2.1 Setting Up a Provisioning Project

The Provisioning view is only available for projects that contain a User Application driver. After you set up an Identity Manager project (see “Creating a Project” in the Designer for Identity Manager 3.5: Administration Guide) and configure an Identity Vault and driver set for the project, you add and configure a User Application driver.

2.1.1 Creating a User Application Driver

  1. Expand the project in Project view.

  2. Double-click System Model.

  3. Access the driver configuration page for a new driver by using one of these methods:

    • Right-click the driver set for your project and select New > Driver.

    • Click Provisioning in the Palette, then drag a User Application icon onto the canvas.

    • Click the driver set for your project and select Model > Driver > New.

    Designer displays the Driver Configuration Wizard.

  4. Select one of these driver configurations.

    Driver Configuration

    Description

    User Application 3.0.1

    Creates a Version 3.0.1 User Application driver.

    User Application 3.5

    Creates a Version 3.5 User Application driver.

    User Application 3.5.1

    Creates a Version 3.5.1 User Application driver.

    This procedure describes how to configure all versions and indicates where fields are specific to one version or another.

    Designer launches the following:

  5. Fill in the fields as follows:

    Property

    What to Specify

    Driver Name

    The name of an existing User Application driver (the driver specified during the User Application installation), or the name of a new User Application driver.

    Authentication ID

    The DN of the User Application Administrator.

    Application password/Reenter password

    The password for the User Application Administrator (above).

    Application context

    The name of the User Application context, for example, IDM.

    Host

    The host name or IP address of the application server where the Identity Manager User Application is deployed. This information is used:

    • To trigger workflows on the application server to connect to access workflows (terminate, retract, and so on).

    • To update cached data definitions.

    Port

    The port for the Host (above).

    Allow Override Initiator

    Applies to UserApplication Version 3.5 and Version 3.5.1

    This property applies to workflows that are started automatically. Typically workflows started automatically are started under the Admin identity. Selecting Yes for this property allows those workflows to be started under another user identity. For more information, see the Identity Manager User Application: Administration Guide.

  6. Click Finish.

2.1.2 About E-Mail Notification Templates

Identity Manager includes a standard set of e-mail notification templates (see “Working with E-Mail Templates” in the Identity Manager 3.5 User Application: Administration Guide). When you create a User Application driver, any e-mail notification templates that are missing from the standard set are replaced. However, existing e-mail notification templates, which might come from an earlier version of Identity Manager, are not updated. To replace existing templates with new templates:

  1. Expand the Outline view.

  2. In the Default Notification Collection, delete the e-mail notification templates that you want to replace .

  3. Right-click Default Notification Collection and select Update Templates.

    You can also use this command at any time to update e-mail notification templates without creating a new User Application driver.

  4. To deploy the e-mail notification templates to the Identity Vault, right-click Default Notification Collection and select Live > Deploy.
