IDM 7.2.2

Connector reference

Installation and configuration reference for the connectors that are supported with ForgeRock® Identity Management software. This reference includes installation and configuration instructions for each connector, and examples that demonstrate how to use the connectors in a deployment.

Connectors continue to be updated and released outside IDM. The latest connector reference for all ICF connectors is available here.

Connectors let you connect to external resources such as LDAP, Active Directory, flat files, and others. This guide describes all the connectors supported with IDM, and how to configure them.

Configurations shown in this guide are simplified to show essential aspects. Not all resources support all IDM operations; however, the resources shown here support most of the CRUD operations, reconciliation, and liveSync.

Resources are external systems, databases, directory servers, and other sources of identity data, that are managed and audited by IDM. To connect to resources, IDM loads the ForgeRock Open Identity Connector Framework (ICF). ICF avoids the need to install agents to access resources, instead using the resources' native protocols. For example, ICF connects to database resources using the database’s Java connection libraries or JDBC driver, to directory servers over LDAP, and to UNIX systems over ssh.

ForgeRock Identity Platform™ serves as the basis for our simple and comprehensive Identity and Access Management solution. We help our customers deepen their relationships with their customers, and improve the productivity and connectivity of their employees and partners. For more information about ForgeRock and about the platform, see https://www.forgerock.com.

The ForgeRock Common REST API works across the platform to provide common ways to access web resources and collections of resources.

ForgeRock Identity Connector Framework (ICF)

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

ICF provides a common interface to allow identity services access to the resources that contain user information. IDM loads the ICF API as one of its OSGi modules. ICF uses connectors to separate the IDM implementation from the dependencies of the resource to which IDM is connecting. A specific connector is required for each remote resource. Connectors can run locally (on the IDM host) or remotely.

Local connectors are loaded by ICF as regular bundles in the OSGi container. Most connectors run locally. Remote connectors must be executed on a remote connector server . If a resource requires access libraries that cannot be included as part of the IDM process, you must use a connector server. For example, ICF connects to Microsoft Active Directory through a remote connector server that is implemented as a .NET service.

Connections to remote connector servers are configured in a single connector info provider configuration file, located in your project’s conf/ directory.

Connectors themselves are configured through provisioner files. One provisioner file must exist for each connector. Provisioner files are named provisioner.openicf-name where name corresponds to the name of the connector, and are also located in the conf/ directory.

A number of sample connector configurations are available in the openidm/samples/example-configurations/provisioners directory. To use these connectors, edit the configuration files as required, and copy them to your project’s conf/ directory.

The following figure shows how IDM connects to resources by using connectors and remote connector servers. The figure shows one local connector (LDAP) and two remote connectors (Scripted SQL and PowerShell). In this example, the remote Scripted SQL connector uses a remote Java connector server. The remote PowerShell connector always requires a remote .NET connector server.

The figure shows the basic architecture of ICF with local and remote connectors.
Figure 1. How IDM Uses the ICF Framework and Connectors

Connectors that use the .NET framework must run remotely. Java connectors can be run locally or remotely. You might run a Java connector remotely for security reasons (firewall constraints), for geographical reasons, or if the JVM version that is required by the connector conflicts with the JVM version that is required by IDM.

ICF configuration properties used by IDM

Use the following properties (in resolver/boot.properties) to specify how ICF should manage operations on external resources:

openidm.icf.retry.enabled

Specifies whether ICF operations should be retried, if network connectivity is lost. False by default.

openidm.icf.retry.delaySeconds

Delay, in seconds, between ICF retry operations. 10 by default.

openidm.icf.retry.updates.enabled

Specifies whether ICF update operations should be retried, if network connectivity is lost. False by default.

openidm.icf.retry.maxRetries

If openidm.icf.retry.enabled=true, specifies the maximum number of ICF operation retry attempts when network connectivity is lost. 12 by default.

The Adobe Marketing Cloud connector lets you manage profiles in an Adobe Campaign data store. The connector supports a subset of the OpenICF operations, as listed in OpenICF Interfaces Implemented by the Adobe Marketing Cloud Connector.

To use this connector, you need an Adobe ID.

Before you start

Configure a new integration on AdobeIO, as shown in the following steps. Note that these steps assume a specific version of the AdobeIO user interface. For information on the current version, see the corresponding Adobe documentation.

The integration requires a public certificate and private key that will be used to sign the JWT token.

  1. You can use IDM’s generated self-signed certificate and private key to test the connector. In a production environment, use a CA-signed certificate and key.

    Export IDM’s self-signed certificate as follows:

    • Export the certificate and key from JCEKS to standardized format PKCS #12:

      keytool \
      -importkeystore \
      -srckeystore /path/to/openidm/security/keystore.jceks \
      -srcstoretype jceks \
      -destkeystore /path/to/keystore.p12 \
      -deststoretype PKCS12 \
      -srcalias openidm-localhost \
      -deststorepass changeit \
      -destkeypass changeit
    • Export the certificate:

      openssl pkcs12 \
      -in /path/to/keystore.p12 \
      -nokeys \
      -out /path/to/cert.pem
    • Export the unencrypted private key:

      openssl pkcs12 \
      -in /path/to/keystore.p12 \
      -nodes \
      -nocerts \
      -out /path/to/key.pem
  2. Log in to https://console.adobe.io/.

  3. Click Integrations > New Integration.

  4. Click Access an API > Continue.

  5. Under the Experience Cloud item, click Adobe Campaign > Continue, then click New integration > Continue.

  6. Enter a name and short description for the new integration. For example, IDM-managed.

  7. Drag and drop your public certificate file into the Public keys certificates area. Alternatively, click Select a File, and browse to the file location.

  8. Select a license, then click Create Integration.

  9. Select Continue to integration details to obtain the Client Credentials required by the connector.

    You will need these details for the connector configuration.

For a list of all the configurable properties, see Adobe Marketing Cloud Connector Configuration.

When your connector is configured correctly, you can test its status by running the following command:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request POST \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system?_action=test"
[
  {
    "name": "adobe",
    "enabled": true,
    "config": "config/provisioner.openicf/adobe",
    "connectorRef": {
      "bundleName": "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.adobecm-connector",
      "connectorName": "org.forgerock.openicf.acm.ACMConnector",
      "bundleVersion": "[1.5.0.0,1.6.0.0)"
    },
    "displayName": "Adobe Marketing Cloud Connector",
    "objectTypes": [
      "__ALL__",
      "account"
    ],
    "ok": true
  }
]

A status of "ok": true indicates that the connector can reach the configured Adobe integration.

OpenICF Interfaces Implemented by the Adobe Marketing Cloud Connector

The Adobe Marketing Cloud Connector implements the following OpenICF interfaces. For additional details, see ICF interfaces:

Create

Creates an object and its uid.

Delete

Deletes an object, referenced by its uid.

Schema

Describes the object types, operations, and options that the connector supports.

Script on Connector

Enables an application to run a script in the context of the connector.

Any script that runs on the connector has the following characteristics:

  • The script runs in the same execution environment as the connector and has access to all the classes to which the connector has access.

  • The script has access to a connector variable that is equivalent to an initialized instance of the connector. At a minimum, the script can access the connector configuration.

  • The script has access to any script arguments passed in by the application.

Search

Searches the target resource for all objects that match the specified object class and filter.

Test

Tests the connector configuration.

Testing a configuration checks all elements of the environment that are referred to by the configuration are available. For example, the connector might make a physical connection to a host that is specified in the configuration to verify that it exists and that the credentials that are specified in the configuration are valid.

This operation might need to connect to a resource, and, as such, might take some time. Do not invoke this operation too often, such as before every provisioning operation. The test operation is not intended to check that the connector is alive (that is, that its physical connection to the resource has not timed out).

You can invoke the test operation before a connector configuration has been validated.

Update

Updates (modifies or replaces) objects on a target resource.

OpenICF Interfaces Implemented by the AS400 Connector

The AS400 Connector implements the following OpenICF interfaces. For additional details, see ICF interfaces:

Create

Creates an object and its uid.

Delete

Deletes an object, referenced by its uid.

Schema

Describes the object types, operations, and options that the connector supports.

Script on Connector

Enables an application to run a script in the context of the connector.

Any script that runs on the connector has the following characteristics:

  • The script runs in the same execution environment as the connector and has access to all the classes to which the connector has access.

  • The script has access to a connector variable that is equivalent to an initialized instance of the connector. At a minimum, the script can access the connector configuration.

  • The script has access to any script arguments passed in by the application.

Search

Searches the target resource for all objects that match the specified object class and filter.

Test

Tests the connector configuration.

Testing a configuration checks all elements of the environment that are referred to by the configuration are available. For example, the connector might make a physical connection to a host that is specified in the configuration to verify that it exists and that the credentials that are specified in the configuration are valid.

This operation might need to connect to a resource, and, as such, might take some time. Do not invoke this operation too often, such as before every provisioning operation. The test operation is not intended to check that the connector is alive (that is, that its physical connection to the resource has not timed out).

You can invoke the test operation before a connector configuration has been validated.

Update

Updates (modifies or replaces) objects on a target resource.

AWS connector

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a web service for securely controlling access to AWS services. The AWS connector lets you manage and synchronize accounts between AWS and IDM managed user objects. An AWS administrator account is required for this connector to work.

Before you start

Before you configure the connector, log in to your AWS administrator account and note the following:

Access Key ID

The access key ID is a globally unique IAM user identifier to access the AWS service API.

Secret Key ID

The secret key is a password to access the AWS service API.

Role ARN

Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the role which has IAM Full Access permissions.

Credentials Expiration

Time (in seconds) to configure the duration in which the temporary credentials would expire. Optional.

Region

The region where the AWS instance is hosted.

Install the AWS connector

Download the connector .jar file from the ForgeRock BackStage download site.

  • If you are running the connector locally, place it in the /path/to/openidm/connectors directory, for example:

    mv ~/Downloads/aws-connector-1.5.20.15.jar /path/to/openidm/connectors/
  • If you are using a remote connector server (RCS), place it in the /path/to/openicf/connectors directory on the RCS.

Configure the AWS connector

Create a connector configuration using the admin UI:

  1. Select Configure > Connectors and click New Connector.

  2. Enter a Connector Name.

  3. Select AWS Connector - 1.5.20.15 as the Connector Type.

  4. Provide the Base Connector Details.

  5. Click Save.

When your connector is configured correctly, the connector displays as Active in the admin UI.

Alternatively, test that the configuration is correct by running the following command:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request POST \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/aws?_action=test"
{
  "name": "aws",
  "enabled": true,
  "config": "config/provisioner.openicf/aws",
  "connectorRef": {
    "bundleVersion": "[1.5.0.0,1.6.0.0)",
    "bundleName": "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.aws-connector",
    "connectorName": "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.aws.AwsConnector"
  },
  "displayName": "AWS Connector",
  "objectTypes": [
    "__ACCOUNT__",
    "__ALL__"
  ],
  "ok": true
}

If the command returns "ok": true, your connector has been configured correctly, and can authenticate to the AWS system.

Use the AWS connector

The following AWS account attributes are supported by the AWS connector:

Attribute Description

__USER__

The username of the user. Only alphanumeric characters, and +=,.@_- symbols are supported. Required.

UserId

Auto-generated user id.

Path

The path to the created user (used to define a hierarchy-based structure). Default value is /.

__PASSWORD__

Password for the user account.

Arn

Amazon Resource Name (ARN), used to uniquely identify the AWS resource. For more information on ARNs, see Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) in the AWS documentation.

CreatedDate

Date of profile creation, in ISO 8601 date-time format.

PasswordLastUsed

Date the password was last used.

PermissionBoundary

The ARN of the policy that is used to set the permissions boundary for the user.

