General master data for Job servers

NOTE: All editing options are also available in the Designer under Base Data | Installation | Job server.

NOTE: More properties may be available depending on which modules are installed.
Table 19: Job server properties

Property

Meaning
Server Job server name.
Full server name Full server name in accordance with DNS syntax.

Example:

<Name of server>.<Fully qualified domain name>

Target system Computer account target system.
Language Language of the server.
Server is cluster Specifies whether the server maps a cluster.
Server belongs to cluster

Cluster to which the server belongs.

NOTE: The Server is cluster and Server belongs to cluster properties are mutually exclusive.
IP address (IPv6) Internet protocol version 6 (IPv6) server address.
IP address (IPv4) Internet protocol version 4 (IPv4) server address.
Copy process (source server) Permitted copying methods that can be used when this server is the source of a copy action. At present, only copy methods that support the Robocopy and rsync programs are supported.

If no method is given, the One Identity Manager Service determines the operating system of the server during runtime. Replication is then performed with the Robocopy program between servers with a Windows operating system or with the rsync program between servers with a Linux operating system. If the operating systems of the source and destination servers differ, it is important that the right copy method is applied for successful replication. A copy method is chosen that supports both servers.

Copy process (target server) Permitted copying methods that can be used when this server is the destination of a copy action.
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 time the process was collected.

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.

Target system managers

A default application role exists for the target system manager in One Identity Manager. Assign the employees who are authorized to edit all domains 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 domains. 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

  1. The One Identity Manager administrator allocates employees to be target system administrators.

  2. 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 domains in One Identity Manager.

  3. 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 domains.

Table 21: Default application roles for target system managers
User Tasks

Target system managers

 

Target system managers must be assigned to the Target systems | LDAP or a child application role.

Users with this application role:

  • Assume administrative tasks for the target system.

  • Create, change, or delete target system objects like user accounts or groups.

  • Edit password policies for the target system.

  • Prepare groups to add to the IT Shop.

  • Can add employees who have an other identity than the Primary identity.

  • Configure synchronization in the Synchronization Editor and define the mapping for comparing target systems and One Identity Manager.

  • Edit the synchronization's target system types and outstanding objects.

  • Authorize other employees within their area of responsibility as target system managers and create child application roles if required.
