Quest One Identity Manager Connector configuration file

Connections to external data systems > External data systems supported out of the box > Working with Quest One Identity Manager > Quest One Identity Manager Connector configuration file

Quest One Identity Manager connector saves its configuration settings in the ConnectorConfig.xml file located in the folder <One Identity Quick Connect Sync Engine installation folder>\Q1IMConnector. You can edit the XML elements in the file to configure the various parameters of the Quest One Identity Manager Connector. The table below describes the XML elements you can edit.

 

Table 10: XML elements

XML element

Description

<PathToOneIdentityManagerDlls>

Specifies the path to the Quest One Identity Manager .dll files required for One Identity Quick Connect Sync Engine to connect to the Identity Manager.

Example:

<PathToOneIdentityManagerDlls>
C:\IdentityManagerDLLs
</PathToOneIdentityManagerDlls>

<ExcludeDeletedObjects>

Specifies how One Identity Quick Connect Sync Engine will treat objects marked as deleted in Identity Manager. This element can take one of the following values:

  • TRUE. Specifies to ignore deleted objects during data synchronization operations.
  • FALSE. Specifies to process deleted objects during data synchronization operations.

Example:

<ExcludeDeletedObjects>
TRUE
</ExcludeDeletedObjects>

<PasswordAttributes>

Specifies the default Identity Manager attribute to be used for storing passwords for objects of a particular type. Specifying an attribute for storing passwords in the One Identity Quick Connect Sync Engine GUI overrides the value set in this XML element.

Example:

<PasswordAttributes>
   <PasswordAttributeDefinitions>
      <PasswordAttributeDefinition objectType="Person"       attribute="CentralPassword" />
   </PasswordAttributeDefinitions>
</PasswordAttributes>

<ReadFullSync>

Specifies a value of the FullSync variable for Read operations performed in Identity Manager.

<CreateFullSync>

Specifies a value of the FullSync variable for Create operations performed in Identity Manager.

<ModifyFullSync>

Specifies a value of the FullSync variable for Modify operations performed in Identity Manager.

<DeleteFullSync>

Specifies a value of the FullSync variable for Delete operations performed in Identity Manager.

<ObjRefFullSync>

Specifies a value of the FullSync variable for Modify Object Reference operations performed in Identity Manager.

<SyncStatusFullSync>

Specifies a value of the FullSync variable for Sync Status operations performed in Identity Manager.

For more information about the FullSync variable and the values it can take, see the Quest One Identity Manager documentation.

Working with One Identity Manager

Connections to external data systems > External data systems supported out of the box > Working with One Identity Manager

To create a connection to One Identity Manager, you need to use One Identity Quick Connect Sync Engine in conjunction with a special connector called One Identity Manager Connector.

The One Identity Manager Connector supports the following One Identity Quick Connect Sync Engine features:

 

Table 11: Supported features

Feature

 

Bidirectional synchronization

Allows you to read and write data in the connected data system.

Yes

Delta processing mode

Allows you to process only the data that has changed in the connected data system since the last synchronization operation, thereby reducing the overall synchronization operation time.

Yes
