Identity Manager 8.1.5 - CSV Connector User Guide

Configuring the provisioning of memberships

Memberships, such as user accounts in groups, are saved in assignment tables in the One Identity Manager database. During provisioning of modified memberships, changes made in the target system may be overwritten. This behavior can occur under the following conditions:

  • Memberships are saved in the target system as an object property in list form (Example: List of user accounts in the Members property of an Active Directory group).

  • Memberships can be modified in either of the connected systems.

  • A provisioning workflow and provisioning processes are set up.

If one membership in One Identity Manager changes, by default, the complete list of members is transferred to the target system. Therefore, memberships that were previously added to the target system are removed in the process and previously deleted memberships are added again.

To prevent this, provisioning can be configured such that only the modified membership is provisioned in the target system. The corresponding behavior is configured separately for each assignment table.

To allow separate provisioning of memberships

  1. In the Manager, select the Data Synchronization | Basic configuration data | Target system types category.

  2. Select the Configure tables for publishing task.

  3. Select the assignment tables that you want to set up for single provisioning. Multi-select is possible.

    • This option can only be enabled for assignment tables that have a base table with an XDateSubItem or a CCC_XDateSubItem column.

      The CCC_XDateSubItem column can only be added to custom tables in custom target systems. For example, it cannot be added to the UNSAccount table.

    • Assignment tables that are grouped together in a virtual schema property in the mapping must be marked identically (for example, ADSAccountInADSGroup, ADSGroupInADSGroup and ADSMachineInADSGroup).

  4. Click Merge mode.

  5. Save the changes.

For each assignment table labeled like this, the changes made in One Identity Manager are saved in a separate table. During modification provisioning, the members list in the target system is compared to the entries in this table. This means that only modified memberships are provisioned and not the entire members list.

NOTE: The complete members list is updated by synchronization. During this process, objects with changes but incomplete provisioning are not handled. These objects are logged in the synchronization log.

You can restrict single provisioning of memberships with a condition. Once merge mode has been disabled for a table, the condition is deleted. Tables that have had the condition deleted or edited are marked with the following icon: . You can restore the original condition at any time.

To restore the default condition

  1. Select the auxiliary table for which you want to restore the condition.

  2. Right-click on the selected row and select the Restore original values context menu item.
  3. Save the changes.

For more detailed information about provisioning memberships, see the One Identity Manager Target System Synchronization Reference Guide.

Troubleshooting

For detailed information about correcting errors during synchronization of object hierarchies, see the One Identity Manager Target System Synchronization Reference Guide.

Help for the analysis of synchronization issues

You can generate a report for analyzing problems that arise during synchronization, inadequate performance for example. The report contains information such as:

  • Consistency check results
  • Revision filter settings
  • Scope applied
  • Analysis of the data store
  • Object access times in the One Identity Manager database and in the target system

To generate a synchronization analysis report

  1. Open the synchronization project in the Synchronization Editor.

  2. Select the Help | Generate synchronization analysis report menu item and click Yes in the security prompt.

    The report may take a few minutes to generate. It is displayed in a separate window.

  3. Print the report or save it in one of the available output formats.
