Acquire an Oracle System Using the Provisioning Manager

You must acquire the Oracle system before you can administer it with CA Identity Manager. To acquire an Oracle system, you must do the following:

From the Endpoint Type task view

  1. Register the Oracle server as an endpoint using the Provisioning Manager.

    Use the Oracle Endpoint property sheet to register an Oracle system. During the registration process, the Provisioning Server identifies the Oracle system you want to administer and gathers information about it.

    Note: Use the native Oracle tools to verify that the Oracle system can be accessed using the given system login ID and password.

  2. Explore the objects that exist on the endpoint.

    After registering the server with the Provisioning Manager, you can explore its contents. Use the Explore and Correlate Endpoint dialog. The Exploration process finds all Oracle accounts, profiles, and roles. You can correlate the accounts with global users at this time or you can correlate them later.

  3. Correlate the explored accounts with global users.

    When you correlate accounts, the Provisioning Server creates or links the accounts on a endpoint with global users, as follows:

    1. The Provisioning Server attempts to match the Oracle name with each existing global user name. If a match is found, the Provisioning Server associates the Oracle account with the global user. If a match is not found, the Provisioning Server performs the next step.
    2. If the Create Global Users as Needed button is checked, the Provisioning Server creates a new global user and then associates the Oracle account with the global user. If the Create Global Users as Needed button is unchecked, the Provisioning Server performs the next step.
    3. The Provisioning Server associates the Oracle account with the [default user] object.
