Testing the generation of passwords

When you generate a password, all the password policy settings, custom scripts and the restricted passwords are taken into account.

To generate a password that conforms to the password policy

  1. In the Manager, select the Oracle E-Business Suite | Basic configuration data | Password policies category.

  2. In the result list, select the password policy.
  3. Select the Change master data task.
  4. Select the Test tab.

  5. Click Generate.

    This generates and displays a password.

Initial password for new E-Business Suite user accounts

You can issue an initial password for a new E-Business Suite user account in the following ways:

  • Create user accounts manually and enter a password in their master data.

  • Assign a randomly generated initial password to enter when you create user accounts.

    • In the Designer, set the TargetSystem | EBS | Accounts | InitialRandomPassword configuration parameter.

    • Apply target system specific password policies and define the character sets that the password must contain.

    • Specify which employee will receive the initial password by email.

  • Use the employee's central password. The employee’s central password is mapped to the user account password. For detailed information about an employee’s central password, see the One Identity Manager Identity Management Base Module Administration Guide.

Email notifications about login data

You can configure the login information for new user accounts to be sent by email to a specified person. In this case, two messages are sent with the user name and the initial password. Mail templates are used to generate the messages. The mail text in a mail template is defined in several languages. This means the recipient’s language can be taken into account when the email is generated. Mail templates are supplied in the default installation with which you can configure the notification procedure.

The following prerequisites must be fulfilled in order to use notifications:

  • Ensure that the email notification system is configured in One Identity Manager. For more detailed information, see the One Identity Manager Installation Guide.
  • In the Designer, set the Common | MailNotification | DefaultSender configuration parameter and enter the sender address for sending the email notifications.
  • Ensure that all employees have a default email address. Notifications are sent to this address. For more detailed information, see the One Identity Manager Identity Management Base Module Administration Guide.
  • Ensure that a language can be determined for all employees. Only then can they receive email notifications in their own language. For more detailed information, see the One Identity Manager Identity Management Base Module Administration Guide.

When a randomly generated password is issued for the new user account, the initial login data for a user account is sent by email to a previously specified person.

To send initial login data by email

  1. In the Designer, set the TargetSystem | EBS | Accounts | InitialRandomPassword configuration parameter.

  2. In the Designer, set the TargetSystem | EBS | Accounts | InitialRandomPassword | SendTo configuration parameter and enter the message recipient as a value.

    If no recipient can be found, the email is sent to the address stored in the TargetSystem | EBS | DefaultAddress configuration parameter.

  3. In the Designer, set the TargetSystem | EBS | Accounts | InitialRandomPassword | SendTo | MailTemplateAccountName configuration parameter.

    By default, the message sent uses the Employee - new user account created mail template. The message contains the name of the user account.

  4. In the Designer, set the TargetSystem | EBS | Accounts | InitialRandomPassword | SendTo | MailTemplatePassword configuration parameter.

    By default, the message sent uses the Employee - initial password for new user account mail template. The message contains the initial password for the user account.

TIP: To use custom mail templates for emails of this type, change the value of the configuration parameter.

Managing entitlement assignments

E-Business Suite User accounts are assigned permissions for objects Oracle E-Business Suite by means of responsibilities. Responsibilities cannot be assigned to user accounts directly. Instead, they are inherited by means of security groups. Permissions in Oracle E-Business Suite are characterized by the combination of responsibilities and security groups. These combinations are mapped in the One Identity Manager database as E-Business Suite permissions.

In Oracle E-Business Suite, entitlements can be assigned to user accounts directly and indirectly. Multiple indirect assignments with different validity periods can exist. Indirect assignments are imported into One Identity Manager and can be used for evaluations and reports. Direct assignments are also imported. For each user account there can be only one direct assignment.

In One Identity Manager, E-Business Suite entitlements can also be assigned directly or indirectly. Entitlement assignments made in One Identity Manager are transferred to Oracle E-Business Suite as direct assignments. The system then determines the assignment with the effective validity period out of all the authorization assignments for a user account.

In the One Identity Manager database, direct, and indirect entitlement assignments are identified as follows.
