One Identity Manager maps the user accounts and groups of a Unix host. These objects are imported into the One Identity Manager database during synchronization. You cannot display or edit their properties in the Manager.

Reports about Unix objects
Mapping of Unix objects in One Identity Manager
Unix hosts
The target system of synchronization with a Unix-based target system is the host. Hosts are added as the base objects of the synchronization in One Identity Manager. They are used to configure provisioning processes, automatic assignment of employees to user accounts, and to pass down Unix user groups to user accounts.
NOTE: One Identity Manager sets up the domains in the Synchronization Editor database. 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 main data for a Unix host
-
In the Manager, select the Unix > Hosts category.
-
Select the host in the result list.
-
Select the Change main data task.
-
Edit the host's main data.
- Save the changes.

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) 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.

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.
NOTE: If you select No synchronization, you can define custom processes to exchange data between One Identity Manager and the target system. | |||||||||
