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 Lotus Notes driver includes many 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:

  1. Click to display the Identity Manager Administration page.

  2. 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.

  3. 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:

  1. Open a project in the Modeler.

  2. 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.

A.2.2 Entitlements

Entitlements act like an On/Off switch to control the account 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 the users. For more information, see the Identity Manager 4.0.2 Entitlements Guide.

The entitlements are divided into the following categories:

Entitlements Options

Use Account Entitlement: Select True to enable the driver to manage Notes accounts based on the driver’s defined entitlements.

  • When Account Entitlement Revoked: If the Use Account Entitlement option is True, specify what action is taken in Notes when a User Account Entitlement is revoked.

User Group Entitlement: Select whether the driver manages groups with the group entitlement. True allows the driver to manage Notes groups based on the notesGroup2 Entitlement. False does not allow the driver to manage Notes groups based on the notesGroup2Entitlement.

Advance Settings: Select show to display the entitlement options that allow or deny additional functionality like data collection. These settings should rarely be changed.

Data Collection

Data collection enables the Identity Report Module to gather information to generate reports. For more information, see the Identity Reporting Module Guide.

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 groups: Select Yes to allow data collection by the Data Collection Service through the Managed System Gateway driver for groups.

Role Mapping

The Role Mapping Administrator allows you to map business roles with IT roles. For more information, see the Novell Identity Manager Role Mapping Administrator 4.0.2 User Guide.

Enable role mapping: Select Yes to make this driver visible to the Role Mapping Administrator.

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

Allow mapping of groups: Select Yes if you want to allow mapping of groups in the Role Mapping Administrator.

Resource Mapping

The Roles Based Provisioning Module allows you to map resources to users. For more information, see the User Application: User Guide.

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.

Parameter Format

Format for 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 Group entitlement: Select 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.

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

A.2.3 Password Synchronization

These GCVs enable password synchronization between the Identity Vault and the Notes 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, you should edit the Password Management Options on the Server Variables tab rather than under the GCVs. The Server Variables page has a better view of the relationship between the different GCVs.

For more information about how to use the Password Management GCVs, see Configuring Password Flow in the Identity Manager 4.0.2 Password Management Guide.

Connected System or Driver Name: Specify the name of the LDAP 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 passwords 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, attempts 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, notifies the user by e-mail of any password synchronization failures.
