Understanding Active Directory Naming Formats August 20, 2012 by Jeff Schertz 24 Comments This basic article is intended to provide a background in different Active Directory user name and domain name formats and how they are used by applications for basic and integrated authentication process within Windows Server.
There are interesting new features now made available in Windows Server 2016 such as time based group membership, privileged access management, and others. Most will be covered in future posts. This post will detail how to install active directory on Windows Server 2016.Before the AD install however it is important to understand what is the minimum requirement to install windows server 2016.
The following are guidelines that you must apply while configuring reconciliation:.Before a target resource reconciliation run is performed, lookup definitions must be synchronized with the lookup fields of the target system. In other words, scheduled tasks for lookup field synchronization must be run before user reconciliation runs.If you are using Oracle Identity Manager release 11.1.2.
X or later, then before you perform a reconciliation run, create an application instance.The scheduled job for user reconciliation must be run before the scheduled job for reconciliation of deleted user data.In the identity reconciliation mode, if you want to configure group reconciliation, then note that group reconciliation does not cover reconciliation of updates to existing groups on the target system. If you modify the name of a group on the target system, then it is reconciled as a new group in Oracle Identity Manager.In the identity reconciliation mode, if you want to configure organization reconciliation, then note that:.Organization reconciliation does not cover reconciliation of updates to existing organization names on the target system. If you modify the name of an organization on the target system, then it is reconciled as a new organization in Oracle Identity Manager.Organization reconciliation events created by the scheduled job for organization reconciliation (Active Directory Organization Recon) must be successfully processed before the scheduled job for trusted source reconciliation (Active Directory User Trusted Recon) is run. In other words, organization reconciliation must be run and the organization records reconciled from the target system must be successfully linked in Oracle Identity Manager.On the target system, users are created in specific organizations. During trusted source reconciliation of user data, if you want OIM Users to be created in the same organizations on Oracle Identity Manager, then you must set the MaintainHierarchy attribute of the trusted source reconciliation scheduled task to yes.
In addition, you must configure organization reconciliation to run before trusted source reconciliation.In Oracle Identity Manager, the organization namespace is a flat namespace although it allows parent-child hierarchical relationships between organizations. Therefore, two Microsoft Active Directory OUs with the same name cannot be created in Oracle Identity Manager, even if they have different parent OUs on the target system.The name of an organization in Oracle Identity Manager cannot contain special characters, such as the equal sign (=) and comma (,). However, these special characters can be used in the name of an organization on the target system.The synchronization of organization lookup fields is independent of whether or not you configure organization reconciliation.If you are going to configure Microsoft AD LDS as the trusted source, then you must ensure that a value (either true or false) is set for the msDS-UserAccountDisabled field of each user record on the target system. In Microsoft ADAM, the msDS-UserAccountDisabled field does not have a default value.The Filter attribute must contain only attributes that are present in the Decode column of the lookup definition that holds reconciliation attribute mapping. The following are guidelines that you must apply while performing provisioning operations:.Before you perform provisioning operations, lookup definitions must be synchronized with the lookup fields of the target system.
In other words, scheduled tasks for lookup field synchronization must be run before provisioning operations.When both Microsoft Active Directory User Management and Microsoft Exchange connectors are deployed in your environment, do not specify a value for the Redirection Mail Id field.If you specify a value for the Redirection Mail Id field during a user provisioning operation, then a corresponding mail user account is created in Microsoft Exchange. When an Exchange mail user account is created through Active Directory, then some of the fields of an Exchange mail user account such as Maximum Receive Size cannot be updated. This also means that the Microsoft Exchange Connector cannot be used for further provisioning operations of this user. This is because the user is already created in Microsoft Exchange as a Mailuser.Note that the Microsoft Exchange connector cannot be used to convert Mailuser, mail user accounts created in the manner described in the preceding paragraph, to Mailbox as this is not allowed by the target. Therefore, it is recommended not to specify a value for the Redirection Mail Id field if both Microsoft Active Directory and Microsoft Exchange connector are deployed.Passwords for user accounts provisioned from Oracle Identity Manager must adhere to the password policy set in Microsoft Active Directory. Note:If you install Microsoft ADAM in a domain controller then it acquires all the policies of Microsoft Active Directory installed in the same domain controller. If you install Microsoft ADAM in a workgroup, then the local system policies are applied.In Microsoft Active Directory, password policies are controlled through password complexity rules.
These complexity rules are enforced when passwords are changed or created. While changing the password of a Microsoft Active Directory account by performing a provisioning operation on Oracle Identity Manager, you must ensure that the new password adheres to the password policies on the target system.
See Also:For more information about password guidelines applicable on the target system, visit the Microsoft TechNet Web site at.Some Asian languages use multibyte character sets. If the character limit for fields on the target system is specified in bytes, then the number of Asian-language characters that you can enter in a particular field may be less than the number of English-language characters that you can enter in the same field. The following example illustrates this point:Suppose you can enter 50 characters of English in the User Last Name field of the target system.
If you have configured the target system for the Japanese language, then you would not be able to enter more than 25 characters in the same field.The character length of target system fields must be taken into account when specifying values for the corresponding Oracle Identity Manager fields. For example, ensure that the value you specify for the User Login field in Oracle Identity Manager contains no more than 20 characters. This is because the sAMAccountName attribute in the target system (corresponding to the User Login field in Oracle Identity Manager) cannot contain more than 20 characters.On the target system, the Manager Name field accepts only DN values. Therefore, when you set or modify the Manager Name field on Oracle Identity Manager, you must enter the DN value.For example:cn=abc,ou=lmn,dc=corp,dc=com.If the value that you specify for the Manager Name field contains special characters, then you must prefix each special character with a backslash ( ). Note:The procedure to configure these scheduled tasks is described later in the guide.Active Directory Group Lookup ReconThis scheduled task is used to synchronize group lookup fields in Oracle Identity Manager with group-related data in the target system.Active Directory Organization Lookup ReconThis scheduled task is used to synchronize organization lookup fields in Oracle Identity Manager with organization-related data in the target system.describes the attributes of both scheduled jobs. Full reconciliation involves reconciling all existing user records from the target system into Oracle Identity Manager. After you deploy the connector, you must first perform full reconciliation.
By default, all target system records that are added or modified after the last reconciliation run are reconciled during the current reconciliation run. You can customize this process by specifying the subset of added or modified target system records that must be reconciled.You can perform limited reconciliation the first time you perform a reconciliation run. In other words, by using filters or by specifying a search base while configuring a scheduled job for full reconciliation, you can perform limited reconciliation. This section discusses the Batch Size, Batch Start, Sort By, and Sort Direction attributes of the scheduled jobs for target resource reconciliation (Active Directory User Target Recon) and trusted source reconciliation (Active Directory User Trusted Recon).By default, all target system records that are added or modified after the last reconciliation run are reconciled during the current reconciliation run.
Depending on the number of records to be reconciled, this process may require a large amount of time. In addition, if the connection breaks during reconciliation, then the process would take longer to complete. You can configure batched reconciliation to avoid such problems.To configure batched reconciliation, specify values for the following attributes:.Batch Size: Use this attribute to specify the number of records that must be included in each batch.Batch Start: Use this attribute to specify the record number from which batched reconciliation must begin.Number of Batches: Use this attribute to specify the total number of batches that must be reconciled. The default value of this attribute is All. If you do not want to implement batched reconciliation, then accept the default value. When you accept the default value, the values of the Batch Size, Batch Start, Sort By, and Sort Direction attributes are ignored.Sort By: Use this attribute to specify the name of the target system field by which the records in a batch must be sorted.Sort Direction: Use this attribute to specify the whether records being fetched must be sorted in ascending or descending order.
The value of this attribute can be either asc or desc.If batched reconciliation fails, then you only need to rerun the scheduled task without changing the values of the task attributes.After completing batched reconciliation, if you want to perform incremental reconciliation, then specify the value of the highestCommittedUSN attribute (see Step 3 of ) as the value of the Latest Token attribute. From the next reconciliation run onward, the reconciliation engine automatically enters a value for the Latest Token attribute.

It is recommended that you do not change the value of this attribute. If you manually specify a value for this attribute, then only user accounts whose uSNChanged value is greater than the Latest Token attribute value are reconciled.Number of BatchesEnter the number of batches that must be reconciled.Default value: AllSample value 20This attribute is used in conjunction with the Batch Size, Batch Start, Sort By, and Sort Direction attributes.

Note:To ensure that the target system user account that you create for performing connector operations has access to the Deleted Objects container in the target system, perform the procedure described in.Active Directory User Target Delete ReconThis scheduled job is used to reconcile data about deleted users in the target resource (account management) mode of the connector.
During a reconciliation run, for each deleted user account on the target system, the Active Directory resource is revoked for the corresponding OIM User.Active Directory User Trusted Delete ReconThis scheduled job is used to reconcile data about deleted users in the trusted source (identity management) mode of the connector. During a reconciliation run, for each deleted target system user account, the corresponding OIM User is deleted.describes the attributes of both scheduled jobs. Table 3-6 Attributes of the Scheduled Task for Reconciliation of Group and Organization Data AttributeDescriptionFilterExpression for filtering records. See for more information.Default value: NoneNote: While creating filters, ensure to use attributes specific to Groups or Organizational Units.Incremental Recon AttributeEnter the name of the target system attribute that holds last update-related number, non-decreasing value.
Create an organizational unit in Oracle Identity Manager with the name of the group (available in the target system), and then reconcile groups to this newly created organizational unit. In other words, suppose a scenario in which you want every target system group to be reconciled into an organization of its own.To perform group reconciliation in this scenario:. Ensure that the value of the Configuration Lookup parameter of the IT resource is set to Lookup.Configuration.ActiveDirectory.
Search for and open the Active Directory Group Recon scheduled job. Set the value of the Resource Object Name attribute of the scheduled job to Xellerate Organization. Note that you need not specify a value for the Organization Name attribute. If you specify a value for the Organization Name attribute, then the value is ignored. Run the Active Directory Group Recon scheduled job. After completion of the reconciliation run.
This section discusses the procedure to perform group reconciliation when all groups available on the target system must be reconciled under the same organizational unit in Oracle Identity Manager. The following is the procedure to run the scheduled job for organization reconciliation:. Ensure that the value of the Configuration Lookup parameter of the IT resource is set to Lookup.Configuration.ActiveDirectory.Trusted. Search for and open the Active Directory Organization Recon scheduled job.
Set the value of the Resource Object Name attribute of the scheduled job to Xellerate Organization. This creates organizations in Oracle Identity Manager after the scheduled job is run.
Run the Active Directory Organization Recon scheduled job. After completion of the reconciliation run.Clear the value in the Latest Token attribute of the scheduled job.Specify AD Organizational Unit as value of the Resource Object Name attribute of the scheduled job.
Set the value of the Configuration Lookup parameter of the IT resource to Lookup.Configuration.ActiveDirectory. Run the Active Directory Organization Recon scheduled job again. In the Administrative and User Console, verify whether the AD Organizational Unit Resource is provisioned to the organizations created in Step 3 of this section. Note:OIM created Organizations do not relate to the OU objects on the Directory Resources of Microsoft Active Directory.
The connector does not support the creation of any OU objects in OIM which can then be provisioned to Microsoft Active Directory. Instead, OUs can be created directly on the Directory Services of Microsoft Active Directory.In addition, as a best practice, ensure that all newly created OUs and other objects are fetched into OIM from the target system by performing a trusted resource reconciliation run. You can apply this procedure to configure the scheduled jobs for lookup field synchronization and reconciliation.To configure a scheduled job:.If you are using Oracle Identity Manager release 11.1.1:.Log in to the Administrative and User Console.On the Welcome to Oracle Identity Manager Self Service page, click Advanced in the upper-right corner of the page.On the Welcome to Oracle Identity Manager Advanced Administration page, in the System Management region, click Search Scheduled Jobs.If you are using Oracle Identity Manager release 11.1.2.

This number represents the number of times the scheduler tries to start the job before assigning the Stopped status to the job.Schedule Type: Depending on the frequency at which you want the job to run, select the appropriate schedule type. The following is a summary of the procedure to configure action scripts:.On the computer hosting the connector server, create the custom script (for example, PowerShell) in a directory. This script should be self-sufficient, that is, it should be able to create, maintain, and delete sessions with the target AD server and complete all actions against it.On the computer hosting Oracle Identity Manager, create a batch (.bat) file. This batch file runs on the computer hosting the connector server, which in turn calls the custom script (for example, PowerShell) available on the connector server host computer. Even if Oracle Identity Manager is installed on a UNIX-based computer, create a batch file.For a custom PowerShell script, the batch file runs the custom PowerShell script using the Powershell.exe program. For more information on Powershell.exe, see.Add entries to the Lookup.ActiveDirectory.UM.Configuration lookup definition.describes the entries to be added to the Lookup.ActiveDirectory.UM.Configuration lookup definition for running actions scripts.
Table 3-8 Lookup Entries for Running Action Scripts Code KeyDecodeTIMING Action LanguageScripting language of the script you want to run.For a custom shell script, enter Shell as the decode value.TIMING Action FileFull path and name to the file containing the script to be run.Note that the file containing the script must be located on the computer on which Oracle Identity Manager is running.TIMING Action TargetContext in which the script must be run.Enter Resource as the decode value.In the preceding table, TIMING defines when an action must be performed. An action can be invoked either before or after a create, update, or delete provisioning operation. Therefore, TIMING can be replaced with any of the following values:Before CreateBefore UpdateBefore DeleteAfter CreateAfter UpdateAfter DeleteAll the entries in define an action together. Therefore, to configure action scripts, all the entries must be defined.
Otherwise, no action is performed. Note:If you are using a PowerShell script, then before running the script by using the connector or Oracle Identity Manager, verify the following on the computer running the connector server:.You must be able to connect manually to the AD server with the values specified in the script using the PowerShell window without any issues.From the command prompt, navigate to the directory containing the batch file. Then, run the batch file with appropriate parameters and ensure that the PowerShell script runs on AD server without any issues. Note that you can pass process form fields to scripts that call the before or after action scripts. These process form fields must be present in the Lookup.ActiveDirectory.UM.ProvAttrMap lookup definition and be mapped to a corresponding target system attribute.
For example, you can pass the First Name process form field (present in the Lookup.ActiveDirectory.UM.ProvAttrMap lookup definition) to an action script by specifying 'givenName,' which is the name of the corresponding attribute in the target system. The following are important notes on running actions scripts:.Any errors encountered while running action scripts are ignored and are not propagated to Oracle Identity Manager.During create operations, all attributes part of process form are available to the script.During update operations, only the attribute that is being updated is available to the script.If other attributes are also required, then a new adapter calling ICProvisioningManager# updateAttributeValues(String objectType, String labels) must be created and used.
During adapter mapping in process task, add the form field labels of the dependent attributes.During delete operations, only the UID (GUID) attribute is available to the script. The following are the guidelines that you must apply or be aware of while configuring action scripts:.Your script file can contain scripts that include attributes present in the decode column of any of the following lookup definitions:Lookup.ActiveDirectory.UM.ProvAttrMapLookup.ActiveDirectory.GM.ProvAttrMapLookup.ActiveDirectory.OM.ProvAttrMap.All field names used in the scripts must be enclosed within%%.You can call any VB script from a shell and pass the process form fields.You cannot include the Password field in the script. This is because password is stored as a guarded string. Therefore, we do not get the exact password when we fetch values for the Password field.Addition of child table attributes belongs to the 'Update' category and not 'Create.' When you install the connector on Oracle Identity Manager, the direct provisioning feature is automatically enabled. This means that the process form is enabled when you install the connector.If you configure the connector for request-based provisioning, then the process form is suppressed and the object form is displayed. In other words, direct provisioning is disabled when you configure the connector for request-based provisioning.
If you want to revert to direct provisioning, then perform the steps described in.This following are types of provisioning operations:.Direct provisioning.Request-based provisioning. Figure 3-2 User Details Page.If you want to provision a target system account to an existing OIM User, then:.On the Welcome to Identity Administration page, search for the OIM User by selecting Users from the list on the left pane.From the list of users displayed in the search results, select the OIM User. The user details page is displayed on the right pane.On the user details page, click the Resources tab.From the Action menu, select Add Resource. Alternatively, you can click the add resource icon with the plus (+) sign. The Provision Resource to User page is displayed in a new window.On the Step 1: Select a Resource page, select AD User from the list and then click Continue. Shows the Step 1: Select a Resource page. The following are steps that the approver can perform:.
Log in to the Administrative and User Console. On the Welcome page, click Self-Service in the upper-right corner of the page. On the Welcome to Identity Manager Self Service page, click the Tasks tab. On the Approvals tab, in the first section, you can specify a search criterion for request task that is assigned to you. From the search results table, select the row containing the request you want to approve, and then click Approve Task. If you want to switch from direct provisioning back to request-based provisioning, then:.Log in to the Design Console.Enable the Auto Save Form feature as follows:.Expand Process Management, and then double-click Process Definition.Search for and open the AD User process definition.Select the Auto Save Form check box.Click the Save icon.If you want to enable end users to raise requests for themselves, then:.Expand Resource Management, and then double-click Resource Objects.Search for and open the AD User resource object.Select the Self Request Allowed check box.Click the Save icon.

See in Performing Self Service Tasks with Oracle Identity Manager for more information about creating a user.On the Account tab, click Request Accounts.In the Catalog page, search for and add to cart the application instance created in, and then click Checkout.Specify value for fields in the application form and then click Ready to Submit.Click Submit.If you want to provision entitlements, then:.On the Entitlements tab, click Request Entitlements.In the Catalog page, search for and add to cart the entitlement, and then click Checkout.Click Submit. Note:.The connector cannot be uninstalled if a valid access policy is present in Oracle Identity Manager. As a workaround, create a dummy resource type by using the design console. Remove the dependent access policy by directing it to a dummy resource type and then remove the dependency from the resource type that must be deleted.Uninstalling the connector removes only those IT resource definitions (and its IT resources) that are attached with the process form.
However, the IT resource of the Connector Server IT Resource Type Definition is not removed for Oracle Identity Manager.Scripting on this page enhances content navigation, but does not change the content in any way.
