22.1 About the Provisioning Request Configuration plug-in

To configure a provisioning request definition, you need to use the Provisioning Request Configuration plug-in to iManager. This plug-in lets you bind the provisioning request definition to a provisioned resource, specify the runtime characteristics of the associated workflow, and enable it for use. In this release, provisioned resources are mapped to Identity Manager entitlements.

NOTE:You can also run provisioning request definitions that map directly to attributes in the identity vault. However, the installed templates do not support this type of resource, since they are based on entitlements.

You can find the Provisioning Request Configuration plug-in in the Identity Manager category in iManager. The plug-in includes the Provisioning Requests task in the Provisioning Request Configuration role. The Provisioning Requests task consists of these panels:

Description

Provisioning Driver Selection

Gives you the opportunity to select an Identity Manager user application driver. The driver contains a set of predeployed provisioning request definitions, so you need to pick a driver before you can begin configuring your provisioning requests.

Provisioning Request Configuration

Provides tools that let you:

  • Browse the available provisioning request definitions and select one to configure

  • Create a new provisioning request definition based on an existing definition

  • Set the properties of a provisioning request definition

  • Assign the provisioning request definition to a provisioned resource

  • Edit the addressee and timeout settings for each activity in the associated workflow

When you choose to create a new provisioning request or edit an existing one, the plug-in runs the Provisioning Request Configuration Wizard.