Tags

A list of customizable key-value pairs. For more information about tags on AWS, see Tagging AWS resources in the AWS documentation. For example:

"Tags": [{
    "Key": "Department",
    "Value": "Accounting"
}]

You can use the AWS connector to perform the following actions on an AWS account:

Create an AWS user

The following example creates a user with the minimum required attributes:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \

Cerner connector

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

Cerner is a healthcare-related service which provides an integrated healthcare IT solution for large healthcare providers. The Cerner connector lets you manage and synchronize accounts between Cerner and IDM managed user objects. A Cerner system account is required for this connector to work.

Before you start

Before you configure the connector, log in to your Cerner system account and note the following:

Bearer token

The bearer token associated with your system account.

Tenant

Your Cerner tenant ID.

Region

The Cerner Cloud region where the tenant resides.

Install the Cerner connector

Download the connector .jar file from the ForgeRock BackStage download site.

  • If you are running the connector locally, place it in the /path/to/openidm/connectors directory, for example:

    mv ~/Downloads/cerner-connector-1.5.20.15.jar /path/to/openidm/connectors/
  • If you are using a remote connector server (RCS), place it in the /path/to/openicf/connectors directory on the RCS.

Configure the Cerner connector

Create a connector configuration using the admin UI:

  1. Select Configure > Connectors and click New Connector.

  2. Enter a Connector Name.

  3. Select Cerner Connector - 1.5.20.15 as the Connector Type.

  4. Provide the Base Connector Details.

  5. Click Save.

When your connector is configured correctly, the connector displays as Active in the admin UI.

Alternatively, test that the configuration is correct by running the following command:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request POST \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/Cerner?_action=test"
{
  "name": "Cerner",
  "enabled": true,
  "config": "config/provisioner.openicf/Cerner",
  "connectorRef": {
    "bundleVersion": "[1.5.0.0,1.6.0.0)",
    "bundleName": "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.cerner-connector",
    "connectorName": "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.cerner.CernerConnector"
  },

  "objectTypes": [
    "__ORGANIZATION__",
    "__ACCOUNT__",
    "__ORGANIZATIONGROUP__",
    "__ALL__",
    "__PERSONNELGROUP__"
  ],
  "ok": true
}

If the command returns "ok": true, your connector was configured correctly and can authenticate to the Cerner system.

You can use the Cerner connector to perform the following actions on a Cerner account:

Create a Cerner user

The following example creates a user with the minimum required attributes:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--request POST \
--data '{
  "given": "Barbara",
  "family": "Jensen",
  "aliasType": "USER",
  "__NAME__": "Jensen, Barbara"
}' \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/Cerner/__ACCOUNT__?_action=create"
{
  "_id": "5170a9cd-e501-4cbf-a1bf-9e6d293362c6",
  "updatedAt": "2022-04-29T22:54:08Z",
  "given": "Barbara",
  "name": {
    "given": "Barbara",
    "family": "Jensen",
    "formatted": "Barbara Jensen"
  },
  "id": "5170a9cd-e501-4cbf-a1bf-9e6d293362c6",
  "languages": [],
  "formattedName": "Barbara Jensen",
  "aliases": {
    "type": "USER",
    "value": "Jensen",
    "system": "Barbara"
  },
  "aliasValue": "Jensen",
  "__NAME__": "Jensen,Barbara",
  "createdAt": "2022-04-29T22:54:08Z",
  "aliasType": "USER",
  "family": "Jensen",
  "isManual": true,
  "aliasSystem": "Barbara"
}

When you create a new user, you must specify at least __NAME__, aliasType, given, and family. Refer to the list of account attributes for more information.

Update a Cerner user

You can modify an existing user with a PUT request, including all attributes of the account in the request:

For example, to add the user’s middle name:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--header "If-Match:*" \
--request PUT \
--data '{
  "given": "Barbara",
  "family": "Jensen",
  "aliasType": "USER",
  "__NAME__": "Jensen, Barbara",
  "name": {
    "middle": "Simone"
  }
}' \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/Cerner/__ACCOUNT__/5170a9cd-e501-4cbf-a1bf-9e6d293362c6"
{
  "_id": "5170a9cd-e501-4cbf-a1bf-9e6d293362c6",
  "updatedAt": "2022-04-29T23:03:57Z",
  "given": "Barbara",
  "name": {
    "given": "Barbara",
    "middle": "Simone",
    "family": "Jensen",
    "formatted": "Barbara Simone Jensen"
  },
  "id": "5170a9cd-e501-4cbf-a1bf-9e6d293362c6",
  "languages": [],
  "formattedName": "Barbara Simone Jensen",
  "aliases": {
    "type": "USER",
    "value": "Jensen",
    "system": "Barbara"
  },
  "aliasValue": "Jensen",
  "__NAME__": "Jensen,Barbara",
  "createdAt": "2022-04-29T22:54:08Z",
  "aliasType": "USER",
  "family": "Jensen",
  "isManual": true,
  "aliasSystem": "Barbara"
}
Query Cerner users

The following example queries all Cerner users:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--request GET \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/Cerner/__ACCOUNT__?_queryId=query-all-ids"
{
  "result": [
    {
      "_id": "7d9538c8-1c2a-4894-a403-129b35308f39"
    },
    {
      "_id": "8f1c2671-9ebb-4105-9537-a3a0fc24afce"
    },
    {
      "_id": "ac944860-705f-4487-99bf-6959c5e6157c"
    },
    {
      "_id": "d308e459-51fa-469a-a07e-72f96906a4b4"
    },
    {
      "_id": "ff9d6902-20be-4c6e-821a-5a0f3ccaebc8"
    },
    {
      "_id": "bf2b9346-715e-4f59-9dc5-2bc89b8216cd"
    },
    {
      "_id": "055def33-a845-4100-bcd1-2b59a3526ec5"
    },
    {
      "_id": "167609b8-dfd0-4302-9022-4a3e8809b166"
    },
    [ ... ]
    {
      "_id": "9f4ea23d-bacc-46ee-b8c9-75916a5f5128"
    },
    {
      "_id": "a4d6be21-a5ce-4a56-91af-94c627701d4f"
    }
  ],
  "resultCount": 1020,
  "pagedResultsCookie": null,
  "totalPagedResultsPolicy": "NONE",
  "totalPagedResults": -1,
  "remainingPagedResults": -1
}

Querying all ids can take a significant amount of time to return when the data set is large. Consider using paginated results instead, for example:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--request GET \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/Cerner/__ACCOUNT__?_queryFilter=true&_fields=_id&_pageSize=2&_pagedResultsOffset=50"
{
  "result": [
    {
      "_id": "878c87d4-8322-4908-a858-555a1cb45e36"
    },
    {
      "_id": "9ecaa98b-58df-4dd1-bc99-34341411b151"
    }
  ],
  "resultCount": 2,
  "pagedResultsCookie": null,
  "totalPagedResultsPolicy": "NONE",
  "totalPagedResults": -1,
  "remainingPagedResults": -1
}

The following command queries a specific user by their ID:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--request GET \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/Cerner/__ACCOUNT__/5170a9cd-e501-4cbf-a1bf-9e6d293362c6"
{

  "given": "Barbara",
  "name": {
    "given": "Barbara",
    "middle": "Simone",
    "family": "Jensen",
    "formatted": "Barbara Simone Jensen"
  },
  "id": "5170a9cd-e501-4cbf-a1bf-9e6d293362c6",
  "languages": [],
  "formattedName": "Barbara Simone Jensen",
  "aliases": {
    "type": "USER",
    "value": "Jensen",
    "system": "Barbara"
  },
  "aliasValue": "Jensen",
  "__NAME__": "Jensen,Barbara",
  "createdAt": "2022-04-29T22:54:08Z",
  "aliasType": "USER",
  "family": "Jensen",
  "isManual": true,
  "aliasSystem": "Barbara"
}
Delete a Cerner user account

You can use the Cerner connector to delete an account from the Cerner repository.

The following example deletes a Cerner account:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--request DELETE \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/Cerner/__ACCOUNT__/5170a9cd-e501-4cbf-a1bf-9e6d293362c6"
{
  "_id": "5170a9cd-e501-4cbf-a1bf-9e6d293362c6",
  "updatedAt": "2022-04-29T23:03:57Z",
  "given": "Barbara",
  "name": {
    "given": "Barbara",
    "middle": "Simone",
    "family": "Jensen",
    "formatted": "Barbara Simone Jensen"
  },
  "id": "5170a9cd-e501-4cbf-a1bf-9e6d293362c6",
  "languages": [],
  "formattedName": "Barbara Simone Jensen",
  "aliases": {
    "type": "USER",
    "value": "Jensen",
    "system": "Barbara"
  },
  "aliasValue": "Jensen",
  "__NAME__": "Jensen,Barbara",
  "createdAt": "2022-04-29T22:54:08Z",
  "aliasType": "USER",
  "family": "Jensen",
  "isManual": true,
  "aliasSystem": "Barbara"
}

All supported resources can be queried. You can update user accounts, organizations, organization groups, and personnel groups, but only user accounts can be created or deleted. Available additional operations include:

OpenICF Interfaces Implemented by the Cerner Connector

The Cerner Connector implements the following OpenICF interfaces. For additional details, see ICF interfaces:

Create

Creates an object and its uid.

Delete

Deletes an object, referenced by its uid.

Schema

Describes the object types, operations, and options that the connector supports.

Script on Connector

Enables an application to run a script in the context of the connector.

Any script that runs on the connector has the following characteristics:

  • The script runs in the same execution environment as the connector and has access to all the classes to which the connector has access.

  • The script has access to a connector variable that is equivalent to an initialized instance of the connector. At a minimum, the script can access the connector configuration.

  • The script has access to any script arguments passed in by the application.

Search

Searches the target resource for all objects that match the specified object class and filter.

Test

Tests the connector configuration.

Testing a configuration checks all elements of the environment that are referred to by the configuration are available. For example, the connector might make a physical connection to a host that is specified in the configuration to verify that it exists and that the credentials that are specified in the configuration are valid.

This operation might need to connect to a resource, and, as such, might take some time. Do not invoke this operation too often, such as before every provisioning operation. The test operation is not intended to check that the connector is alive (that is, that its physical connection to the resource has not timed out).

You can invoke the test operation before a connector configuration has been validated.

Update

Updates (modifies or replaces) objects on a target resource.

CSV file connector

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

The CSV file connector is useful when importing users, either for initial provisioning or for ongoing updates. When used continuously in production, a CSV file serves as a change log, often containing only user records that have changed.

This connector does not verify CSV data before attempting a synchronization. You must ensure that your CSV file is complete and properly formed before using the connector.

Do not remove or replace CSV files that are the source or target of an active scheduled reconciliation or synchronization operation.

Configure the CSV file connector

Create a connector configuration using the admin UI:

  1. From the navigation bar, click Configure > Connectors.

  2. On the Connectors page, click New Connector.

  3. On the New Connector page, type a Connector Name.

  4. From the Connector Type drop-down list, select CSV File Connector - 1.5.20.15.

  5. Complete the Base Connector Details.

  6. Click Save.

Alternatively, use the sample CSV file connector configuration in openidm/samples/example-configurations/provisioners/provisioner.openicf-csvfile.json as a basis for your configuration.

The following example shows an excerpt of the connector configuration. The connectorHostRef property is optional and must be provided only if the connector runs remotely.

{
    "connectorRef": {
        "connectorHostRef": "#LOCAL",
        "connectorName": "org.forgerock.openicf.csvfile.CSVFileConnector",
        "bundleName": "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.csvfile-connector",
        "bundleVersion": "[1.5.0.0,1.6.0.0)"
    }
}

The only required configuration property is the path to the csvFile:

"configurationProperties" : {
    "csvFile" : "&{idm.instance.dir}/data/csvConnectorData.csv"
}

For a list of all configuration properties for this connector, see Configuration Properties.

