks.

The server with the One Identity Manager database installed on it is labeled with this functionality during initial installation of the schema.

SQL processing server

It can run SQL tasks. The server requires a direct connection to the database server that One Identity Manager database is installed on.

Several SQL processing servers can be set up to spread the load of SQL processes. The system distributes the generated SQL processes throughout all the Job servers with this server function.

CSV script server

This server can process CSV files using the ScriptComponent process component.

Native database connector

This server can connect to an ADO.Net database.

One Identity Manager database connector

Server on which the One Identity Manager connector is installed. This server synchronizes the One Identity Manager target system.

One Identity Manager Service installed

Server on which a One Identity Manager Service is installed.

Primary domain controller

Primary domain controller.

Profile server

Server for setting up profile directories for user accounts.

SAM synchronization Server

Server for running synchronization with an SMB-based target system.

SMTP host

Server from which One Identity Manager Service sends email notifications. Prerequisite for sending mails using One Identity Manager Service is SMTP host configuration.

Default report server

Server on which reports are generated.

Windows PowerShell connector

The server can run Windows PowerShell version 3.0 or later.

Unix connector

This server can connect to a Unix system using SSH.

AIX connector

This server can connect to an AIX system using SSH.

Unix host

If you use a default project template, the Synchronization Editor sets up the domains in the One Identity Manager database.

NOTE: After initial synchronization of the hosts, you must enter the primary group, which will be used by default to set up the user accounts.

To edit the master data for a Unix host

  1. Select the Unix | Hosts category.

  2. Select the host in the result list.

  3. Select the Change master data task.

  4. Edit the host's master data.

  5. Save the changes.

General master data for Unix hosts

Enter the following data on the General tab.

Table 18: General master data for a host
Property Description

Host name

Name of the host.

Primary group

User account's primary group. This group is used as primary group when creating a user account.

Device

The computer is connected to this device. Specify a new device using the button next to the menu.

AIX system

Specifies whether this host is an IBM AIX system. The following properties are offered additionally for user accounts on IBM AIX systems.

Account definition (initial)

Initial account definition for creating user accounts. This account definition is used if automatic assignment of employees to user accounts is used for this host and user accounts should be created that are already managed (Linked configured state). The account definition's default manage level is applied.

User accounts are only linked to the employee (Linked state) if no account definition is given. This is the case on initial synchronization, for example.

Target system managers

Application role, in which target system managers are specified for the host. Target system managers only edit the objects from hosts that are assigned to them. Therefore, each host can have a different target system manager assigned to it.

Select the One Identity Manager application role whose members are responsible for administration of this host. Use the button to add a new application role.

Synchronized by

Type of synchronization through which the data is synchronized between the host and One Identity Manager. As soon as objects for this host are available in One Identity Manager, the type of synchronization can no longer be changed.

If you create a host with the Synchronization Editor, One Identity Manager is used.
