Oracle Identity Manager 11g: Develop Identity Provisioning

This course begins by quickly reviewing the benefits, terminology, functional aspects, and infrastructure of identity management and identity administration using Oracle Identity Manager 11g (11.1.1.3.0). These are concepts already covered in the Oracle Identity Manager 11g: Essentials course.

Learn To:

• Create Configurations for Direct Provisioning, Automated Provisioning, and Key Provisioning Functionalities.
• Understand and Perform Reconciliation.
• Use Event Handlers and Plug-Ins.
• Create Approval Processes for Request and Approval Workflows.
• Understand the Generic Technology Connector (GTC) Framework.
• Customize Oracle Identity Manager User Interfaces.

Benefits to You:

Secure your organization's critical applications and sensitive data to lower operational costs. Manage the entire user identity life cycle across all enterprise resources.

Automated Provisioning

This course teaches you how to create configurations to provision users with external resources, both manually and through auto-provisioning. You will then learn about key provisioning functionalities: disabling, enabling, changing the password of, deleting a user’s account with an external resource and modify an Oracle Identity Manager configuration to include these functionalities.

Performing Reconciliation

You get to learn about the concepts of reconciliation and work with authoritative reconciliation and account reconciliation. In addition, you learn how to customize the reconciliation workflows by developing and deploying plug-ins.

Request and Approval Workflow

This course teaches you the components of request and approval workflow, like the request dataset, approval processes, and approval tasks. You learn how to create and manage an approval workflow, email notifications for the approval workflow, incorporating the approval workflow into a provisioning workflow, and how to approve user provisioning before providing the user with access rights to a resource.

Generic Technology Connector(GTC) Framework

You also learn about providers associated with a Generic Technology Connector (GTC) framework and how to use these providers to provision and reconcile users with an Oracle Database table.

• Modifying the user’s resource-related password
• Permanently revoking access rights to an external resource
• Modify the connector to include key provisioning functions

Performing Reconciliation

• Define reconciliation
• Identify and compare two types of reconciliation associated with Oracle Identity Manager: authoritative and account reconciliation
• Discuss three reconciliation events that Oracle Identity Manager can perform with a resource
• Explain authoritative reconciliation and account reconciliation conceptually
• Identify scheduled tasks
• Discuss the role that scheduled tasks have with authoritative reconciliation and account reconciliation
• Explain how to implement authoritative reconciliation and account reconciliation workflows

Using Event Handlers and Plug-Ins

• Discuss operations, user management operations, event handlers, and plug-ins
• Explain how event handlers can extend user management operations
• Compare plug-ins, plug-in points, and the plug-in framework
• Describe how plug-ins are used to implement event handlers
• Explain how to build and run event handlers and plug-ins

Creating Approval Processes for Request and Approval Workflows

• Describe the components of the request and approval workflow and how Oracle Identity Manager interfaces with Oracle SOA
• Identify the components of a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) composite used for the request and approval workflow
• Define a SOA composite with multiple approvers defined
• Modify notification headers within a SOA composite

Understanding the Generic Technology Connector (GTC) Framework

• Discuss the Generic Technology Connector (GTC) framework
• Identify GTC providers
• Import GTC providers and connectors into Oracle Identity Manager
• Use the GTC framework to create connectors to reconcile and provision users with Oracle Database tables
• Reconcile users with an authoritative source and provision users to a target resource
• Export GTC providers and connectors from Oracle Identity Manager
