Determining the responsible attestors

The DBQueue Processor calculates which identity is authorized as an approver and in which approval level. Once an attestation is triggered, the attestors are determined for every approval step of the workflow to be processed. Changes to responsibilities may lead to an identity no longer being authorized as an approver for an attestation that is not yet finally approved. In this case, the attestors must be recalculated. The following changes can trigger recalculation of pending attestations:

  • Approval policy, workflow, step, or procedure changes.

  • An authorized approver loses their responsibility in One Identity Manager, for example, if a change is made to the department manager, attestation policy approver, or target system manager.

  • An identity obtains responsibilities in One Identity Manager and therefore is authorized as an approver, for example as the manager of the identity to be attested.

  • An identity authorized as an approver is deactivated.

Once an identity's responsibilities have changed in One Identity Manager, a task for recalculating the attestors is queued in the DBQueue. All approval steps of the pending attestation cases are also recalculated by default. Approval steps that have already been approved remain approved, even if their attestor has changed. Recalculating attestors may take a long time depending on the configuration of the system environment and the amount of data to be processed. To optimize this processing time, you can specify the approval steps for which the attestors are to be recalculated.

NOTE: The attestation recalculation task is set for approval steps that implement default approval procedures. Approval steps with customized approval procedures are not recalculated automatically.

To configure recalculation of the attestors

  • In the Designer, set the QER | Attestation | ReducedApproverCalculation configuration parameter and select one of the following options as the value.

    Table 31: Options for recalculating attestors
    Option Description

    No

    All approval steps are recalculated. This behavior also applies if the configuration parameter is not set.

    Advantage: All valid attestors are displayed in the approval process. The rest of the approval sequence is transparent.

    Disadvantage: Recalculating attestors may take a long time.

    CurrentLevel

    Only the attestors for the approval level that is currently to be edited are recalculated. Once an approval level has been approved, the attestors are determined for the next approval level.

    Advantage: The number of approval levels to calculate is lower. Calculating the attestors may be faster.

    TIP: Use this option if performance problems occur in your environment in connection with the recalculation of attestors.

    Disadvantage: The originally calculated attestors are still displayed in the approval sequence for each subsequent approval step, even though they may no longer have approval authorization. The rest of the approval sequence is not correctly represented.

    NoRecalc

    No recalculation of attestors. The previous attestors remain authorized to approve the current approval level. Once an approval level has been approved, the attestors are determined for the next approval level.

    Advantage: The number of approval levels to calculate is lower. Calculating the attestors may be faster.

    TIP: Use this option if performance problems occur in your environment in connection with the recalculation of attestors, even though the CurrentLevel option is used.

    Disadvantage: The originally calculated attestors are still displayed in the approval sequence for each subsequent approval step, even though they may no longer have approval authorization. The rest of the approval sequence is not correctly represented. Identities that are no longer authorized can approve the current approval level.

    In the worst-case scenario, the only attestors originally calculated here now have no access to One Identity Manager, for example, because they have left the company. The approval level cannot be approved.

    To see approval steps of this type through

    • Define a timeout and timeout behavior when you set up the approval workflows on the approval steps.

      - OR -

    • When setting up the attestation, assign members to the chief approval team. These members can access pending attestation cases at any time.

Setting up multi-factor authentication for attestation

You can set up additional authentication for particularly security critical attestations, which requires every attestor to additionally authenticate themselves for attestation. In your attestation policies, define which attestation policies require this authentication.

One Identity Manager uses OneLogin for multi-factor authentication. Usable authentication modes are determined through the OneLogin user accounts linked to the identities.

Prerequisites

In OneLogin:

  • At least one authentication method is configured on all user accounts that are going to use multi-factor authentication.

In One Identity Manager:

  • The OneLogin Module is installed.

  • Synchronization with a OneLogin domain is set up and has been run at least once.

  • Identities linked to OneLogin user accounts.

  • The API Server and the web application are configured as required.

For more information about setting up multi-factor authentication, see the One Identity Manager Authorization and Authentication Guide.

To use multi-factor authentication for attesting

  1. In the Manager, select the attestation policies to which you want to apply multi-factor authentication.

  2. Enable the Approval by multi-factor authentication option.

    Multi-factor authentication cannot be used for default attestation policies.

Once the Approval by multi-factor authentication option is enabled on an attestation policy, additional authentication is requested in each approval step of the approval process. Attestors can select any one of the authentication methods assigned to their OneLogin user accounts.

IMPORTANT: An attestation cannot be sent by email if multi-factor authentication is configured for the attestation policy. Attestation emails for such attestations produce an error message.

For more information about multi-factor authentication, see the One Identity Manager Web Portal User Guide.
