In order to handle SharePoint -specific processes in One Identity Manager, the synchronization server and its server functions must be declared. You have several options for defining a server's functionality:
-
In the Designer, create an entry for the Job server in the Base Data | Installation | Job server category. For detailed information, see One Identity Manager Configuration Guide.
- In the Manager, select an entry for the Job server in the SharePoint | Basic configuration data | Server category and edit the Job server master data.
Use this task if the Job server has already been declared in One Identity Manager and you want to configure special functions for the Job server.
NOTE: One Identity Manager must be installed, configured, and started in order for a server to perform its function in the One Identity Manager Service network. Proceed as described in the One Identity Manager Installation Guide.
To edit a Job server and its functions
-
In the Manager, select the SharePoint | Basic configuration data | Server category.
-
Select the Job server entry in the result list.
-
Select the Change master data task.
-
Edit the Job server's master data.
-
Select the Assign server functions task and specify server functionality.
- Save the changes.

| Coding |
Character set coding that is used to write files to the server. |
| Parent Job server |
Name of the parent Job server. |
| Executing server |
Name of the executing server. The name of the server that exists physically and where the processes are handled.
This input is evaluated when the One Identity Manager Service is automatically updated. If the server is handling several queues, the process steps are not supplied until all the queues that are being processed on the same server have completed their automatic update. |
| Queue |
Name of the queue to handle the process steps. Each One Identity Manager Service within the network must have a unique queue identifier. The process steps are requested by the Job queue using this exact queue name. The queue identifier is entered in the One Identity Manager Service configuration file. |
| Server operating system |
Operating system of the server. This input is required to resolve the path name for replicating software profiles. The values Win32, Windows, Linux, and Unix are permitted. If no value is specified, Win32 is used. |
| Service account data |
One Identity Manager Service user account information. In order to replicate between non-trusted systems (non-trusted domains, Linux server), the One Identity Manager Service user information has to be declared for the servers in the database. This means that the service account, the service account domain, and the service account password have to be entered for the server. |
| One Identity Manager Service installed |
Specifies whether a One Identity Manager Service is installed on this server. This option is enabled by the QBM_PJobQueueLoad procedure the moment the queue is called for the first time.
The option is not automatically removed. If necessary, you can reset this option manually for servers whose queue is no longer enabled. |
| Stop One Identity Manager Service |
Specifies whether the One Identity Manager Service has stopped. If this option is set for the Job server, the One Identity Manager Service does not process any more tasks.
You can make the service start and stop with the appropriate administrative permissions in the Job Queue Info program. For more detailed information, see the One Identity Manager Process Monitoring and Troubleshooting Guide. |
| No automatic software update |
Specifies whether to exclude the server from automatic software updating.
NOTE: Servers must be manually updated if this option is set. |
| Software update running |
Specifies whether a software update is currently running. |
|
Last fetch time |

|
Last timeout check |
The time of the last check for loaded process steps with a dispatch value that exceeds the one in the Common | Jobservice | LoadedJobsTimeOut configuration parameter. |
| Server function |

A default application role exists for the target system manager in One Identity Manager. Assign the employees who are authorized to edit all SharePoint farms in One Identity Manager to this application role.
Define additional application roles if you want to limit the edit permissions for target system managers to individual SharePoint farms. The application roles must be added under the default application role.
For detailed information about implementing and editing application roles, see the One Identity Manager Authorization and Authentication Guide.
Implementing application roles for target system managers
-
The One Identity Manager administrator allocates employees to be target system administrators.
-
These target system administrators add employees to the default application role for target system managers.
Target system managers with the default application role are authorized to edit all the SharePoint farms in One Identity Manager.
-
Target system managers can authorize other employees within their area of responsibility as target system managers and if necessary, create additional child application roles and assign these to individual SharePoint farms.
Table 10: Default application roles for target system managers
|
Target system managers
