Base objects contain data about the target system to be , its system connection, and the synchronization server. Base objects form the basis for provisioning changes in the target system and synchronizing single objects. A base object is, for example, a specific Active Directory domain from the One Identity Manager database. The connection parameters for logging into a target system are assigned through a variable set. In addition, the synchronization server is declared in the base object.
Base objects are required for provisioning processes and single object synchronization of all the target systems that are connected by default to the One Identity Manager. You cannot normally specify a specific base object for provisioning and single object synchronization with database connectors or the . In this case, assignment of one base table and the synchronization server is sufficient. You can only set up one in the One Identity Manager database per base object.
The base object is used to determine which provisioning workflow is suited to an object in the One Identity Manager database. In order to find the correct workflow for provisioning object modifications or for single object synchronization, you can only set up one synchronization project per base object.
If the synchronization project was creating using a default , a base object is added. You can edit this base object and create more base objects. If the synchronization project was created without a project template, no base object is set up.
NOTE: You cannot add base objects until the synchronization project has been permanently saved in the database.
To add a base object using an existing database object
- Select the Configuration | Base objects category.
- Click
in the document view toolbar.
- Edit the base objects's master data.
- Click OK.
If the base object does not yet exist in the One Identity Manager database, use the wizard to create a base object.
NOTE: The wizard is only available to target systems that are contained in One Identity Manager as default modules. The wizard cannot be used in with the or the native database connector.
To add a base object using a wizard
- Select the Configuration | Base objects category.
- Click
in the document view toolbar.
- On the welcome page, click Next.
- On the System access page, specify how One Identity Manager can access the target system.
- Select the system connection for the new base object on the Create system connection page.
Follow the system connection wizard instructions. For detailed information about which connection parameter you required, see the administration guide for the respective system.
- On the page, select the synchronization server to execute synchronization.
If the synchronization server is not declared as a Job server in the One Identity Manager database yet, you can add a new Job server.
- Click to add a new Job server.
- Enter a name for the Job server and the full server name conforming to DNS syntax.
- Click OK.
The synchronization server is declared as Job server for the target system in the One Identity Manager database.
NOTE: After you save the synchronization project, ensure that this server is set up as a synchronization server.
- Click Finish to complete the wizard.
The wizard creates a variable set with the given connection parameters. It creates the synchronization base object, for example, the actual Active Directory domain you want to synchronize, as an object in the One Identity Manager database.
