Identity Manager 9.1.1 - Target System Synchronization Reference Guide

All data required for creating or updating a synchronization project Closed is saved in XML format. The file is divided into three main sections:

Parameter definitions

For more information, see Parameter definitions.
Global definitions

For more information, see Global definitions.
Editor Definitions

For more information, see Defining the editor for new synchronization projects or Defining the editor for existing synchronization projects.

Customize Closed the settings to create or update a new synchronization project based on this configuration file. Use parameters for all variable values if different synchronization projects are going to be created or updated with this configuration file.

To Customize the configuration file

Decide on the variable values.
Define parameters for each of these values.
Replace the values with parameters.

Example

Synchronization projects should be created for various Active Directory domains in different One Identity Manager databases on one and the same database server. A synchronization project has been created with the project wizard for one of these domains. This reference project's configuration file must be adjusted such that it can be used for all the other domains.

The following settings must be customized:

Define parameters for the One Identity Manager database, database user, system user and its password.
Define parameter for the domain name, domain controller Active Directory user and its password.
Define a parameter for the synchronization project, if more than one synchronization projects is going to added to one database.
Replace the respective values in the global and editor sections with these parameters.

IMPORTANT: The connection data for the One Identity Manager database in the global definitions (WorkDatabase.ConnectionString) and in the editor definitions (MainConnection.ConnectionParameter) must be identical. If you replace these value with parameters, use the same parameter in each case.

The following table shows the required adjustments in the configuration file based on a reference project from a SQL Server database. For more information about the connection data for a SQL Server database, see the One Identity Manager Installation Guide. For more information about One Identity Manager authentication modules, see the One Identity Manager Authorization and Authentication Guide.

Customizations to the configuration file for new synchronization projects:
- WorkDatabase.ConnectionString
  
  data source=<database server>;initial catalog=<database>;
  user id=<user>;pooling=False;Password=$DBPassword$
  
  Replace <database> and <user> with parameters, such as $Database$ and $DBUser$.
- WorkDatabase.AuthenticationString
  
  Module=<authentication module>;User[VI.DB_USER]=<system user>;(Password)Password[VI.DB_Password]=<password>
  
  Replace <system user> and <password> with parameters, such as $SystemUser$ and $SystemPassword$.
- MainConnection.ConnectionParameter
  
  Authentication=ProjectorAuthenticator;
  data source=<database server>;DBFactory="VI.DB.ViSqlFactory, VI.DB";
  initial catalog=<database>;password="<DBPassword>";pooling=False;
  user id=<user>
  
  Replace <system user> and <password> with parameters, such as $SystemUser$ and $SystemPassword$.
- ConnectedSystemConnection.ConnectionParameter
  
  ADAuthentication=<authentication type>;
  ADEnableras=<Remote Access Service>;
  ADEnablerecyclebin=<Active Directory recycle bin>;
  ADEnableterminal=<terminal service>;
  ADPort=<Port>;ADRootdn="<distinguished domain name>";
  ADServer=<domain controller>;
  ADTypeEnableExtensions=<type classes allowed>;
  ADTypeExtensions=<type class definition>;
  baseloginaccount=<Active Directory user>;
  basepassword="<Active Directory password>"
  
  Replace <distinguished domain name>, <domain controller>, <Active Directory user> and <Active Directory password> with parameters.
- ShellDisplay
  
  <synchronization project display name>
  
  Replace the <synchronization project display name> with a parameter if more than one synchronization projects are added to a database.

For more information, see Configuration file for creating new synchronization projects.

Parameter definitions

First, define all the parameters for variable settings. You can use these parameters in the global and editor definitions.

Table 84: Parameter definition
Attribute	Description
Parameter name	Name of the parameter.
Display	Display name of the parameter.
IsQueryParameter	Specifies whether the parameter's value is given by the user. False: The parameter value is passed on the command line. True: The parameter value is queried after the command is run. The user must enter a value. This setting can be used to input a password, for example.
IsSecret	Specifies whether the parameter value is displayed or not. False: The parameter value is displayed when the user enters it. True: The parameter is masked when the user enters it.
Example value	Default value used if no value is entered on the command line or by user input. If no default value is defined, a value must be passed on the command line or entered by the user.
ValueFormat	Format of the parameter value. Permitted values are: ConnectionParameterValue: The value is formatted as a connection parameter. Special characters are masked. Default: The parameter value is handled as given. If no ValueFormat is defined, the parameter value is handled as given.

Global definitions

The global definitions contain the information required for logging in to the One Identity Manager database where the changes are to be made. If the connection to the target system is supposed to be established over a remote connection, the address data of the remote connection server is also stored here.

Table 85: Global definitions
Elements	Description
WorkDatabase.ConnectionString	Database server connection parameter. Modify these settings or define a parameter if adding new synchronization projects to a different database.
WorkDatabase.AuthenticationString	Login data for the One Identity Manager database. Modify these settings or define a parameter if adding new synchronization projects to a different database.
WorkDatabase.DatabaseFactory	Supported database system. Only SQL Server is supported at present (VI.DB.ViSqlFactory, VI.DB).
LoadedShell.Uid	Unique ID of the synchronization project to be loaded. Only required when making changes to existing synchronization projects.
Remoting.Address	Address of the remote connection server.
Remoting.Port	Port of the remote connection server.

Defining the editor for new synchronization projects

To create new synchronization projects Closed ,use the ShellWizard editor. The definition part of this editor contains the following information:

Table 86: ShellWizard editor definitions
Elements	Description
TemplateUid	Unique project template ID to be used. This element does not exist if the reference project was created without a project template.
ConnectedSystemIdentity	Schema information, such as type, version, and schema ID of the connected system.
ScriptLanguage	Script language used in the synchronization project.
ShellDisplay	Synchronization project display name.
ShellDescription	Description of the synchronization project.
AutoCompletion	Specifies whether the synchronization project is activated immediately.
MainConnection	The connection data for the One Identity Manager database to be synchronized in this synchronization project.
ConnectedSystemConnection	Connection data for the target system to be synchronized with this synchronization project.
TemplateConfiguration	Additional settings that were made in the project wizard. For example: Provisioning data Enabled revision filter Setting for the synchronization log Selected synchronization server This element does not exist if the reference project was created without a project template.
