1About the RSA Authentication ManagerConnectorThis chapter introduces the RSA Authentication Manager connector.This chapter discusses the following topics: Introduction to RSA Authentication Manager Connector Certified Components Usage Recommendation Certified Languages Connector Architecture Features of the Connector Lookup Definitions Used During Reconciliation and Provisioning Connector Objects Used During Reconciliation Connector Objects Used During Provisioning Roadmap for Deploying and Using the Connector1.1 Introduction to RSA Authentication Manager ConnectorOracle Identity Manager automates access rights management, security, andprovisioning of IT resources. Oracle Identity Manager connectors are used tointegrate Oracle Identity Manager with external, identity-aware applications. This guidediscusses the connector that enables you to use RSA Authentication Manager as amanaged (target) resource of Oracle Identity Manager.Note:At some places in this guide, RSA Authentication Manager has been referredto as the target system.In the account management (target resource) mode of the connector, informationabout users created or modified directly on the target system can be reconciled intoOracle Identity Manager. In addition, you can use Oracle Identity Manager to performprovisioning operations on the target system.1.2 Certified ComponentsTable 1-1 lists the certified components for the target system.1-1

Chapter 1Connector ArchitectureFigure 1-1Connector ArchitectureThe RSA Authentication Manager connector is implemented by using the IdentityConnector Framework (ICF). The ICF is a component that provides basic reconciliationand provisioning operations that are common to all Oracle Identity Managerconnectors. In addition, ICF provides common features that developers wouldotherwise need to implement on their own, such as connection pooling, buffering, timeouts, and filtering. The ICF is shipped along with Oracle Identity Manager. Therefore,you need not configure or modify the ICF.This connector is used to manage users and tokens on RSA Authentication Managerthrough Oracle Identity Manager. This connector integrates Oracle Identity Managerwith the target system with the help of a Java API.The target system can be configured to run in the Account Management mode.Account management is also known as target resource management. In this mode,the target system is used as a target resource and the connector enables the followingoperations: Provisioning:Provisioning involves creating, updating, or deleting users and tokens on the targetsystem through Oracle Identity Manager. The connector makes use of the JavaAPI to connect to the RSA AM Server, and in turn provision accounts and tokens.Token provisioning operations are performed in the same manner. A separate setof Oracle Identity Manager adapters is used during token provisioning operations.During user provisioning, data received in the create/update operation will bepassed to the target system APIs. RSA APIs accept provisioning data, carry outthe required operation on the target system, and then return the response fromthe target system back to the connector. The connector will return the response toOracle Identity Manager. Target source reconciliation:During reconciliation, the connector fetches data (using scheduled jobs) aboutusers created or modified directly on the target system into Oracle IdentityManager. This data is used to add or modify resources allocated to OIM Users.1-4

Chapter 1Features of the ConnectorSimilarly, during reconciliation, the RSA APIs will accept the search criteria,including filters, and return the records to the connector. The connector supportssearching for users, tokens, roles, groups, identity sources, security domains andRADIUS profiles on the target.1.6 Features of the ConnectorThe following are features of the connector: Support for Reconciliation and Provisioning of RSA Authentication Manager UserAccounts and Tokens Full and Incremental Reconciliation Batched Reconciliation Limited (Filtered) Reconciliation Enable and Disable User Accounts and Tokens Reconciliation of Deleted User Accounts and Unassigned Tokens EJB-Based Communication with the Target System Standard and Custom Attribute Mapping for Reconciliation and Provisioning. Transformation and Validation of Account Data Support for Setting a PIN and the Token Lost Attribute Connection Pooling1.6.1 Support for Reconciliation and Provisioning of RSAAuthentication Manager User Accounts and TokensYou can use the connector to reconcile and provision RSA Authentication Manageruser accounts and tokens. The connector provides separate process forms andresource objects for user accounts and token operations.1.6.2 Full and Incremental ReconciliationIn full reconciliation, all records are fetched from the target system to Oracle IdentityManager. In incremental reconciliation, only records that are added or modified afterthe last reconciliation run are fetched into Oracle Identity Manager.You can switch from incremental to full reconciliation at any time after you deploy theconnector.See Full Reconciliation.1.6.3 Batched ReconciliationYou can break down a reconciliation run into batches by specifying the number ofrecords that must be included in each batch.See Batched Reconciliation.1-5