If you change the structure of the CSV file resource, by adding or removing columns, you must update the corresponding object properties in the connector configuration accordingly.

OpenICF Interfaces Implemented by the CSV File Connector

The CSV File Connector implements the following OpenICF interfaces. For additional details, see ICF interfaces:

Authenticate

Provides simple authentication with two parameters, presumed to be a user name and password.

Batch

Execute a series of operations in a single request.

Create

Creates an object and its uid.

Delete

Deletes an object, referenced by its uid.

Resolve Username

Resolves an object by its username and returns the uid of the object.

Schema

Describes the object types, operations, and options that the connector supports.

Script on Connector

Enables an application to run a script in the context of the connector.

Any script that runs on the connector has the following characteristics:

  • The script runs in the same execution environment as the connector and has access to all the classes to which the connector has access.

  • The script has access to a connector variable that is equivalent to an initialized instance of the connector. At a minimum, the script can access the connector configuration.

  • The script has access to any script arguments passed in by the application.

Search

Searches the target resource for all objects that match the specified object class and filter.

Sync

Polls the target resource for synchronization events, that is, native changes to objects on the target resource.

Test

Tests the connector configuration.

Testing a configuration checks all elements of the environment that are referred to by the configuration are available. For example, the connector might make a physical connection to a host that is specified in the configuration to verify that it exists and that the credentials that are specified in the configuration are valid.

This operation might need to connect to a resource, and, as such, might take some time. Do not invoke this operation too often, such as before every provisioning operation.

(2) A list of operations in this column indicates that the property is required for those operations.

Database Table Connector

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

The Database Table connector lets you provision to a single table in a JDBC database.

Configure the Database Table connector

Create a connector configuration using the admin UI:

  1. From the navigation bar, click Configure > Connectors.

  2. On the Connectors page, click New Connector.

  3. On the New Connector page, type a Connector Name.

  4. From the Connector Type drop-down list, select Database Table Connector - 1.5.20.15.

  5. Complete the Base Connector Details.

  6. Click Save.

Alternatively, use the sample connector configuration for the Database Table connector in samples/example-configurations/provisioners/provisioner.openicf-contractordb.json. The corresponding data definition language file is provided in samples/example-configurations/provisioners/provisioner.openicf-contractordb.sql.

The following excerpt shows a sample Database Table connector configuration:

"configurationProperties" : {
    "url" : "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/contractordb?serverTimezone=UTC",
    "driverClassName" : "com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver",
    "username" : "root",
    "password" : "password",
    "table" : "people",
    "keyColumn" : "EMAIL",
    "passwordColumn" : "",
    "changeLogColumn" : "CHANGE_TIMESTAMP",
    "disablePaging" : false,
    "enableEmptyString" : false,
    "quoting" : "",
    "rethrowAllSQLExceptions" : true,
    "nativeTimestamps" : false,
    "allNative" : false,
    "suppressPassword" : true,
    "validationQueryTimeout" : -1,
    "validationQuery" : "SELECT 1 FROM DUAL",
    "validationInterval" : 3000,
    "initialSize" : 10,
    "maxIdle" : 100,
    "minIdle" : 10,
    "maxWait" : 30000,
    "maxActive" : 100,
    "maxAge" : 0,
    "minEvictableIdleTimeMillis" : 60000,
    "timeBetweenEvictionRunsMillis" : 5000,
    "testWhileIdle" : false,
    "testOnBorrow" : true
}

The mandatory configurable properties are as follows:

url

The JDBC database address that contains the table to which you are provisioning. The format of the url will change depending on the type of database, such as jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/contractordb?serverTimezone=UTC, or jdbc:oracle:thin:@//localhost:3306/contractordb. Note that the address includes the name of the database you are connecting to.

driverClassName

The class name of the driver you are using to connect to a database. The name varies depending on the type of database you are using, such as oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver, or com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver.

table

The name of the table in the JDBC database that contains the user accounts.

keyColumn

The column value that is used as the unique identifier for rows in the table.

If you want to map NAME or UID to an attribute in IDM, change the keyColumn to a column in the SQL schema that does not match any of the target properties in your mapping; otherwise, a conflict occurs and IDM does not create the account. Previously, this column was UNIQUE_ID.

Unless the database is configured to not need authentication, username and password are also required.

Tomcat JDBC connection pool

The Database Table connector uses the Apache Tomcat JDBC Connection Pool. Additional configurable properties and information are available in the Apache Tomcat documentation.

Implementation specifics

  • To use this connector for liveSync, add a changelog type column to the database and provide the name of this column in the changeLogColumn property. Note that the Database Table connector supports liveSync for create and update operations only. To detect deletes in the database you must run a full reconciliation.

  • For PATCH requests, a connector can potentially add, remove, or replace an attribute value. The Database Table connector does not implement the add or remove operations, so a PATCH request always replaces the entire attribute value with the new value.

  • The Database Table connector supports paged reconciliation queries only for the following databases:

    • MySQL

    • PostgreSQL

    • Oracle Database 12c and later versions

    • Microsoft SQL Server 2012 and later versions

      Paging is enabled by default. If you are connecting to a database for which paging is not supported, you must disable it by setting "disablePaging" : true in the connector configuration.

    For more information about configuring paged reconciliation queries, see Paging Reconciliation Query Results.

  • If your database does not support precise (nanosecond) timestamps, you can use the inclusiveSync configuration property to ensure that modified entries are not missed in liveSync operations. If inclusiveSync is set to true, the connector synchronizes all entries whose change timestamp is greater than or equal to the syncToken. Be aware that if you set this property to true, the activity log creates a new entry every time liveSync occurs, even if entries are changed. This can lead to rapid growth of the activity audit log.

OpenICF Interfaces Implemented by the Database Table Connector

The Database Table Connector implements the following OpenICF interfaces. For additional details, see ICF interfaces:

Authenticate

Provides simple authentication with two parameters, presumed to be a user name and password.

Create

Creates an object and its uid.

Delete

Deletes an object, referenced by its uid.

Resolve Username

Resolves an object by its username and returns the uid of the object.

Schema

Describes the object types, operations, and options that the connector supports.

Script on Connector

Enables an application to run a script in the context of the connector.

Any script that runs on the connector has the following characteristics:

  • The script runs in the same execution environment as the connector and has access to all the classes to which the connector has access.

  • The script has access to a connector variable that is equivalent to an initialized instance of the connector. At a minimum, the script can access the connector configuration.

  • The script has access to any script arguments passed in by the application.

Search

Searches the target resource for all objects that match the specified object class and filter.

Sync

Polls the target resource for synchronization events, that is, native changes to objects on the target resource.

Test

Tests the connector configuration.

Testing a configuration checks all elements of the environment that are referred to by the configuration are available. For example, the connector might make a physical connection to a host that is specified in the configuration to verify that it exists and that the credentials that are specified in the configuration are valid.

This operation might need to connect to a resource, and, as such, might take some time. Do not invoke this operation too often, such as before every provisioning operation. The test operation is not intended to check that the connector is alive (that is, that its physical connection to the resource has not timed out).

You can invoke the test operation before a connector configuration has been validated.

Update

Updates (modifies or replaces) objects on a target resource.

Database Table Connector Configuration

The Database Table Connector has the following configurable properties:

Configuration properties

Property Type Default Encrypted(1) Required(2)

connectionProperties

String

null

No

The connection properties that will be sent to our JDBC driver when establishing new connections. Format of the string must be [propertyName=property;]* NOTE - The "user" and "password" properties will be passed explicitly, so they do not need to be included here. The default value is null.

propagateInterruptState

boolean

false

No

Set this to true to propagate the interrupt state for a thread that has been interrupted (not clearing the interrupt state). Default value is false for backwards compatibility.

useDisposableConnectionFacade

boolean

true

No

Set this to true if you wish to put a facade on your connection so that it cannot be reused after it has been closed. This prevents a thread holding on to a reference of a connection it has already called closed on, to execute queries on it.

defaultCatalog

String

null

No

The default catalog of connections created by this pool.

validationInterval

long

3000

No

To avoid excess validation, run validation at most at this frequency (in milliseconds). If a connection is due for validation, but was validated within this interval, it will not be validated again. The default value is 3000 (3 seconds).

ignoreExceptionOnPreLoad

boolean

false

No

Flag whether ignore error of connection creation while initializing the pool. Set to true if you want to ignore error of connection creation while initializing the pool. Set to false if you want to fail the initialization of the pool by throwing exception.

jmxEnabled

boolean

true

No

Register the pool with JMX or not. The default value is true.

commitOnReturn

boolean

false

No

If autoCommit==false then the pool can complete the transaction by calling commit on the connection as it is returned to the pool If rollbackOnReturn==true then this attribute is ignored. Default value is false.

logAbandoned

boolean

false

No

Flag to log stack traces for application code which abandoned a Connection. Logging of abandoned Connections adds overhead for every Connection borrow because a stack trace has to be generated. The default value is false.

maxIdle

int

100

No

The maximum number of connections that should be kept in the pool at all times. Idle connections are checked periodically (if enabled) and connections that have been idle for longer than minEvictableIdleTimeMillis are released. The default value is derived from maxActive:100. (Also see testWhileIdle.)

testWhileIdle

boolean

false

No

The indication of whether objects will be validated by the idle object evictor (if any). If an object fails to validate, it will be dropped from the pool. NOTE - for a true value to have any effect, the validationQuery parameter must be set to a non-null string. The default value is false and this property has to be set in order for the pool cleaner/test thread is to run (also see timeBetweenEvictionRunsMillis)

removeAbandoned

boolean

false

No

Flag to remove abandoned connections if they exceed the removeAbandonedTimeout. If set to true a connection is considered abandoned and eligible for removal if it has been in use longer than the removeAbandonedTimeout Setting this to true can recover db connections from applications that fail to close a connection. See also logAbandoned The default value is false.

abandonWhenPercentageFull

int

0

No

Connections that have been abandoned (timed out) wont get closed and reported up unless the number of connections in use are above the percentage defined by abandonWhenPercentageFull. The value should be between 0-100. The default value is 0, which implies that connections are eligible for closure as soon as removeAbandonedTimeout has been reached.

minIdle

int

10

No

The minimum number of established connections that should be kept in the pool at all times. The connection pool can shrink below this number if validation queries fail. The default value is derived from initialSize:10. (Also see testWhileIdle.)

defaultReadOnly

Boolean

null

No

The default read-only state of connections created by this pool. If not set then the setReadOnly method will not be called. (Some drivers dont support read only mode, ex: Informix)

maxWait

int

30000

No

The maximum number of milliseconds that the pool will wait (when there are no available connections) for a connection to be returned before throwing an exception. Default value is 30000 (30 seconds)

logValidationErrors

boolean

false

No

Set this to true to log errors during the validation phase to the log file. If set to true, errors will be logged as SEVERE. Default value is false for backwards compatibility.

driverClassName

String

null

No

The fully qualified Java class name of the JDBC driver to be used. The driver has to be accessible from the same classloader as tomcat-jdbc.jar

name

String

Tomcat Connection Pool[1-400402012]

No

Returns the name of the connection pool. By default a JVM unique random name is assigned.

useStatementFacade

boolean

true

No

Returns true if this connection pool is configured to wrap statements in order to enable equals() and hashCode() methods to be called on the closed statements if any statement proxy is set.

initSQL

String

null

No

A custom query to be run when a connection is first created. The default value is null.

validationQueryTimeout

int

-1

No

The timeout in seconds before a connection validation queries fail. This works by calling java.test_sample.Statement.setQueryTimeout(seconds) on the statement that executes the validationQuery. The pool itself doesnt timeout the query, it is still up to the JDBC driver to enforce query timeouts. A value less than or equal to zero will disable this feature. The default value is -1.

validationQuery

String

null

No

The SQL query that will be used to validate connections from this pool before returning them to the caller. If specified, this query does not have to return any data, it just cant throw a SQLException. The default value is null. Example values are SELECT 1(mysql), select 1 from dual(oracle), SELECT 1(MS Sql Server)

rollbackOnReturn

boolean

false

No

If autoCommit==false then the pool can terminate the transaction by calling rollback on the connection as it is returned to the pool Default value is false.

alternateUsernameAllowed

boolean

false

No

By default, the jdbc-pool will ignore the DataSource.getConnection(username,password) call, and simply return a previously pooled connection under the globally configured properties username and password, for performance reasons. The pool can however be configured to allow use of different credentials each time a connection is requested. To enable the functionality described in the DataSource.getConnection(username,password) call, simply set the property alternateUsernameAllowed to true. Should you request a connection with the credentials user1/password1 and the connection was previously connected using different user2/password2, the connection will be closed, and reopened with the requested credentials. This way, the pool size is still managed on a global level, and not on a per schema level.

validatorClassName

String

null

No

The name of a class which implements the org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.Validator interface and provides a no-arg constructor (may be implicit). If specified, the class will be used to create a Validator instance which is then used instead of any validation query to validate connections. The default value is null. An example value is com.mycompany.project.SimpleValidator.

suspectTimeout

int

0

No

Timeout value in seconds. Similar to to the removeAbandonedTimeout value but instead of treating the connection as abandoned, and potentially closing the connection, this simply logs the warning if logAbandoned is set to true. If this value is equal or less than 0, no suspect checking will be performed. Suspect checking only takes place if the timeout value is larger than 0 and the connection was not abandoned or if abandon check is disabled. If a connection is suspect a WARN message gets logged and a JMX notification gets sent once.

useEquals

boolean

true

No

Set to true if you wish the ProxyConnection class to use String.equals and set to false when you wish to use == when comparing method names. This property does not apply to added interceptors as those are configured individually. The default value is true.

removeAbandonedTimeout

int

60

No

Timeout in seconds before an abandoned(in use) connection can be removed. The default value is 60 (60 seconds). The value should be set to the longest running query your applications might have.

defaultAutoCommit

Boolean

null

No

The default auto-commit state of connections created by this pool. If not set, default is JDBC driver default (If not set then the setAutoCommit method will not be called.)

testOnConnect

boolean

false

No

Returns true if we should run the validation query when connecting to the database for the first time on a connection. Normally this is always set to false, unless one wants to use the validationQuery as an init query.

jdbcInterceptors

String

null

No

A semicolon separated list of classnames extending org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.JdbcInterceptor class. See Configuring JDBC interceptors below for more detailed description of syntaz and examples. These interceptors will be inserted as an interceptor into the chain of operations on a java.test_sample.Connection object. The default value is null.

initialSize

int

10

No

The initial number of connections that are created when the pool is started. Default value is 10

defaultTransactionIsolation

int

-1

No

The default TransactionIsolation state of connections created by this pool. One of the following: NONE, READ_COMMITTED, READ_UNCOMMITTED, REPEATABLE_READ, SERIALIZABLE If not set, the method will not be called and it defaults to the JDBC driver.

numTestsPerEvictionRun

int

0

No

Property not used in tomcat-jdbc-pool.

url

String

null

No

The URL used to connect to the database.

testOnBorrow

boolean

false

No

The indication of whether objects will be validated before being borrowed from the pool. If the object fails to validate, it will be dropped from the pool, and we will attempt to borrow another. NOTE - for a true value to have any effect, the validationQuery parameter must be set to a non-null string. In order to have a more efficient validation, see validationInterval. Default value is false

fairQueue

boolean

true

No

Set to true if you wish that calls to getConnection should be treated fairly in a true FIFO fashion. This uses the org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.FairBlockingQueue implementation for the list of the idle connections. The default value is true. This flag is required when you want to use asynchronous connection retrieval. Setting this flag ensures that threads receive connections in the order they arrive. During performance tests, there is a very large difference in how locks and lock waiting is implemented. When fairQueue=true there is a decision making process based on what operating system the system is running. If the system is running on Linux (property os.name=Linux. To disable this Linux specific behavior and still use the fair queue, simply add the property org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.FairBlockingQueue.ignoreOS=true to your system properties before the connection pool classes are loaded.

accessToUnderlyingConnectionAllowed

boolean

true

No

Property not used. Access can be achieved by calling unwrap on the pooled connection. see javax.test_sample.DataSource interface, or call getConnection through reflection or cast the object as javax.test_sample.PooledConnection

maxAge

long

0

No

Time in milliseconds to keep this connection. When a connection is returned to the pool, the pool will check to see if the now - time-when-connected > maxAge has been reached, and if so, it closes the connection rather than returning it to the pool. The default value is 0, which implies that connections will be left open and no age check will be done upon returning the connection to the pool.

minEvictableIdleTimeMillis

int

60000

No

The minimum amount of time an object may sit idle in the pool before it is eligible for eviction. The default value is 60000 (60 seconds).

timeBetweenEvictionRunsMillis

int

5000

No

The number of milliseconds to sleep between runs of the idle connection validation/cleaner thread. This value should not be set under 1 second. It dictates how often we check for idle, abandoned connections, and how often we validate idle connections. The default value is 5000 (5 seconds).

testOnReturn

boolean

false

No

The indication of whether objects will be validated before being returned to the pool. NOTE - for a true value to have any effect, the validationQuery parameter must be set to a non-null string. The default value is false.

useLock

boolean

false

No

Return true if a lock should be used when operations are performed on the connection object. Should be set to false unless you plan to have a background thread of your own doing idle and abandon checking such as JMX clients. If the pool sweeper is enabled, then the lock will automatically be used regardless of this setting.

maxActive

int

100

No

The maximum number of active connections that can be allocated from this pool at the same time. The default value is 100

username

String

null

No

The connection username to be passed to our JDBC driver to establish a connection. Note that method DataSource.getConnection(username,password) by default will not use credentials passed into the method, but will use the ones configured here. See alternateUsernameAllowed property for more details.

table

String

TABLE_NAME

Yes

Enter the name of the table in the database that contains the accounts.

(1) Whether the property value is considered confidential, and is therefore encrypted in IDM.

(2) A list of operations in this column indicates that the property is required for those operations.

Basic Configuration

Property Type Default Encrypted(1) Required(2)

password

String

null

Yes

Yes

The connection password to be passed to the JDBC driver to establish a connection. Note that method DataSource.getConnection(username,password) by default will not use credentials passed into the method, but will use the ones configured here. See alternateUsernameAllowed property for more details.

quoting

String

NONE

No

Select whether database column names for this resource should be quoted, and the quoting characters. By default, database column names are not quoted (None). For other selections (Single, Double, Back, or Brackets), column names will appear between single quotes, double quotes, back quotes, or brackets in the SQL generated to access the database.

keyColumn

String

KEY_COLUMN

Yes

This mandatory column value will be used as the unique identifier for rows in the table.

null

No

Enter the name of the column in the table that will hold the password values. If empty, no validation is done on resources and passwords.

disablePaging

boolean

false

Yes

If true, optional paging in a query will be ignored by the connector. Defaults to false.

enableEmptyString

boolean

false

No

Select to enable support for writing an empty string, instead of a NULL value, in character based columns defined as not-null in the table schema. This option does not influence the way strings are written for Oracle based tables. By default empty strings are written as a NULL value.

rethrowAllSQLExceptions

boolean

true

No

If this is not checked, SQL statements which throw SQLExceptions with a 0 ErrorCode will be have the exception caught and suppressed. Check it to have exceptions with 0 ErrorCodes rethrown.

(1) Whether the property value is considered confidential, and is therefore encrypted in IDM.

(2) A list of operations in this column indicates that the property is required for those operations.

DocuSign Connector

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

The DocuSign connector lets you manage DocuSign service accounts and synchronize accounts between DocuSign and the IDM managed user repository.

This chapter describes how to install and configure the DocuSign connector, and how to perform basic tests to ensure that it’s running correctly.

For a complete example that includes the configuration required to synchronize users with this connector, see Synchronize data between IDM and DocuSign.

Before you start

The instructions in this chapter assume that you have a DocuSign administrator account, and that you have added an Integrator Key, as described in the DocuSign Documentation. Before you configure the connector, log in to your administrator account and note the following information:

  • API User ID

  • API Account ID

  • Integration Key

    You will also need to set up an RSA Keypair and copy the public and private keys to a location that will be accessible by the connector.

  • Docusign API Hostname

  • Docusign OAuth Hostname

You need these details to configure the connector to interact with your DocuSign environment.

The DocuSign connector uses Oauth to connect to DocuSign. You must grant authorization to the Integration Key by directing your browser to the following URL:

https://account-d.docusign.com/oauth/auth?response_type=code&scope=signature%20impersonation&client_id=your-integrator-key&redirect_uri=https://client.example.com/callback

In the resulting window, click Accept to grant the required authorization.

The connector requires signing groups to be enabled. Depending on your DocuSign plan, you might need to contact the DocuSign Support team to enable signing groups. For more information, see the DocuSign documentation.

Install the DocuSign connector

  1. Download the connector .jar file from the ForgeRock BackStage download site site.

    • If you are running the connector locally, place it in the /path/to/openidm/connectors directory, for example:

      mv ~/Downloads/docusign-connector-1.5.20.15.jar /path/to/openidm/connectors/
    • If you are using a remote connector server (RCS), place it in the /path/to/openicf/connectors directory on the RCS.

  2. Download the connector dependencies. The DocuSign connector has a dependency on the Java JWT library 3.4.0 (java-jwt-3.4.0.jar).

    • If you are running the connector locally, place the library in the /path/to/openidm/lib directory:

      mv ~/Downloads/java-jwt-3.4.0.jar /path/to/openidm/lib/
    • If you are using a remote connector server (RCS), place the library in the /path/to/openicf/lib directory on the RCS.

Configure the DocuSign connector

If you had already started IDM (or your RCS) before copying the connector .jar file to the connectors directory, you must restart the server for the connector to be loaded.

Create a connector configuration using the admin UI:

  1. From the navigation bar, click Configure > Connectors.

  2. On the Connectors page, click New Connector.

  3. On the New Connector page, type a Connector Name.

  4. From the Connector Type drop-down list, select DocuSign Connector - 1.5.20.15.

  5. Complete the Base Connector Details.

  6. Click Save.

Alternatively, configure the connector with a configuration file.

IDM provides a sample connector configuration file in the /path/to/openidm/samples/example-configurations/provisioners directory. Copy this sample file (provisioner.openicf-docusign.json) to your project’s conf directory.

The following excerpt shows sample configuration properties:

"configurationProperties": {
    "host" : "_CHANGEME_",
    "oAuthHost" : "_CHANGEME_",
    "accountId" : "_CHANGEME_",
    "integratorKey" : "_CHANGEME_",
    "privateKeyFilePath" : "_CHANGEME_",
    "publicKeyFilePath" : "_CHANGEME_",
    "userId" : "_CHANGEME_",
    ...
}
host

The Docusign API hostname, for example, demo.docusign.net.

oAuthHost

The Docusign OAuth hostname, for example, https://account.docusign.com/oauth.

userId

The API User ID of the DocuSign user that will authenticate to the REST server. You can locate this ID under Admin > Integrations > API and Keys when you log in to your DocuSign account.

accountId

The API Account ID of the user specified previously. You can locate this account ID under Admin > Integrations > API and Keys when you log in to your DocuSign account.

integratorKey

The DocuSign Integration Key or client ID. You can locate the Integrator Key under Admin > Integrations > API and Keys when you log in to your DocuSign account. For more information, see the corresponding DocuSign documentation.

privateKeyFilePath

The full path to the Private Key of the RSA Keypair. To obtain the Private Key, select Admin > Integrations > API and Keys, then select Add RSA Keypair. Copy the value of the Private Key to a file and specify the file path in this property, for example: "privateKeyFilePath" : "/path/to/private-key.txt".

publicKeyFilePath

The full path to the Public Key of the RSA Keypair. To obtain the Public Key, select Admin > Integrations > API and Keys, then select Add RSA Keypair. Copy the value of the Public Key to a file and specify the file path in this property, for example: "publicKeyFilePath" : "/path/to/public-key.txt".

When your connector is configured correctly, the connector displays as Active in the UI.

Alternatively, test the configuration over REST:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request POST \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/docusign?_action=test"
{
  "name": "docusign",
  "enabled": true,
  "config": "config/provisioner.openicf/docusign",
  "connectorRef": {
    "bundleVersion": "[1.5.0.0,1.6.0.0)",
    "bundleName": "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.docusign-connector",
    "connectorName": "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.docusign.DocuSignConnector"
  },
  "displayName": "DocuSign Connector",
  "objectTypes": [
    "userSignature",
    "signingGroup",
    "__ALL__",
    "account",
    "contact"
  ],
  "ok": true
}

If the command returns "ok": true, your connector has been configured correctly, and can authenticate to the DocuSign server.

Configure Connection Pooling

The DocuSign connector supports connection pooling, which can substantially improve the performance of the connector. The basic connection pooling configuration is described in Connection pooling configuration.

Use the DocuSign Connector

You can use the DocuSign connector to perform the following actions on a DocuSign account.

Create a DocuSign User

This example creates a user with the minimum required attributes.

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request POST \
--data '{
  "userName": "Carlos Garcia",
  "email": "cgarcia@example.com",
  "password": "Passw0rd"
}' \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/docusign/account?_action=create"
{
  "_id": "dc1c6940-1de7-4434-a91e-1407424cac91",
  "accountManagementGranular": [
    {
      "canManageUsers": "false"
    },
    {
      "canManageAdmins": "false"
    },
    {
      "canManageGroups": "false"
    },
    {
      "canManageSharing": "false"
    },
    {
      "canManageAccountSettings": "false"
    },
    {
      "canManageReporting": "false"
    },
    {
      "canManageAccountSecuritySettings": "false"
    },
    {
      "canManageSigningGroups": "false"
    }
  ],
  "userName": "Carlos Garcia",
  "enableConnectForUser": "false",
  "lastName": "Garcia",
  "createdDateTime": "2018-10-18T07:48:39.3870000Z",
  "userSettings": [
    {
      "name": "expressSendOnly",
      "value": "false"
    }
  ],
  "email": "cgarcia@example.com",
  "sendActivationOnInvalidLogin": "false",
  "userStatus": "ActivationSent",
  "firstName": "Carlos",
  "groupList": [
    {
      "groupName": "Everyone",
      "groupType": "everyoneGroup",
      "groupId": "4428049"
    }
  ],
  "uri": "/users/dc1c6940-1de7-4434-a91e-1407424cac91",
  "isAdmin": "False",
  "userType": "CompanyUser"
}

When you create a new user, you must specify at least the userName, email, and password. The value of the userName attribute determines how the remaining name attributes (firstName, lastName, and so on) are set in the new DocuSign user entry.

If you create the user with a single word as the value of the userName attribute, for example, cgarcia, the user’s userName and lastName attributes in DocuSign are both set to cgarcia.

If you create the user with multiple words as the value of the userName attribute, for example, Carlos Garcia), the user’s userName attribute is set to Carlos Garcia, their firstName attribute is set to Carlos, and their lastName attribute is set to Garcia.

Only the first three words of the userName attribute are parsed, into the firstName, middleName, and lastName attributes. Any additional words are ignored.

By default, DocuSign accounts have a strict password strength setting. If a create operation fails with a ConnectorException and you see the following error in the logs, you may need to adjust Password Rules in DocuSign:

Caused by: org.identityconnectors.framework.common.exceptions.ConnectorException: Invalid forgotten password challenge.

You can also set a custom forgottenPasswordQuestion and forgottenPasswordAnswer attribute during the create operation. For example:

curl \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request POST \
--data '{
  "userName": "Carlos Garcia",
  "email": "cgarcia@example.com",
  "password": "Passw0rd",
  "forgottenPasswordInfo": {
    "forgottenPasswordQuestion1": "my question",
    "forgottenPasswordAnswer1": "my answer"
  }
}' \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/docusign/account?_action=create"

Query DocuSign User Entries

This example queries all DocuSign users by their IDs:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request GET \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/docusign/account?_queryId=query-all-ids"
{
  "result": [
    {
      "_id": "bc9f0464-808a-4703-b4c2-c1e6a77f0c3a",
      "userName": "Babs Jensen"
    },
    {
      "_id": "dc1c6940-1de7-4434-a91e-1407424cac91",
      "userName": "Carlos Garcia"
    },
    {
      "_id": "94be4fed-cfd7-47d5-9fcc-813405084f17",
      "userName": "Olayinka Kuti"
    }
  ],
  "resultCount": 3,
  "pagedResultsCookie": null,
  "totalPagedResultsPolicy": "NONE",
  "totalPagedResults": -1,
  "remainingPagedResults": -1
}

The following command queries a specific user by their ID:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request GET \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/docusign/account/dc1c6940-1de7-4434-a91e-1407424cac91"

    }
  ],
  "uri": "/users/dc1c6940-1de7-4434-a91e-1407424cac91",
  "isAdmin": "False",
  "userType": "CompanyUser"
}

Modify a DocuSign User Entry

You can modify an existing user with a PATCH request or with a PUT request, including all attributes of the account in the request. You can use the connector to modify the following attributes of a user entry:

  • title

  • firstName

  • middleName

  • lastName

  • suffix

  • userName

After creation, a user’s email address is read-only and you cannot modify it using the connector.

If forgotten password recovery has been enabled for the DocuSign user account, (forgottenPasswordQuestion and forgottenPasswordAnswer have been set) you can use the connector to change a user’s password. You must include the following attributes in a password change request:

  • currentPassword

  • newPassword

  • email

  • forgottenPasswordQuestion

  • forgottenPasswordAnswer

  • forgottenPasswordInfo

The following example changes Carlos Garcia’s password:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--header "Content-type: application/json" \
--request PATCH \
--data '[
  {
    "operation": "replace",
    "field": "password",
    "value": "MyPassw0rd"
  }
]' \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/docusign/account/dc1c6940-1de7-4434-a91e-1407424cac91"
{
  "_id": "dc1c6940-1de7-4434-a91e-1407424cac91",

    {
      "canManageUsers": "false"
    },
    {
      "canManageAdmins": "false"
    },
    {
      "canManageGroups": "false"
    },
    {
      "canManageSharing": "false"
    },
    {
      "canManageAccountSettings": "false"
    },
    {
      "canManageReporting": "false"
    },
    {
      "canManageAccountSecuritySettings": "false"
    },
    {
      "canManageSigningGroups": "false"
    }
  ],
  "userName": "Carlos Garcia",
  "userProfileLastModifiedDate": "2018-10-18T01:10:59.4230000Z",
  "enableConnectForUser": "false",
  "lastName": "Garcia",
  "createdDateTime": "2018-10-18T07:48:39.3870000Z",
  "userSettings": [
    {
      "name": "expressSendOnly",
      "value": "false"
    }
  ],
  "email": "cgarcia@example.com",
  "sendActivationOnInvalidLogin": "false",
  "userStatus": "ActivationSent",
  "firstName": "Carlos",
  "groupList": [
    {
      "groupName": "Everyone",
      "groupType": "everyoneGroup",
      "groupId": "4428049"
    }
  ],
  "uri": "/users/dc1c6940-1de7-4434-a91e-1407424cac91",
  "isAdmin": "False",
  "userType": "CompanyUser"
}

If the naming component attributes are sent in an update, these attribute values are set on the DocuSign user. The user’s userName attribute is re-generated from the individual naming components. If both the userName and additional naming component attributes (such as firstName or lastName are sent in the update request, the supplied userName attribute is ignored and its value is regenerated from the individual naming components.

Close a DocuSign User Account

You cannot use the DocuSign connector to delete an account from the DocuSign repository. However, you can use a DELETE request to set the userStatus attribute of the account to Closed.

The following example closes Carlos Garcia’s DocuSign account:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request DELETE \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/docusign/account/dc1c6940-1de7-4434-a91e-1407424cac91"
{
  "_id": "dc1c6940-1de7-4434-a91e-1407424cac91",
  "accountManagementGranular": [
    {
      "canManageUsers": "false"
    },
    {
      "canManageAdmins": "false"
    },
    {
      "canManageGroups": "false"
    },
    {
      "canManageSharing": "false"
    },
    {
      "canManageAccountSettings": "false"
    },
    {
      "canManageReporting": "false"
    },
    {
      "canManageAccountSecuritySettings": "false"
    },
    {
      "canManageSigningGroups": "false"
    }
  ],
  "userName": "Carlos Garcia",
  "userProfileLastModifiedDate": "2018-10-18T01:10:59.4230000Z",
  "enableConnectForUser": "false",
  "lastName": "Garcia",
  "createdDateTime": "2018-10-18T07:48:39.3870000Z",
  "userSettings": [
    {
      "name": "expressSendOnly",
      "value": "false"
    }
  ],
  "email": "cgarcia@example.com",
  "sendActivationOnInvalidLogin": "false",
  "userStatus": "ActivationSent",
  "firstName": "Carlos",
  "groupList": [
    {
      "groupName": "Everyone",
      "groupType": "everyoneGroup",
      "groupId": "4428049"
    }
  ],
  "uri": "/users/dc1c6940-1de7-4434-a91e-1407424cac91",
  "isAdmin": "False",
  "userType": "CompanyUser"
}

A closed account remains in the DocuSign repository and can still be queried by its ID.

OpenICF Interfaces Implemented by the DocuSign Connector

The DocuSign Connector implements the following OpenICF interfaces. For additional details, see ICF interfaces:

Create

Creates an object and its uid.

Delete

Deletes an object, referenced by its uid.

Schema

Describes the object types, operations, and options that the connector supports.

Script on Connector

Enables an application to run a script in the context of the connector.

Any script that runs on the connector has the following characteristics:

  • The script runs in the same execution environment as the connector and has access to all the classes to which the connector has access.

  • The script has access to a connector variable that is equivalent to an initialized instance of the connector. At a minimum, the script can access the connector configuration.

  • The script has access to any script arguments passed in by the application.

Search

Searches the target resource for all objects that match the specified object class and filter.

Test

Tests the connector configuration.

Testing a configuration checks all elements of the environment that are referred to by the configuration are available. For example, the connector might make a physical connection to a host that is specified in the configuration to verify that it exists and that the credentials that are specified in the configuration are valid.

This operation might need to connect to a resource, and, as such, might take some time. Do not invoke this operation too often, such as before every provisioning operation. The test operation is not intended to check that the connector is alive (that is, that its physical connection to the resource has not timed out).

You can invoke the test operation before a connector configuration has been validated.

Update

Updates (modifies or replaces) objects on a target resource.

Epic connector

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

Epic is a healthcare-related service which handles patient medical records. The Epic connector lets you manage and synchronize accounts between Epic and the IDM managed user objects. An Epic administrator account on the Epic system you wish to connect to is required for this connector to work.

Before you start

Before you configure the connector, log in to your Epic administrator account and note the following:

  • Client ID

  • Username

  • Password

  • Private key (Generate an RSA keypair and convert to PKCS8)

    To generate your private key:

    1. Generate and download an RSA key pair.

    2. Run the following command to convert the RSA private key to PKCS8 format:

      openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -nocrypt -in privatekey.pem -out epic_pkcs8_private_key.pem
    3. After generating the private key in PKCS8 format, remove -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----- and -----END PRIVATE KEY----- from the generated PKCS8 private key file.

    4. Remove any escape characters such as \n or \r.

  • REST endpoint (Optional)

  • SOAP endpoint (Optional)

  • Max records (Optional)

  • User template file path (Optional)

  • User sub template file path (Optional)

  • In Basket classification file path (Optional)

  • Group file path (Optional)

The user template, user sub template, in basket, and group file paths are local paths that are accessible to the IDM or RCS instance.

Install the Epic connector

Download the connector .jar file from the ForgeRock BackStage download site.

  • If you are running the connector locally, place it in the /path/to/openidm/connectors directory, for example:

    mv ~/Downloads/epic-connector-1.5.20.15.jar /path/to/openidm/connectors/
  • If you are using a remote connector server (RCS), place it in the /path/to/openicf/connectors directory on the RCS.

Configure the Epic connector

Create a connector configuration using the admin UI:

  1. Select Configure > Connectors and click New Connector.

  2. Enter a Connector Name.

  3. Select Epic Connector - 1.5.20.15 as the Connector Type.

  4. Provide the Base Connector Details.

  5. Click Save.

When your connector is configured correctly, the connector displays as Active in the admin UI.

Alternatively, test that the configuration is correct by running the following command:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request POST \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/Epic?_action=test"
{
  "name": "Epic",
  "enabled": true,
  "config": "config/provisioner.openicf/Epic",
  "connectorRef": {
    "bundleVersion": "[1.5.0.0,1.6.0.0)",
    "bundleName": "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.epic-connector",
    "connectorName": "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.epic.EpicConnector"
  },
  "displayName": "Epic Connector",
  "objectTypes": [
    "__ACCOUNT__",
    "__ALL__"
  ],
  "ok": true
}

If the command returns "ok": true, your connector has been configured correctly, and can authenticate to the Epic server.

You can use the Epic connector to perform the following actions on an Epic account:

Create an Epic user

The following example creates a user with the minimum required attributes:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json"\
--request POST \
--data '{
  "UserID": "8675309”,
  "__NAME__": "Walter, Taylor"
}'\
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/Epic/__ACCOUNT__?_action=create"
{
  "_id": "8675309",
  "UserComplexName": {
    "FirstName": "Taylor",
    "GivenNameInitials": "",
    "MiddleName": "",
    "LastName": "Walter",
    "LastNamePrefix": "",
    "SpouseLastName": "",
    "SpousePrefix": "",
    "Suffix": "",
    "AcademicTitle": "",
    "PrimaryTitle": "",
    "SpouseLastNameFirst": false,
    "FatherName": "",
    "GrandfatherName": ""
  },
  "BlockStatus": {
    "IsBlocked": false,
    "Reason": "",
    "Comment": ""
  },
  "__GROUP__": [],
  "ContactComment": "Initial contact created via web service",
  "UserID": "8675309",
  "__NAME__": "WALTER, TAYLOR",
  "UsersManagers": [],
  "InBasketClassifications": [],
  "__ENABLE__": true
}
  • When you create a new user, you must specify at least UserID and __NAME__.

  • The maximum length of __NAME__ is 100 characters. The format for userName is LAST, FIRST MI format.

  • The maximum number of characters for UserID is 15.

Query Epic user entries

The following example queries all Epic users:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--request GET \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/Epic/__ACCOUNT__?_queryId=query-all-ids"
{
  "result": [
    {
      "_id": "dsully"
    },
    {
      "_id": "999999999"
    },
    {
      "_id": "admin@ACECompany.com"
    },
    {
      "_id": "extuser320"
    },
    {

}
Close an Epic user account

You can use the Epic connector to delete an account from the Epic repository.

A deleted account technically remains in the Epic repository, but cannot be queried by its ID.

The following example deletes an Epic account:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--request DELETE \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/Epic/__ACCOUNT__/8675309"
{
  "_id": "8675309",
  "UserComplexName": {
    "FirstName": "Taylor",
    "GivenNameInitials": "",
    "MiddleName": "",
    "LastName": "Walter",
    "LastNamePrefix": "",
    "SpouseLastName": "",
    "SpousePrefix": "",
    "Suffix": "",
    "AcademicTitle": "",
    "PrimaryTitle": "",
    "SpouseLastNameFirst": false,
    "FatherName": "",
    "GrandfatherName": ""
  },
  "BlockStatus": {
    "IsBlocked": false,
    "Reason": "",
    "Comment": ""
  },
  "__GROUP__": [],
  "UserID": "8675309",
  "__NAME__": "WALTER, TAYLOR",
  "UsersManagers": [],
  "InBasketClassifications": [],
  "__ENABLE__": false
}

You can then confirm the account has been deleted by querying the UserID:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--request GET \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/Epic/__ACCOUNT__/8675309"
{
  "code": 404,
  "reason": "Not Found",
  "message": "Object 8675309 not found on system/Epic/__ACCOUNT__"

OpenICF Interfaces Implemented by the Epic Connector

The Epic Connector implements the following OpenICF interfaces. For additional details, see ICF interfaces:

Create

Creates an object and its uid.

Delete

Deletes an object, referenced by its uid.

Schema

Describes the object types, operations, and options that the connector supports.

Script on Connector

Enables an application to run a script in the context of the connector.

Any script that runs on the connector has the following characteristics:

  • The script runs in the same execution environment as the connector and has access to all the classes to which the connector has access.

  • The script has access to a connector variable that is equivalent to an initialized instance of the connector. At a minimum, the script can access the connector configuration.

  • The script has access to any script arguments passed in by the application.

Search

Searches the target resource for all objects that match the specified object class and filter.

Test

Tests the connector configuration.

Testing a configuration checks all elements of the environment that are referred to by the configuration are available. For example, the connector might make a physical connection to a host that is specified in the configuration to verify that it exists and that the credentials that are specified in the configuration are valid.

This operation might need to connect to a resource, and, as such, might take some time. Do not invoke this operation too often, such as before every provisioning operation. The test operation is not intended to check that the connector is alive (that is, that its physical connection to the resource has not timed out).

You can invoke the test operation before a connector configuration has been validated.

Update

Updates (modifies or replaces) objects on a target resource.

Google Apps connector

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

IDM bundles a Google Apps connector, along with a sample connector configuration. The Google Apps connector lets you interact with Google’s web applications.

The Google Apps connector is subject to the API Limits and Quotas imposed by Google. The connector also adheres to the implementation guidelines set out by Google for implementing exponential backoff.

Configure the Google Apps connector

The Google Apps connector uses OAuth2 to authorize the connection to the Google service. To use this authorization mechanism, you must supply a clientId and clientSecret, to obtain an access token from Google. You can get the clientId and clientKey from the Google Developers Console after you have configured your Web Application.

A sample Google Apps connector configuration file is provided in samples/example-configurations/provisioners/provisioner.openicf-google.json

This excerpt shows a sample Google Apps connector configuration. The default location of the connector .jar file is openidm/connectors. Therefore, the value of the connectorHostRef property must be "#LOCAL":

{
    "connectorHostRef": "#LOCAL",
    "connectorName": "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.googleapps.GoogleAppsConnector",
    "bundleName": "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.googleapps-connector",
    "bundleVersion": "[1.5.0.0,1.6.0.0)"
},

The required configuration properties are as follows:

"configurationProperties": {
    "domain": "",
    "clientId": "",
    "clientSecret": null,
    "refreshToken": null
},
domain

Set to the domain name for OAuth 2-based authorization.

clientId

A client identifier, as issued by the OAuth 2 authorization server. For more information, see the following section of RFC 6749: Client Identifier.

clientSecret

Sometimes also known as the client password. OAuth 2 authorization servers can support the use of clientId and clientSecret credentials, as noted in the following section of RFC 6749: Client Password.

refreshToken

A client can use an OAuth 2 refresh token to continue accessing resources. For more information, see the following section of RFC 6749: Refresh Tokens.

For a sample Google Apps configuration that includes OAuth 2-based entries for configurationProperties, see Synchronize accounts with the Google Apps connector.

OpenICF Interfaces Implemented by the GoogleApps Connector

(1) Whether the property value is considered confidential, and is therefore encrypted in IDM.

(2) A list of operations in this column indicates that the property is required for those operations.

Use the Google Apps connector with a proxy server

If the IDM server is hosted behind a firewall and requests to the Google Apps server are routed through a proxy, you must specify the proxy host and port in the connector configuration so that the connector can pass this information to the lower Google API.

To specify the proxy server details, set the proxyHost, proxyPort and validateCertificate properties in the connector configuration. For example:

"configurationProperties": {
    ...
    "proxyHost": "myproxy.home.com",
    "proxyPort": 8080,
    "validateCertificate": true,
    ...
}

The validateCertificate property indicates whether the proxy server should validate the server certificate from the local truststore.

Supported resource types

The Google Apps connector uses the Google Enterprise License Manager and Directory APIs to perform CRUD operations against resources within a Google Apps domain.

The following table lists the resource types that are supported by the Google Apps connector:

Supported Resource Types With the Google Apps Connector
ICF Native Type Google Resource Type Naming Attribute

__ACCOUNT__

user

primaryEmail

__GROUP__

group

email

Member

member

{groupKey}/email

OrgUnit

orgUnit

{parentOrgUnitPath}/__NAME__

LicenseAssignment

licenseAssignment

{productId}/sku/{skuId}/user/{primaryEmail}

Functional limitations

The Google Apps connector is subject to the following functional limitations:

  • In an UPDATE request, the old object (before the update) is returned in the request result. This behavior differs from that for other connectors, where the updated object is returned.

    Although the update is processed correctly, there is a significant delay from Google, and IDM sends its GET request to return the object before the update has taken effect. This behavior has no impact on the success of the update.

  • The connector does not implement the ICF Sync operation so you cannot use the connector for liveSync of supported Google Apps resources to IDM managed objects.

  • The connector does not implement the Authenticate operation so you cannot use the connector to perform pass-through authentication between IDM and a Google Apps domain. You can also not use this connector to perform password Change operations (as opposed to password Reset) because the connector cannot authenticate on behalf of the end user.

  • Support for Filters when performing Search operations is limited to those attributes described in connector-reference:google.adoc#google-apps-search-filters.

  • Google Apps creates a new User Alias each time the primaryEmail address associated with the User object is modified. You cannot delete User Aliases with the Google Apps connector so you must manage Aliases directly from within the Google Apps console.

  • For PATCH requests, a connector can potentially add, remove, or replace an attribute value. The Google Apps connector does not implement the add or remove operations, so a PATCH request always replaces the entire attribute value with the new value.

Supported search filters

The Google Apps connector supports filtered searches against Google Apps resources. However, limitations imposed by the APIs provided by the Google Apps Admin SDK prevent filtering of resource types based on arbitrary attributes and values.

The following filter operators and attributes are supported for Search operations with the Google Apps connector:

Supported Operators and Filter Attributes With Google Apps Searches
Object Type Operators Attributes

__ACCOUNT__

Google Cloud Platform connector

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is a suite of cloud computing services offered by Google. The GCP connector lets you manage and synchronize accounts between GCP and IDM managed user objects. A GCP administrator account is required for this connector to work.

Before you start

Before you configure the connector, log in to your GCP administrator account and note the following:

Domain name

The domain name of the account on GCP—for example, example.com.

Private key

The private key is required to sign the JWT token used to authenticate with GCP.

Service account

The GCP connector uses a service account with two-legged OAuth to connect to GCP. A service account is identified by its email address, which is unique to the account.

Admin user

The GCP administrator username.

The Admin SDK API must also be enabled to allow viewing and managing users in the Google Cloud Platform.

Install the GCP connector

Download the connector .jar file from the ForgeRock BackStage download site.

  • If you are running the connector locally, place it in the /path/to/openidm/connectors directory, for example:

    mv ~/Downloads/gcp-connector-1.5.20.15.jar /path/to/openidm/connectors/
  • If you are using a remote connector server (RCS), place it in the /path/to/openicf/connectors directory on the RCS.

Configure the GCP connector

Create a connector configuration using the admin UI:

  1. Select Configure > Connectors and click New Connector.

  2. Enter a Connector Name.

  3. Select GCP Connector - 1.5.20.15 as the Connector Type.

  4. Provide the Base Connector Details.

  5. Click Save.

After the connector is configured, it displays as Active in the admin UI.

You can test the configuration is correct by running the following command:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request POST \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/gcp?_action=test"
{
  "name": "gcp",
  "enabled": true,
  "config": "config/provisioner.openicf/gcp",
  "connectorRef": {
    "bundleVersion": "[1.5.0.0,1.6.0.0)",
    "bundleName": "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.gcp-connector",
    "connectorName": "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.gcp.GcpConnector"
  },
  "displayName": "GCP Connector",
  "objectTypes": [
    "__ACCOUNT__",
    "__ALL__"
  ],
  "ok": true
}

If the command returns "ok": true, your connector was configured correctly and can authenticate to the Google Cloud Platform system.

OpenICF Interfaces Implemented by the GCP Connector

The GCP Connector implements the following OpenICF interfaces. For additional details, see ICF interfaces:

Create

Creates an object and its uid.

Delete

Deletes an object, referenced by its uid.

Schema

Describes the object types, operations, and options that the connector supports.

Script on Connector

Enables an application to run a script in the context of the connector.

Any script that runs on the connector has the following characteristics:

  • The script runs in the same execution environment as the connector and has access to all the classes to which the connector has access.

  • The script has access to a connector variable that is equivalent to an initialized instance of the connector. At a minimum, the script can access the connector configuration.

  • The script has access to any script arguments passed in by the application.

Search

Searches the target resource for all objects that match the specified object class and filter.

Test

Tests the connector configuration.

Testing a configuration checks all elements of the environment that are referred to by the configuration are available. For example, the connector might make a physical connection to a host that is specified in the configuration to verify that it exists and that the credentials that are specified in the configuration are valid.

This operation might need to connect to a resource, and, as such, might take some time. Do not invoke this operation too often, such as before every provisioning operation. The test operation is not intended to check that the connector is alive (that is, that its physical connection to the resource has not timed out).

You can invoke the test operation before a connector configuration has been validated.

Update

Updates (modifies or replaces) objects on a target resource.

Groovy Connector Toolkit

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

The generic Groovy Connector Toolkit runs a Groovy script for any ICF operation, such as search, update, create, and others, on any external resource.

The Groovy Connector Toolkit is not a complete connector in the traditional sense. Rather, it is a framework within which you must write your own Groovy scripts to address the requirements of your implementation.

Configure scripted Groovy connectors

You cannot configure a scripted Groovy connector through the UI. Configure the connector over REST, as described in Configure Connectors Over REST.

Alternatively, create a connector configuration file in your project’s conf directory. A number of sample configurations for scripted Groovy implementations are provided in openidm/samples/example-configurations/provisioners/provisioner.openicf-scriptedimplementation.json. Use these as the basis for configuring your own scripted connector.

The Samples describes a number of scripted connector implementations. The scripts provided with these samples demonstrate how the Groovy Connector Toolkit can be used. These scripts cannot be used as is in your deployment, but are a good starting point from which to base your customization. For information about writing your own scripts, see Scripted connectors with Groovy.

Validate pooled connections

The scripted SQL connector uses the Tomcat JDBC Connection Pool to manage its connections. Occasionally, a JDBC resource accessed by the scripted SQL connector might become unavailable for a period. When the resource comes back online, IDM is able to recover automatically and resume operations. However, the connector might not be able to refresh its connection pool and might then pass a closed connection to its scripts. This can affect operations until IDM is restarted.

To avoid this situation, you can configure connection validation, where connections are validated before being borrowed from the connection pool.

To configure connection validation, add the following properties to the configurationProperties object in your connector configuration:

testOnBorrow

Validates the connection object before it is borrowed from the pool. If the object fails to validate, it is dropped from the pool and the connector attempts to borrow another object.

For this property to have an effect, you must set validationQuery to a non-null string.

validationQuery

The SQL query used to validate connections from the pool before returning them to the caller.

The precise query will differ, depending on the database that you are accessing. The following list provides sample queries for common databases:

HyperSQL DataBase (HSQLDB)
select 1 from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SYSTEM_USERS
Oracle DB
select 1 from dual
DB2
select 1 from sysibm.sysdummy1
MySQL
select 1
Microsoft SQL
select 1
PostgreSQL
select 1
Ingres Database
select 1
Apache Derby
values 1
H2 Database
select 1
Firebird SQL
select 1 from rdb$database
validationInterval

Specifies the maximum frequency (in milliseconds) at which validation is run. If a connection is due for validation but was previously validated within this interval, it is not validated again.

The larger the value, the better the connector performance. However, with a large value you increase the chance of a stale connection being presented to the connector.

Connection validation can have an impact on performance and should not be done too frequently. With the following configuration, connections are validated no more than every 34 seconds:

{
    ...
    "configurationProperties" : {
        ...
        "testOnBorrow" : true,
        "validationQuery" : "select 1 from dual",
        "validationInterval" : 34000,
        ...
    },
    ...
}

Use custom properties in scripts

The customConfiguration and customSensitiveConfiguration properties enable you to inject custom properties into your scripts. Properties listed in customSensitiveConfiguration are encrypted.

For example, the following excerpt of the scripted Kerberos provisioner file shows how these properties inject the Kerberos user and encrypted password into the scripts, using the kadmin command.

"customConfiguration" : "kadmin { cmd = '/usr/sbin/kadmin.local'; user='<KADMIN USERNAME>'; default_realm='<REALM>' }",
"customSensitiveConfiguration" : "kadmin { password = '<KADMIN PASSWORD>'}",

Debug Groovy scripts

When you call a Groovy script from the Groovy connector, you can use the SLF4J logging facility to obtain debug information.

For instructions on how to use this facility, see the KnowledgeBase article How do I add logging to Groovy scripts in IDM.

Script compilation and caching

The first time a script is read, it is compiled (from Groovy script to Java bytecode) and cached in memory. Each time the script is called, the Groovy script engine checks the last modified of the script file to see if it has changed. If it has not changed, the cached bytecode is executed. If it has changed, the script is reloaded, compiled and cached.

HubSpot connector

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

The HubSpot connector lets you synchronize HubSpot contacts and companies with managed objects in an IDM repository.

This topic describes how to install and configure the HubSpot connector, and how to perform basic tests to ensure that it’s running correctly.

For a complete example that includes the configuration required to synchronize users with this connector, see Synchronize data between IDM and HubSpot.

Before you configure the HubSpot connector, you must have a client app in HubSpot, with the corresponding clientID, clientSecret and refreshToken.

Install the HubSpot connector

  1. Download the connector .jar file from the ForgeRock BackStage download site.

    • If you are running the connector locally, place it in the /path/to/openidm/connectors directory, for example:

      mv ~/Downloads/hubspot-connector-1.5.2.0.jar /path/to/openidm/connectors/
    • If you are using a remote connector server (RCS), place it in the /path/to/openicf/connectors directory on the RCS.

Configure the HubSpot connector

If you had already started IDM (or your RCS) before copying the connector .jar file to the connectors directory, you must restart the server for the connector to be loaded.

Create a connector configuration using the admin UI:

  1. From the navigation bar, click Configure > Connectors.

  2. On the Connectors page, click New Connector.

  3. On the New Connector page, type a Connector Name.

  4. From the Connector Type drop-down list, select HubSpot Connector - 1.5.2.0.

  5. Complete the Base Connector Details.

  6. Click Save.

Alternatively, configure the connector with a configuration file.

IDM provides a sample connector configuration file in the /path/to/openidm/samples/example-configurations/provisioners directory. Copy this sample file (provisioner.openicf-hubspot.json) to your project’s conf directory.

Adjust the configurationProperties to match your HubSpot application details. You must provide a clientId, clientSecret, and refreshToken. Other properties are optional:

"configurationProperties" : {
    "clientId" : "daa533ae-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-6e66d84e6448",
    "clientSecret" : "c598a365-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-24b32b6ae04d",
    "refreshToken" : "f37e1132-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-4b9e724ce4a0",
    "acceptSelfSignedCertificates" : true,
    "readSchema" : "true",
    "disableHostNameVerifier" : false,
    "maximumConnections" : "10",
    "permitsPerSecond" : "10",
    "httpProxyHost" : null,
    "httpProxyPort" : null
}

IDM encrypts the clientSecret and refreshToken as soon as the connector is enabled.

When your connector is configured correctly, the connector displays as Active in the UI.

Alternatively, test the configuration over REST:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request POST \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system?_action=test"
[
  {
    "name": "hubspot",
    "enabled": true,
    "config": "config/provisioner.openicf/hubspot",
    "connectorRef": {
      "bundleVersion": "[1.5.0.0,1.6.0.0)",
      "bundleName": "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.hubspot-connector",
      "connectorName": "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.hubspot.HubspotConnector"
    },
    "displayName": "Hubspot Connector",
    "objectTypes": [
      "company",
      "contactProperties",
      "__ALL__",
      "companyProperties",
      "contact"
    ],
    "ok": true
  }
]

A status of "ok": true indicates that the connector can connect to HubSpot.

Implementation specifics

For PATCH requests, a connector can potentially add, remove, or replace an attribute value. The HubSpot connector does not implement the add or remove operations, so a PATCH request always replaces the entire attribute value with the new value.

Using the HubSpot connector With a proxy server

If the IDM server is hosted behind a firewall and requests to the resource provider are routed through a proxy, you must specify the proxy host and port in the connector configuration.

To specify the proxy server details, set the httpProxyHost, and httpProxyPort properties in the connector configuration. For example:

"configurationProperties": {
    ...
    "httpProxyHost": "myproxy.home.com",
    "httpProxyPort": 8080,
    ...
}

OpenICF interfaces implemented by the Hubspot connector

The Hubspot Connector implements the following OpenICF interfaces.

Create

Creates an object and its uid.

Delete

Deletes an object, referenced by its uid.

Schema

Describes the object types, operations, and options that the connector supports.

Script on Connector

Enables an application to run a script in the context of the connector. Any script that runs on the connector has the following characteristics:

  • The script runs in the same execution environment as the connector and has access to all the classes to which the connector has access.

  • The script has access to a connector variable that is equivalent to an initialized instance of the connector. At a minimum, the script can access the connector configuration.

  • The script has access to any script-arguments passed in by the application.

Search

Searches the target resource for all objects that match the specified object class and filter.

Test

Tests the connector configuration. Testing a configuration checks all elements of the environment that are referred to by the configuration are available. For example, the connector might make a physical connection to a host that is specified in the configuration to verify that it exists and that the credentials that are specified in the configuration are valid.

This operation might need to connect to a resource, and, as such, might take some time. Do not invoke this operation too often, such as before every provisioning operation. The test operation is not intended to check that the connector is alive (that is, that its physical connection to the resource has not timed out).

You can invoke the test operation before a connector configuration has been validated.

Update

Updates (modifies or replaces) objects on a target resource.

Kerberos connector

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

The Kerberos connector is an implementation of the SSH connector, and is based on Java Secure Channel (JSch) and the Java implementation of the Expect library (Expect4j).

The Kerberos connector lets you manage Kerberos user principals from IDM. The connector bundles a number of Groovy scripts, to interact with a Kerberos admin server. You should not edit the bundled Groovy scripts. The scripts use the kadmin utility to communicate with the Kerberos server.

