Target System Types

Target system types

Several target systems can be grouped together in a target system type. You can assign user accounts to groups belonging to different target systems within a target system type. In addition, tables containing outstanding objects are maintained on target system types. For more information, see Post-Processing Outstanding Objects.

To assign user accounts to system entitlements with a target system type

Displaying Customized Schema Extension for Custom Target Systems

You can display custom columns in tables UNSAccountB, UNSContainerB, UNSGroupB, UNSItemB and UNSRootB in the Manager. To do this, modify the custom column's column definition.

See the One Identity Manager Configuration Guide for detailed information about extending tables with custom columns using the program "Schema Extension" and about customizing column definitions with the program "Designer".

To display custom columns for the tables UNSAccountB, UNSContainerB, UNSGroupB, UNSItemB and UNSRootB on forms in the Manager

• Specify the order for displaying input fields in the Designer in the property Sort order (DialogColumn.SortOrder). Columns with a sort order of less that one are not displayed.

• Modify the property Group (DialogColumn.ColumnGroup) in the Designer in the custom column's column definition. The group determines, which tab the column will appear on.

  • If you do not specify a group, the column will be displayed on a tab with the name "Custom" for all target system types.

  • If you enter a group in the column configuration, the column will be displayed on a tab with the group's name for all target system types. The group's name must not match the name of a target system type.

  • If you want to display a column for a particular target system type, only enter the specific target system type (DPRNamespace.Ident_DPRNamespace) as group. The column is displayed on a tab with the target system type's name. The column is not displayed for any other target system types.

  • To display more than one target system type, enter the target system types as groups by delimiting them with a comma. The column will be displayed on a tab with the target system type's name for each of the target system types entered. The column is not displayed for any other target system types.

  • To display the column for one or more target system types, but only on one tab with another name, enter the target system types delimited by commas (,) and the tab name as the group. This group will be used as tab name for all the target system types entered. The column is not displayed for any other target system types.

Example

The table UNSAccountB is extended by 5 columns. The columns should be displayed as follows for target system type A, target system type B and target system type C.

• Column 1 on the "Custom" tab for all target system types.

• Column 2 on the tab "Group A" for all target system types.

• Column 3 on the tab "Target system type B" for the target system type B. Columns are not displayed for target system type A and target system type C.

• Column 4 on the tab "Target system type B" for target system type B and on the tab "Target system type C" for target system type C. The column is not displayed for target system type A.

• Column 5 on the tab "Group A" for target system type B and target system type C. The column is not displayed for target system type A.

Setting up a Custom Target System

Setting up a Custom Target System

To differentiate between objects from different custom target systems in the One Identity Manager database, specify an ID for each target system. Each object can be assigned to exactly one target system through this ID. You can add more properties to each ID to describe the target system in more detail.

To set up custom target systems

• Select the configuration parameter "TargetSystem\UNS\CreateNewRoot" in the Designer.

To edit target system identifiers

1. Select the category Custom target systems | Basic configuration data | Target systems.
2. Select a target system in the result list. Select Change master data in the task view.

   - OR -

   Click in the result list toolbar.

3. Edit the target system type master data.
4. Save the changes.