Chapter 1Features of the Connector1.6.4 Limited (Filtered) ReconciliationTo limit or filter the records that are fetched into Oracle Identity Manager during areconciliation run, you can specify the subset of added or modified target systemrecords that must be reconciled.See Limited Reconciliation.1.6.5 Enable and Disable User Accounts and TokensAccount Start and Account Expire are two user attributes on the target system. Fora particular user on the target system, if the Account Expire date is less than thecurrent date, then the account is in the Disabled state. Otherwise, the account is in theEnabled state. When the record of this user is reconciled into Oracle Identity Manager,the user's state (RSA resource) in Oracle Identity Manager matches the user's state onthe target system. In addition, through a provisioning operation, you can set the valueof the Account Expire date to the current date or a date in the past.Alternatively, you can search for and open the Accounts page on Oracle IdentityManager. Click Enable/Disable to enable or disable user accounts or tokens.Note:The Enabled or Disabled state of a user account or a token is not related tothe Locked or Unlocked state of the account.1.6.6 Reconciliation of Deleted User Accounts and Unassigned TokensYou can configure the connector for reconciliation of deleted user accounts andunassigned tokens. In target resource mode, if a user record is deleted or a tokenis unassigned on the target system, then the corresponding RSA resource is revokedfrom the OIM User.See Scheduled Jobs for Reconciliation of Deleted Token and User Records.1.6.7 EJB-Based Communication with the Target SystemThe connector supports EJB-based communication between Oracle Identity Managerand the target system. This is a secure connection. By using the connectionTypeparameter of the IT Resource, you can specify the type of communication (EJB) to beestablished with the target system.1.6.8 Standard and Custom Attribute Mapping for Reconciliation andProvisioningYou can create mappings for attributes that are not included in the list of defaultattribute mappings. These attributes can be custom attributes that you add on thetarget system.See Extending the Functionality of the RSA Authentication Manager Connector.1-6

Chapter 1Lookup Definitions Used During Reconciliation and Provisioning1.6.9 Transformation and Validation of Account DataYou can configure validation of account data that is brought into or sent from OracleIdentity Manager during reconciliation and provisioning. In addition, you can configuretransformation of account data that is brought into Oracle Identity Manager duringreconciliation.The following sections provide more information: Configuring Transformation of Data During Reconciliation Configuring Validation of Data During Reconciliation and Provisioning1.6.10 Support for Setting a PIN and the Token Lost AttributeYou can use the connector to set the following: A PIN for the token that is assigned to a user.Note:You are compulsorily required to assign a value for the PIN attribute ofeach token in order to ensure that provisioning takes place as expected. The Token Lost attribute when the token device is lost.1.6.11 Connection PoolingA connection pool is a cache of objects that represent physical connections tothe target. Oracle Identity Manager connectors can use these connections tocommunicate with target systems. At run time, the application requests a connectionfrom the pool. If a connection is available, then the connector uses it and then returnsit to the pool. A connection returned to the pool can again be requested for andused by the connector for another operation. By enabling the reuse of connections,the connection pool helps reduce connection creation overheads like network latency,memory allocation, and authentication.One connection pool is created for each IT resource. For example, if you have three ITresources for three installations of the target system, then three connection pools willbe created, one for each target system installation.See Setting up the Lookup Definition for Connection Pooling.1.7 Lookup Definitions Used During Reconciliation andProvisioningLookup definitions used during reconciliation and provisioning can either besynchronized with the target system or preconfigured. The following sections containdetailed information: About Lookup Field Synchronization1-7

Chapter 1Lookup Definitions Used During Reconciliation and Provisioning Lookup Definitions Synchronized with the Target System Preconfigured Lookup Definitions1.7.1 About Lookup Field SynchronizationDuring a provisioning operation, you use a lookup field on the process form to specifya single value from a set of values. For example, you use the Identity Source lookupfield to select an identity source during a provisioning operation performed through theAdministrative and User Console. When you deploy the connector, lookup definitionscorresponding to the lookup fields on the target system are automatically created inOracle Identity Manager. Lookup field synchronization involves copying additions orchanges made to the target system lookup fields into the lookup de
