23.1 Tasks After Configuring with a Third-Party Directory

Once configuration is complete, do the following: 1. Migrate data from one directory to the other as needed. This is described in Bootstrapping Data Between Directories on page 23-2. 2. Use the activate operation of the manageSyncProfiles command to enable the synchronization profile by entering the following command: manageSyncProfiles activate -profile profile_name

23.2 Typical Management of Integration with a Third-Party Directory

Management tasks typically include: ■ Managing synchronization profiles and mapping rules: – Creating new profiles. You create new profiles if you need to synchronize with an additional domain controller in a multiple domain environment. You can create new profiles by using existing profiles as templates. – Changing configurations attributes in the profile. – Disabling profiles to allow maintenance and then reenabling them. Disabling profiles stops synchronization related to that profile. ■ Managing mapping rules: – Creating new rules when additional attributes need to be synchronized. – Changing existing rules when the way attributes are synchronized needs to change. – Deleting or commenting out rules not required when a particular attribute is not required to be synchronized. ■ Managing access control. 23-2 Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrators Guide for Oracle Directory Integration Platform ■ Starting and stopping the Oracle directory server and the Oracle Directory Integration Platform.

23.2.1 Bootstrapping Data Between Directories

Bootstrapping is sometimes called data migration. To bootstrap data, perform the following steps after the third-party directory connector and plug-in configurations are complete:

1. Identify the data you want to migrate. You can choose to migrate all data in the

directory or only a subset of data.

2. Use the following command to disable the import and export synchronization

profile: manageSyncProfiles deactivate -profile profile_name

3. Bootstrap from one directory to another using the syncProfileBootstrap command.

Refer to Chapter 8, Bootstrapping a Directory in Oracle Directory Integration Platform for more information on bootstrapping. Once bootstrapping is accomplished, the profile status attributes are appropriately updated in the synchronization profile by the manageSyncProfiles command.

4. If you used LDIF file-based bootstrapping, then initialize the lastchangekey

value with updatechgnum operation of the manageSyncProfiles command as follows: manageSyncProfiles updatechgnum -profile profile_name This lastchangekey attribute should be set to the value of the last change number in the source directory before you started the bootstrap.

5. If two-way synchronization is required, then enable the export profile and make

sure the change logging option is enabled for the Oracle directory server. Change logging is controlled by the -l option while starting Oracle Internet Directory. By default, it is set to TRUE, meaning that change logging is enabled. If it is set to FALSE, then use the OID Control Utility to shut down the Oracle directory server, and then to start the server again with the change log enabled.

23.2.2 Managing a Third-Party Directory External Authentication Plug-in

This section explains how to delete, disable, and re-enable a third-party external authentication plug-in.

23.2.2.1 Deleting a Third-Party Directory External Authentication Plug-in

To delete a third-party external authentication plug-in, enter the following commands. After executing the commands, you will be prompted for a password. ldapdelete -h host -p port -D binddn -q \ See Also: Oracle Fusion Middleware Getting Started with Oracle Identity Management for instructions about how to use the Identity Management Grid Control Plug-in to manage integration with a third-party directory Managing Integration with a Third-Party Directory 23-3 cn=adwhencompare,cn=plugin,cn=subconfigsubentry ldapdelete -h host -p port -D binddn -q \ cn=adwhenbind,cn=plugin,cn=subconfigsubentry

23.2.2.2 Disabling a Third-Party External Authentication Plug-in

To disable a third-party external authentication plug-in: 1. Create an LDIF file with the following entries: dn: cn=adwhencompare,cn=plugin,cn=subconfigsubentry changetype: modify replace: orclpluginenable orclpluginenable: 0 dn: cn=adwhenbind,cn=plugin,cn=subconfigsubentry changetype: modify replace: orclpluginenable orclpluginenable: 0 2. Load the LDIF file with the ldapmodify command, as follows: ldapmodify -h host -p port -D binddn -q -f fileName

23.2.2.3 Re-enabling a Third-Party External Authentication Plug-in

To re-enable a third-party external authentication plug-in, use these two commands: 1. Create an LDIF file with the following entries: dn: cn=adwhencompare,cn=plugin,cn=subconfigsubentry changetype: modify replace: orclpluginenable orclpluginenable: 1 dn: cn=adwhenbind,cn=plugin,cn=subconfigsubentry changetype: modify replace: orclpluginenable orclpluginenable: 1 2. Load the LDIF file with the ldapmodify command, as follows: ldapmodify -h host -p port -D binddn -q -f fileName Note: You will be prompted for the password.
