Acquire an Oracle Application System Using the Provisioning Manager

You must acquire the Oracle Applications system before you can administer it with CA IdentityMinder.

From the Endpoint type task view

1. Register the Oracle Applications system as an endpoint in Provisioning Manager.

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

   Note: Use the native Oracle tools to verify that the Oracle Applications 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 in CA IdentityMinder, you can explore its contents using the Explore and Correlate Endpoint dialog. The Exploration process finds all Oracle Applications users. You can correlate the accounts with global users at this time or you can correlate them later. The topic “Explore and Correlate Endpoint Dialog” in Provisioning Manager help provides a complete explanation of this dialog.

3. Correlate the explored accounts with global users.

   When you correlate accounts, the CA IdentityMinder creates or links the accounts on an endpoint with global users as follows:

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

Note: Use the User Console to add or remove the Oracle roles to any of the Oracle Account Templates. When you add or remove the Oracle roles to Oracle Account Template and execute the Synchronize Accounts with Account Templates task using the Provisioning Manager, the eTORACompoundRoles attribute does not hold any value causing problems such as automatic detachment of Oracle roles.
