The Platform Receiver examines the provisioning events it obtains from Event Journal Services and inspects the state of users and groups on the platform. Then the Platform Receiver calls Receiver scripts as needed to make the state of users and groups on the platform consistent with eDirectory.
The Identity Manager Fan-Out Driver provides a set of fully functional base scripts. You can extend these base scripts as appropriate for your needs. For example, if you have a third party system that uses its own user ID database, you can extend the base scripts to add new users to it based on membership in a special group, and to remove users from it when they are removed from the group.
The Receiver script functions are
Add User
Modify User
Delete User
Delete User Pending
Enable User
Disable User
Rename User
Add User to Group
Remove User from Group
Add Group
Modify Group
Delete Group
Delete Group Pending
Rename Group
NOTE:These are the functions performed by Receiver scripts. The actual implementation is platform-OS dependent. Multiple functions might be combined into a single script, or the steps of a single function might be distributed across several scripts. Not all functions are meaningful for all platform-OS types.
In addition to the scripts that perform actions on users and groups, there are utility scripts that are used for such functions as testing for the existence of a user and checking group membership.
The base scripts are extensively commented. For details on the operation of the base scripts, examine the scripts themselves. Become thoroughly familiar with the operation of a base script before you attempt to extend it.
