Deleting Active Directory groups

Product owners and target system managers can request deletion of an Active Directory group in the Web Portal. The product owner or target system manager must grant deletion approval. The group is deleted in One Identity Manager and the change is published in the target system.

Prerequisites

  • The group can be requested in the IT Shop.

  • Identities are assigned to the Target systems | Active Directory application role.

Basic data for managing an Active Directory environment

To manage an Active Directory environment in One Identity Manager, the following basic data is relevant.

  • Account definitions

    One Identity Manager has account definitions for automatically allocating user accounts to identities. You can create account definitions for every target system. If an identity does not yet have a user account in a target system, a new user account is created. This is done by assigning account definitions to an identity.

    For more information, see Account definitions for Active Directory user accounts and Active Directory contacts.

  • Password policy

    One Identity Manager provides you with support for creating complex password policies, for example, for system user passwords, the identities' central password as well as passwords for individual target systems. Password polices apply not only when the user enters a password but also when random passwords are generated.

    Predefined password policies are supplied with the default installation that you can use or customize if required. You can also define your own password policies.

    For more information, see Password policies for Active Directory user accounts.

  • Initial password for new user accounts

    You have the different options for issuing an initial password for user accounts. Enter a password or use a random generated initial password when you create a user account.

    For more information, see Initial password for new Active Directory user accounts.

  • Email notifications about credentials

    When a new user account is created, the login data are sent to a specified recipient. In this case, two messages are sent with the user name and the initial password. Mail templates are used to generate the messages.

    For more information, see Email notifications about login data.

  • User account names

    To assign permissions to directories and files, it is sometimes necessary to define user account names such as Administrators or Domain Users in specific languages.

    For more information, see User account names.

  • Target system types

    Target system types are required for configuring target system comparisons. Tables with outstanding objects are maintained with the target system types and settings are configured for provisioning memberships and single objects synchronization. Target system types also map objects in the Unified Namespace.

    For more information, see Post-processing outstanding objects.

  • Target system managers

    A default application role exists for the target system manager in One Identity Manager. Assign identities to this application role who have permission to edit all domains in One Identity Manager.

    Define additional application roles if you want to limit the permissions for target system managers to individual domains. The application roles must be added under the default application role.

    For more information, see Target system managers for Active Directory.

  • Servers

    Servers must be informed of your server functionality in order to handle Active Directory-specific processes in One Identity Manager. These may be the synchronization server, home server, or profile server, for example.

    For more information, see Job server for Active Directory-specific process handling.

User account names

To assign permissions to directories and files, it is sometimes necessary to define user account names such as Administrators or Domain Users in specific languages.

NOTE:  Default language for user account names is English.

To edit user account names

  1. In the Manager, select the Active Directory > Basic configuration data > User account names category.

  2. Select an item in the result list. Select the Change main data task.

    - OR -

    Click in the result list.
