11.9.2 IT Resources Type Definition Form

The IT Resources Type Definition form is in the Resource Management folder. You use the IT Resources Type Definition form to classify IT resource types, for example, AD, Microsoft Exchange, and Solaris. Oracle Identity Manager associates resource types with resource objects that it provisions to users and organizations. After you define an IT resource type on this form, it is available for selection when you define an IT resource. The type is displayed in the Create IT Resource and Manage IT Resource pages of Advanced Administration. IT resource types are templates for the IT resource definitions that reference them. If an IT resource definition references an IT resource type, the resource inherits all of the parameters and values in the IT resource type. The IT resource type is the general IT classification, for example, Solaris. The resource is an instance of the type, for example, Solaris for Statewide Investments. You must associate every IT resource definition with an IT resource type. Figure 11–32 shows the IT Resources Type Definition form. Figure 11–32 The IT Resources Type Definition Form Table 11–8 describes the fields of the IT Resources Type Definition form. See Also: See Chapter 2, Developing Adapters and Chapter 3, Using Adapters for more information about adapters and adapter tasks Table 11–8 Fields of the IT Resources Type Definition Form Field Name Description Server Type The name of the IT resource type Insert Multiple Specifies whether or not this IT resource type can be referenced by more than one IT resource 11-50 Oracle Fusion Middleware Developers Guide for Oracle Identity Manager

11.9.2.2 Tabs on the IT Resource Type Definition Form

After you save the basic information for a new IT resource type, and when an IT resource type is returned on a query, the fields on the tabs of the IT Resources Type Definition forms lower region are enabled. The IT Resources Type Definition form contains the following tabs: ■ IT Resource Type Parameter tab ■ IT Resource tab

11.9.2.2.1 IT Resource Type Parameter Tab You use the IT Resource Type Parameter tab

to specify default values and encryption settings for all connection parameters for the IT resource type, as shown in Figure 11–32 . Oracle recommends that you do not specify default values for passwords and encrypted fields. Parameters and values on this tab are inherited by all IT resources that reference this IT resource type. When you define a new parameter, the parameter and its values and encryption settings are added to the current IT resource type and to any new or existing IT resource definitions that reference this IT resource type. For an applicable resource definition, the new parameter is displayed in the Details and Parameters section of the Create IT Resource and Manage IT Resource pages of Advanced Administration. Adding a Parameter to an IT Resource Type To add a parameter to an IT Resource Type:

1. Click Add.

A new row is displayed in the IT Resource Type Parameter tab. 2. In the Field Name field, enter the name of the parameter. 3. In the Default Field Value field, enter a default value. This value is inherited by all IT resources that reference this IT resource type Note: If an IT resource must access an external resource but is not able to do so by using the network, you must associate it with a remote manager. For more information, see Installing and Configuring a Remote Manager in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrators Guide for Oracle Identity Manager. Note: You can customize the values and encryption settings for these parameters within each IT resource.
