Using Custom Authentication Modes

Using Custom Authentication Modes

When user accounts are added, the values of various master data are determined using templates. The One Identity Manager tries to identify and classify an authentication object using user account properties during synchronization. To use custom authentication modes the templates of different columns must be modified if necessary. Create custom templates so that authentication modes can be assigned automatically to user accounts and the login names can be correctly formatted.

To use custom authentication modes

1. Modify the template for the column SPSUser.UID_SPSAuthSystem (authentication mode) in the Designer.
2. Test the template of columns SPSUser.ObjectKeyNamespaceItem (authentication modes) and SPSUser.LoginName (login name) and modify them if necessary.

Automatic Assignment of Employees to SharePoint User Accounts

Automatic Assignment of Employees to SharePoint User Accounts

When you add a user authenticated user account, an existing employee can be assigned automatically. This mechanism can follow on after a new user account has been created manually or through synchronization. Define criteria for finding employees to apply to automatic employee assignment. If a user account is linked to an employee through the current mode, the user account is given, through an internal process, the default manage level of the account definition entered in the user account's target system. You can customize user account properties depending on how the behavior of the manage level is defined.

If you run this procedure during working hours, automatic assignment of employees to user accounts takes place from that moment onwards. If you disable the procedure again later, the changes only affect user accounts added or updated after this point in time. Existing employee assignment to user accounts remain intact.

Prerequisites:

• The option Group authenticated is not set in the user accounts.
• The user accounts are not assigned an authentication object

Run the following tasks to assign employees automatically.

• If employees can be assigned by user accounts during synchronization, set the parameter "TargetSystem\SharePoint\PersonAutoFullsync" in the Designer and select the mode.
• If employees can be assigned by user accounts during synchronization, set the parameter "TargetSystem\SharePoint\PersonAutoDefault" in the Designer and select the mode.
• Assign an account definition to the site collection. Ensure the manage level to be used is entered as default manage level.
• Define the search criteria for employees assigned to the site collection.

Editing Search Criteria for Automatic Employee Assignment

Editing Search Criteria for Automatic Employee Assignment

Criteria for employee assignment are defined in the site collection. In this case, you specify which user account properties must match the employee’s properties such that the employee can be assigned to the user account. You can limit search criteria further by using format definitions. The search criteria are written in XML notation in the column "Search criteria for automatic employee assignment" (AccountToPersonMatchingRule) of the SPSSite table.

Search criteria are evaluated when employees are automatically assigned to user accounts. Furthermore, you can create a suggestion list for assignments of employees to user accounts based on the search criteria and make the assignment directly.

To specify criteria for employee assignment

1. Select SharePoint | Site collection.
2. Select the site collection in the result list.
3. Select Define search criteria for employee assignment in the task view.
4. Specify which user account properties must match with which employee so that the employee is linked to the user account.

   Table 31: Default Search Criteria for User Accounts

   Apply to	Column on Employee	Column on User Account
   User accounts (user authenticated)	Central user account (CentralAccount)	Login name (LoginName)
