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. The process steps are requested by the Job queue using this queue identifier. 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 information, see the One Identity Manager Process Monitoring and Troubleshooting Guide.

Paused due to unavailability of a target system

Specifies whether task processing for this queue has been stopped because the target system that uses this Job server as a synchronization server is temporarily unavailable. As soon as the target system is available again, processing starts and all outstanding tasks are performed.

For more information about offline mode, see the One Identity Manager Target System Synchronization Reference 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.

Server function

Target system managers

A default application role exists for the target system manager in One Identity Manager. Assign identities to this application role who have permission to edit all SharePoint farms in One Identity Manager.

Define additional application roles if you want to limit the permissions for target system managers to individual SharePoint farms. The application roles must be added under the default application role.

For more 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 identities to be target system administrators.

  2. These target system administrators add identities to the default application role for target system managers.

    Target system managers with the default application role are authorized to edit all the SharePoint farms in One Identity Manager.

  3. Target system managers can authorize other identities within their area of responsibility as target system managers and if necessary, create additional child application roles and assign these to individual SharePoint farms.

Table 10: Default application roles for target system managers
User Tasks

Target system managers

 

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

Users with this application role:

  • Assume administrative tasks for the target system.

  • Create, change, or delete target system objects.

  • Edit password policies for the target system.

  • Prepare system entitlements to add to the IT Shop.

  • Can add identities that do not have the Primary identity identity type.

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

To initially specify identities to be target system administrators

  1. Log in to the Manager as a One Identity Manager administrator (Base role | Administrators application role)

  2. Select the One Identity Manager Administration > Target systems > Administrators category.

  3. Select the Assign identities task.

  4. Assign the identity and save the changes.

To add the first identities to the default application as target system managers

  1. Log in to the Manager as a target system administrator (Target systems | Administrators application role).

  2. Select the One Identity Manager Administration > Target systems > SharePoint category.

  3. Select the Assign identities task.

  4. Assign the identities you want and save the changes.

To authorize other identities as target system managers when you are a target system manager

  1. Log in to the Manager as a target system manager.

  2. Select the application role in the SharePoint > Basic configuration data > Target system managers category.

  3. Select the Assign identities task.

  4. Assign the identities you want and save the changes.

To specify target system managers for individual SharePoint farms

  1. Log in to the Manager as a target system manager.

  2. Select the SharePoint > Farms category.

  3. Select the farm in the result list.

  4. Select the Change main data task.

  5. On the General tab, select the application role in the Target system manager menu.

    - OR -

    Next to the Target system manager menu, click to create a new application role.

    1. Enter the application role name and assign the Target systems | SharePoint parent application role.

    2. Click OK to add the new application role.

  6. Save the changes.

  7. Assign identities to this application role who are permitted to edit the farm in One Identity Manager.

Setting up account definitions

One Identity Manager has account definitions for automatically allocating user accounts to identities. You can create account definitions for every target system. If an identity does not yet have a user account in a target system, a new user account is created. This is done by assigning account definitions to an identity.

The data for the user accounts in the respective target system comes from the basic identity main data. The assignment of the IT operating data to the identity’s user account is controlled through the primary assignment of the identity to a location, a department, a cost center, or a business role. Processing is done through templates. There are predefined templates for determining the data required for user accounts included in the default installation. You can customize templates as required.

For more information about account definitions, see the One Identity Manager Target System Base Module Administration Guide.

NOTE: Only SharePoint user accounts that are not marked as a group can be created with account definitions (IsDomainGroup = 'false'). However, it is recommended to create SharePoint user accounts based on target system groups. Only use account definitions for SharePoint if you are not following standard procedure. For more information, see SharePoint user accounts.

The following steps are required to implement an account definition:
