"People
are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when
the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in,
their true beauty is revealed only if there is light from
within."

Kübler-Ross (1926 -)

Synchronizing
Oracle Identity Management and configuring Oracle Identity Management
Provisioning Service
(LESSON
25)
First,
make a note to the following important terms:
-
Connectors:
A connector is a prepackaged connectivity solution that exchanges data
between the OID server and the connected directory in a
synchronization environment. Connectors exchange data in a format that
is understandable by both the directories.
-
Synchronization
profiles: A
synchronization profile contains information about the type of
interface to be used for synchronization of data between OID and
connected directory.
-
Synchronization
Agent: It is a
special program that synchronizes data between the OID server and
other servers with different storage formats.
Mapping
Rules
Mapping
rules govern the conversion of attributes between a connected
directory and the OID server. Mapping rules ensure that attributes
mean the same when data is synchronized. The attributes between a
connected directory and the OID server are converted by using mapping
rules.
The
following are two types of mapping rules:
-
domain-level
mapping rule
-
Attribute-level
mapping rule
The
following are steps when involved in provisioning procedure:
-
Create users
in the central directory of the OID server.
-
Enroll the
users to the application:
o
Automatic
enrollment
o
Manual
enrollment
-
Synchronize
the user account and entitlements with the OID server.
