The Active Directory group's canonical name should be displayed with every group membership in the Web Portal. The attestation case's risk index can be determined from the group membership's risk index. The object key for the object relation can be found from the Active Directory user account. The information required about the attestation objects will be summarized in a report. To do this, enter the following data on the master data form.

Defining reports for attestation

Define attestation reports with the Report Editor. Note the following when you define a report for attestation:

  • The base table for the report must be identical to the one for the attestation procedure.

  • Enter Attestation as the report category. This ensures that the report is displayed in the Report menu of the attestation procedure.

  • In order to create a report for each attestation object with the information relating exactly to the attestation object, define a ObjectKeyBase parameter for the attestation object in the report. Use the parameters in the data source definition for the report in Condition field.

    Example: XObjectKey = @ObjectKeyBase

Default reports

One Identity Manager supplies some default reports for attestation. These are used in the default attestation procedures, amongst others. Default report are given the prefix VI_.

TIP: Default reports cannot be changed. If you want to customize a default report, create a copy and edit it according to your requirements. Then assign the copy to the attestation procedure.

Default attestation procedures

One Identity Manager provides a default approval procedure for default attestation of new users and recertification of all employees stored in the One Identity Manager database. Moreover, default approval procedures are supplied through which the different roles, user accounts, and system entitlements mapped in the Unified Namespace can be attested. Using these default approval policies you can create attestation procedures easily in the Web Portal.

To display default attestation procedures

  • In the Manager, select the Attestation | Basic configuration data | Attestation procedures | Predefined category.

For detailed information about using default attestation procedures, see the One Identity Manager Web Portal User Guide.
