A.2 Global Configuration Values

Global configuration values (GCVs) are values that can be used by the driver to control functionality. GCVs are defined on the driver or on the driver set. Driver set GCVs can be used by all drivers in the driver set. Driver GCVs can be used only by the driver on which they are defined.

The SAP User Management Fan-Out driver includes several predefined GCVs. You can also add your own if you discover you need additional ones as you implement policies in the driver.

To access the driver’s GCVs in iManager:

Click to display the Identity Manager Administration page.
Open the driver set that contains the driver whose properties you want to edit:
1. In the Administration list, click Identity Manager Overview.
2. If the driver set is not listed on the Driver Sets tab, use the Search In field to search for and display the driver set.
3. Click the driver set to open the Driver Set Overview page.
Locate the driver icon, click the upper right corner of the driver icon to display the Actions menu, then click Edit Properties.

or

To add a GCV to the driver set, click Driver Set, then click Edit Driver Set properties.

To access the driver’s GCVs in Designer:

Open a project in the Modeler.
Right-click the driver icon or line, then select Properties > Global Configuration Values.

or

To add a GCV to the driver set, right-clickthe driver set icon , then click Properties > GCVs.

The Global Configuration Values are divided into categories:

A.2.1 Entitlements

There are multiple sections in the Entitlements tab. Depending on which packages you installed, different options are enabled and displayed. This section documents all of the options.

Entitlements Options

Use User Account Entitlement: Entitlements act like an on/off switch to control access. When the driver is enabled for entitlements, accounts are only created and removed or disabled when the account entitlement is granted to or revoked from users.

Select True to enable the user account entitlement. You must have an entitlement agent configured in your environment. For more information about entitlements, see the NetIQ Identity Manager Entitlements Guide and Section 8.1, Entitlement Agents.

When account entitlement revoked: Select which action is taken in the SAP system when a User Account Entitlement is revoked. The options are to disable the account or to delete the account.

Use Role (ActivityGroup) Entitlement: Enables the Role entitlement that is included with the driver. Select True to enable this entitlement.

Use Profile Entitlement: Enables the Profile entitlement that is included with the driver. Select True to enable this entitlement.

Advanced settings: Select show to display all of the advanced settings. The advanced settings enable additional functionality in the driver such as data collection or enabling the driver to work with Catalog Administrator. If you changes these settings from the default, you risk disabling the additional functionality.

Data Collection

Data collection enables the Identity Report Module to gather information to generate reports. For more information, see the NetIQ Identity Reporting: User’s Guide to Running Reports.

Enable data collection: Select Yes to enable data collection for the driver through the Data Collection Service by the Managed System Gateway driver. If you are not going to run reports on data collected by this driver, select No.

Allow data collection from user accounts: Select Yes to allow data collection by the Data Collection Service through the Managed System Gateway driver for the user accounts.

Allow data collection from roles (ActivityGroups): Select Yes to allow data collection by the Data Collection Service through the Managed System Gateway driver for groups.

Allow mapping of user accounts: Select Yes if you want to allow mapping of user accounts in Catalog Administrator. An account is required before a role, profile, or license can be granted through Catalog Administrator.

Allow mapping of roles (ActivityGroups): Select Yes if you want allow mapping of roles (ActivityGroups) in Catalog Administrator.

Allow mapping of profiles: Select Yes if you want to allow mapping of profiles in Catalog Administrator.

Resource Mapping

The Roles Based Provisioning Module allows you to map resources to users. For more information, see the NetIQ Identity Manager - User’s Guide to the Identity Applications.

Enables resource mapping: Select Yes to make this driver visible to the Roles Based Provisioning Module.

Allow mapping of user accounts: Select Yes if you want to allow mapping of user accounts in the Roles Based Provisioning Module. An account is required before a role, profile, or license can be granted.

Allow mapping of roles (ActivityGroups): Select Yes if you want to allow mapping of roles (ActivityGroups) in the Roles Based Provisioning Module.

Allow mapping of profiles: Select Yes if you want to allow mapping of profiles in the Roles Based Provisioning Module.

Parameter Format

Format for User Account entitlement: Select the parameter format the entitlement agent must use when granting this entitlement. The options are Identity Manager 4 or Legacy.

Format for Role (ActivityGroup) entitlement: Select the parameter format the entitlement agent must use when granting this entitlement. The options are Identity Manager 4 or Legacy.

Format for Profile entitlement: Specify the parameter format the entitlement agent must use when granting this entitlement. The options are Identity Manager 4 or Legacy.

Entitlement Extensions

User account extensions: The content of this field is added below the entitlement elements in the EntitlementConfiguraiton resource object.

Role (ActivityGroup) extension: The content of this field is added below the entitlement element in the EntitlementConfiguration resource object.

Profile extensions: The content of this field is added below the entitlement element in the EntitlementConfiguration resource object.

A.2.2 Password Synchronization

These GCVs enable password synchronization between the Identity Vault and the SAP system.

In Designer, you must click the icon next to a GCV to edit it. This displays the Password Synchronization Options dialog box for a better view of the relationship between the different GCVs.

In iManager, to edit the Password management options go to Driver Properties > Global Configuration Values, and then edit it in your Password synchronization policy tab.

For more information about how to use the Password Management GCVs, see Configuring Password Flow in the NetIQ Identity Manager Password Management Guide.

Connected System or Driver Name: Specify the name of the SAP system or the driver name. This valued is used by the e-mail notification template to identity the source of the notification message.

Application accepts passwords from Identity Manager: If True, allows passwords to flow from the Identity Manager data store to the connected system.

Identity Manager accepts passswords from application: If True, allows passwords to flow from the connected system to Identity Manager.

Publish passwords to NDS password: Use the password from the connected system to set the non-reversible NDS password in eDirectory.

Publish passwords to Distribution Password: Use the password from the connected system to set the NMAS Distribution Password used for Identity Manager password synchronization.

Require password policy validation before publishing passwords: If True, applies NMAS password policies during publish password operations. The password is not written to the data store if it does not comply.

Reset user’s external system password to the Identity Manager password on failure: If True, on a publish Distribution Password failure, attempt to reset the password in the connected system by using the Distribution Password from the Identity Manager data store.

Notify the user of password synchronization failure via e-mail: If True, notify the user by e-mail of any password synchronization failures.
