Defining categories for inheritance by LDAP groups

In One Identity Manager, user accounts can selectively inherit groups. To do this, groups and user accounts are divided into categories. The categories can be freely selected and are specified using a mapping rule. Each category is given a specific position within the template. The template contains two tables; the user account table and the group table. Use the user account table to specify categories for target system dependent user accounts. In the group table, enter your categories for the target system-dependent groups. Each table contains the category positions position 1 to position 63.

To define a category

In the Manager, select the domain in the LDAP > Domains category.
Select the Change main data task.
Switch to the Mapping rule category tab.
Extend the relevant roots of the user account table or group table.
To enable the category, double-click .
Enter a category name of your choice for user accounts and groups in the login language that you use.
Save the changes.

Editing the synchronization project for an LDAP domain

Synchronization projects in which a domain 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

In the Manager, select the LDAP > Domains category.
Select the domain in the result list.
Select the Change main data task.
Select the Edit synchronization project task.

LDAP container structures

LDAP containers are represented by a hierarchical tree structure. Containers are often used to display organizational units such as branch offices or departments, to organize LDAP directory objects such as users, groups, and computers logically, and therefore to ease the burden of object administration. LDAP directory containers are loaded by synchronization with the One Identity Manager database.
