You can configure the login information for new user accounts to be sent by email to a specified person. In this case, two messages are sent with the user name and the initial password. Mail templates are used to generate the messages. The mail text in a mail template is defined in several languages. This means the recipient’s language can be taken into account when the email is generated. Mail templates are supplied in the default installation with which you can configure the notification procedure.
The following prerequisites must be fulfilled in order to use notifications:
-
Ensure that the email notification system is configured in One Identity Manager. For more information, see the One Identity Manager Installation Guide.
- In the Designer, set the Common | MailNotification | DefaultSender configuration parameter and enter the sender address for sending the email notifications.
- Ensure that all employees have a default email address. Notifications are sent to this address. For more information, see the One Identity Manager Identity Management Base Module Administration Guide.
- Ensure that a language can be determined for all employees. Only then can they receive email notifications in their own language. For more information, see the One Identity Manager Identity Management Base Module Administration Guide.
When a randomly generated password is issued for the new user account, the initial login data for a user account is sent by email to a previously specified person.

In One Identity Manager, user accounts, groups, computers, and container structures of an LDAP domain are mapped. These objects are imported into the One Identity Manager database during synchronization. You cannot display or edit their properties in the Manager.

The target system for the synchronization with an LDAP directory is the domain. Domains are added as base objects for the synchronization in One Identity Manager. They are used to configure provisioning processes, automatic assignment of employees to user accounts, and to pass down LDAP user groups to user accounts.
