7-6 Oracle Fusion Middleware Users Guide for Oracle Identity Manager

7.1.3 Tracking Registration Requests

You can track your request to register as an identity in Oracle Identity Manager. If the current status indicates success, then you can go to the Oracle Identity Manager Administrative and User Console, and then enter your username and password to log in to the Oracle Identity Manager Self Service. To track your registration:

1. In Oracle Identity Manager Administrative and User Console login page, click

Track Registration . The Request Status page is displayed.

2. In the Tracking ID field, enter the tracking ID that was assigned to your

registration request. Then click Submit. The Self-Registration Status page is displayed with the following details: ■ Request ID ■ Request submission date When the request is submitted and approval is not done, the date shown is the request submission date. In all cases, the date always reflects the last update date. ■ Current status Every self-registration request that is submitted has to go through approvals for it to be processed completely. See Approval Levels in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Developers Guide for Oracle Identity Manager for details about different approval levels. If a user tracks the current status of the request, the status is shown with a description of the stage the request is in. The status would be one of the following: Pending: This state indicates that the request is submitted and the approval is pending. In case of default approval, the following status message is displayed: Obtaining request-level approval for registration. The manager needs to approve this request. If the request level approval is pending. Once the request level approval is obtained, the following status message is displayed: Obtaining operation-level approval for registration. Rejected: This state indicates that the request is rejected during approval. The description indicates the reason of rejection. In case of default approval levels, if the request got disapproved at the request approval level, the following status message is displayed: Request approval rejected for registration. If the request gets disapproved at the operation approval level, the follow- ing status message is displayed: Operation approval rejected for registration.

Configuring and Using Self-Service Registration 7-7 Failed: This state indicates that the request is failed during submission. If the request submission is failed, the following status message is displayed: The request registration failed.

7.2 Configuring Auto-Approval for Self-Registration

End-user self-registration can be configured so that the system will automatically approve new registrations without human intervention. In the default Self-Registration request dataset, SelfCreateUserDataset.xml, the Organization field is designated as an approver-only field. This means that an approver must manually supply a value for the Organization field when approving the request. To configure the self-registration request dataset so that registrations are approved automatically, make a copy of the default dataset, remove the approver-only flag for the Organization field in the Self-Registration request dataset, and provide a link to the new template. To configure auto-approval for self-registration: 1. Create a new request template for Self-Register user by making a copy of the default template. Include the Organization attribute but add a restriction by specifying the organization that should be used. For information about configuring the request template, refer to Chapter 17, Managing Request Templates . 2. Modify the self-create user data set to remove the approver-only flag for the Organization attribute. For details about request datasets, refer to Creating a Request Dataset for the Resources in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Developers Guide for Oracle Identity Manager. For information about uploading the data set into MDS, refer to Uploading Request Datasets into MDS in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Developers Guide for Oracle Identity Manager. 3. Create two new approval policies, one at request level and the other at the operational level for self registration, with auto-approval configuration. For information about creating approval policy rules, see Creating Approval Policies on page 18-4. 4. Refer to the following to use the newly created template for self-registration: ■ The system takes a parameter T_ID=template name to use a custom template for self-registration. If the user clicks on the Register link, it takes the user to the following page: http:host:portoimfacespagesUSelf.jspx?E_TYPE=USELFOP_TYPE=S ELF_REGISTRATION Note: You can only track the status of Self Registration Requests from this page. Note: You must understand the concepts covered in Chapter 10, Managing Requests , before undertaking this task. 7-8 Oracle Fusion Middleware Users Guide for Oracle Identity Manager This page uses the default template. ■ To use a custom template, use T_ID at the end of the request, for example: http:host:portoimfacespagesUSelf.jspx?E_TYPE=USELFOP_TYPE=S ELF_REGISTRATIONT_ID=new_template This will display the self-registration page as per new_template instead of the default one.