The Kerberos connector lets you perform the following operations on Kerberos user principals:

  • List the existing principals.

  • Display the details of a principal.

  • Add a user principal.

  • Change the password of a user principal and unlock the principal.

  • Delete a user principal.

Kerberos connector schema

The Kerberos connector can only be used to manage the Kerberos principal object type (which maps to the ICF __ACCOUNT__ object). The following attributes are supported in the schema:

  • principal - (maps to __NAME__ and __UID__)

  • __PASSWORD__ - updatable, required when an object is created

  • __LOCK_OUT__ - updatable only; unlock an account by setting this attribute to false

  • policy - the password policy used by the principal

  • expirationDate - the date that the user principal expires

  • passwordExpiration - the date that the password expires

  • maximumTicketLife - the maximum ticket life for the principal. At the end of the ticket lifetime, the ticket can no longer be used. However, if the renewable lifetime (maximumRenewableLife) is longer than the ticket lifetime, the ticket holder can present the ticket to the KDC and request a new ticket.

  • maximumRenewableLife - the period during which the ticket can be renewed. A renewed ticket usually has a new ticket lifetime, dating from the time that it was renewed, that is constrained by the renewable ticket lifetime.

In addition, the following read-only attributes are supported:

  • lastPasswordChange

  • lastModified

  • lastSuccessfulAuthentication

  • lastFailedAuthentication

  • failedPasswordAttempts

Configure the Kerberos connector

Create a connector configuration using the admin UI:

  1. From the navigation bar, click Configure > Connectors.

  2. On the Connectors page, click New Connector.

  3. On the New Connector page, type a Connector Name.

  4. From the Connector Type drop-down list, select Kerberos Connector - 1.5.20.15.

  5. Complete the Base Connector Details.

  6. Click Save.

Alternatively, configure the connector with a configuration file.

+ A sample connector configuration (provisioner.openicf-kerberos.json) is provided in the /path/to/openidm/samples/sync-with-kerberos/conf/ directory. Copy the sample connector configuration to your project’s conf/ directory, and adjust it to match your Kerberos environment.

  1. Set the authentication properties, as described in Configure Authentication to the SSH Server. In addition, set at least the following properties:

customConfiguration

Specify the details of the user principal and the default realm here. The sample connector configuration is as follows:

"customConfiguration" : "kadmin {
    cmd = '/usr/sbin/kadmin.local';
    user = '<KADMIN USERNAME>';
    default_realm = '<REALM, e.g. EXAMPLE.COM>'
}"

A complete custom configuration will look something like this:

"customConfiguration" : "kadmin {
    cmd = '/usr/sbin/kadmin.local';
    user = 'openidm/admin';
    default_realm = 'EXAMPLE.COM'
}"
customSensitiveConfiguration

Set the password for the user principal here. The sample connector configuration is as follows:

"customSensitiveConfiguration" : "kadmin {password = '<KADMIN PASSWORD>'}"

Change this to reflect your user principal password, for example:

"customSensitiveConfiguration" : "kadmin {password = 'Passw0rd'}"
Basic Kerberos Connector Configuration

This list describes the basic Kerberos connector configuration properties. For a complete list, see Configuration Properties:

host

The host name or IP address of the SSH server on which the kadmin command is run.

port

The port number on which the SSH server listens.

Default: 22 (the default SSH port)

user

The username of the account that is used to connect to the SSH server.

This is not the same as your Kerberos user principal. This account must be able to ssh into the server on which Kerberos is running, with the password provided in the next parameter.

If you use the root user, the sudo command in the Test script will never get the 'pass::' prompt. Instead of using the root user, create a regular user and add that user to the group that has sudo privileges. Alternatively, modify the Test script so that it does not use sudo.

password

The password of the account that is used to connect to the SSH server.

prompt

A string representing the remote SSH session prompt. This must be the exact prompt string, in the format username@target:, for example root@localhost:~$.

If the prompt includes a trailing space, you must include the space in the value of this property.

Consider customizing your Linux prompt with the PS1 and PS2 variables, to set a safe prompt. For information about customizing prompts, see this article.

sudoCommand

A string that shows the full path to the sudo command; for example /usr/bin/sudo.

echoOff

If set to true (the default), the input command echo is disabled. If set to false, every character that is sent to the server is sent back to the client in the expect() call.

terminalType

Sets the terminal type to use for the session. The list of supported types is determined by your Linux/UNIX system. For more information, see the terminfo manual page (man terminfo).

Default: vt102

setLocale

If set to true, indicates that the default environment locale should be changed to the value of the locale property.

Default: false

locale

Sets the locale for LC_ALL, LANG, and LANGUAGE environment variables, if setLocale is set to true.

Default: en_US.utf8

connectionTimeout

Specifies the connection timeout to the remote server, in milliseconds.

Default: 5000

expectTimeout

Specifies the timeout used by the expect() calls in scripts, in milliseconds.

Default: 5000

authenticationType

Sets the authentication type, either PASSWORD or PUBKEY. For more information, see connector-reference:ssh.adoc#ssh-authentication.

Default: PASSWORD

throwOperationTimeoutException

If true, the connector throws an exception when the timeout is reached for an operation. Otherwise, the operation fails silently.

Default: true

scriptRoots

The path to the Groovy scripts that will perform the ICF operations, relative to your installation directory. For the Kerberos connector, the scripts are bundled up in the connector .jar file, so this path is set to jar:file:connectors/kerberos-connector-1.5.20.15.jar!/script/kerberos/ in the sample connector configuration.

classpath

The directory in which the compiler should look for compiled classes. The default classpath, if not is specified, is install-dir/lib.

ScriptFileName

The script that is used for each ICF operation. Do not change these script names in the bundled Kerberos connector.

OpenICF Interfaces Implemented by the Kerberos Connector

The Kerberos Connector implements the following OpenICF interfaces. For additional details, see ICF interfaces:

Authenticate

Provides simple authentication with two parameters, presumed to be a user name and password.

Create

Creates an object and its uid.

Delete

Deletes an object, referenced by its uid.

Resolve Username

Resolves an object by its username and returns the uid of the object.

Schema

Describes the object types, operations, and options that the connector supports.

Script on Connector

Enables an application to run a script in the context of the connector.

Any script that runs on the connector has the following characteristics:

  • The script runs in the same execution environment as the connector and has access to all the classes to which the connector has access.

  • The script has access to a connector variable that is equivalent to an initialized instance of the connector. At a minimum, the script can access the connector configuration.

  • The script has access to any script arguments passed in by the application.

Script on Resource

Runs a script on the target resource that is managed by this connector.

Search

Searches the target resource for all objects that match the specified object class and filter.

Sync

Polls the target resource for synchronization events, that is, native changes to objects on the target resource.

Test

Tests the connector configuration.

Testing a configuration checks all elements of the environment that are referred to by the configuration are available. For example, the connector might make a physical connection to a host that is specified in the configuration to verify that it exists and that the credentials that are specified in the configuration are valid.

This operation might need to connect to a resource, and, as such, might take some time. Do not invoke this operation too often, such as before every provisioning operation. The test operation is not intended to check that the connector is alive (that is, that its physical connection to the resource has not timed out).

You can invoke the test operation before a connector configuration has been validated.

Update

Updates (modifies or replaces) objects on a target resource.

LDAP connector

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

The LDAP connector is based on the Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI), and can connect to any LDAPv3-compliant directory server, such as ForgeRock Directory Services (DS), Active Directory, SunDS, Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition, IBM Security Directory Server, and OpenLDAP.

Because it is based on JNDI, the LDAP connector is restricted to the attribute types that are supported by JNDI. JNDI supports only strings and an array of bytes. If you attempt to use different attribute value types, the connector throws a malformed attribute value exception. For more information, see the corresponding JNDI documentation.

Configure the LDAP connector

Create a connector configuration using the admin UI:

  1. From the navigation bar, click Configure > Connectors.

  2. On the Connectors page, click New Connector.

  3. On the New Connector page, type a Connector Name.

  4. From the Connector Type drop-down list, select LDAP Connector - 1.5.20.15.

  5. Complete the Base Connector Details.

  6. Click Save.

Alternatively, configure the connector with a configuration file.

IDM provides several sample LDAP connector configurations in the path/to/openidm/samples/example-configurations/provisioners/ directory. Copy one of the sample connector configurations to your project’s conf directory, and adjust it to match your LDAP environment:

  • provisioner.openicf-ldap.json—a sample LDAP connector configuration for a generic LDAP server.

  • provisioner.openicf-dsldap.json—a sample LDAP connector configuration for a ForgeRock Directory Services (DS) server.

  • provisioner.openicf-adldap.json—a sample LDAP connector configuration for an Active Directory server.

You should be able to adapt one of these sample configurations for any LDAPv3-compliant server.

Sample LDAP Connector Configuration

This configuration shows the properties for an LDAP connector connecting to DS. For more information about the properties that affect synchronization, see connector-reference:ldap.adoc#ldap-connector-sync-controls.

},
host

The host name or IP address of the server on which the LDAP instance is running.

port

The port on which the LDAP server listens for LDAP requests. The sample configuration specifies a default port of 1389.

ssl

If true, the specified port listens for LDAPS connections.

For instructions on using the LDAP connector over SSL, see Configure the LDAP Connector to Use SSL and StartTLS.

startTLS

Specifies whether to use the startTLS operation to initiate a TLS/SSL session. To use startTLS, set "startTLS":true, and "ssl":false. Your connection should use the insecure LDAP port (typically 389 or 1389 for a DS server).

Specify the certificates that should be used for authentication, as described in Configure the LDAP Connector to Use SSL and StartTLS.

principal

The bind DN that is used to connect to the LDAP server.

credentials

The password of the principal that is used to connect to the LDAP server.

baseContexts

One or more starting points in the LDAP tree that will be used when searching the tree. Searches are performed when discovering users from the LDAP server or when looking for the groups of which a user is a member. During reconciliation operations, IDM searches through the base contexts listed in this property for changes. For more information, see Control What the LDAP Connector Synchronizes.

baseContextsToSynchronize

One or more starting points in the LDAP tree that will be used to determine if a change should be synchronized. During liveSync operations, IDM searches through the base contexts listed in this property for changes. If no value is specified here, the values in listed in the baseContexts property are used. For more information, see Control What the LDAP Connector Synchronizes.

accountSynchronizationFilter

Used during synchronization actions to filter out LDAP accounts. For more information, see Control What the LDAP Connector Synchronizes.

accountObjectClasses

This property lists all the object classes that represent an account. If this property has multiple values, an AND filter is used to determine the affected entries. For example, if the value of this property is ["organizationalPerson", "inetOrgPerson"], any entry with the object class organizationalPerson AND the object class inetOrgPerson is considered as an account entry. You can override the value of this property by specifying the user object classes during the create operation.

If no object class is specified when you create a user, this property is used as the default list of object classes for the new entry.

accountSearchFilter

Search filter that user accounts must match. For more information, see Control What the LDAP Connector Synchronizes.

accountUserNameAttributes

Attributes holding the account’s user name. Used during authentication to find the LDAP entry matching the user name.

attributesToSynchronize

List of attributes used during object synchronization. IDM ignores change log updates that do not include any of the specified attributes. If empty, IDM considers all changes. For more information, see Control What the LDAP Connector Synchronizes.

blockSize

Block size for simple paged results and VLV index searches, reflecting the maximum number of entries retrieved at any one time.

changeLogBlockSize

Block size used when fetching change log entries.

changeNumberAttribute

Change log attribute containing the last change number.

failover

LDAP URLs specifying alternative LDAP servers to connect to if IDM cannot connect to the primary LDAP server specified in the host and port properties.

filterWithOrInsteadOfAnd

In most cases, the filter to fetch change log entries is AND-based. If this property is set, the filter ORs the required change numbers instead.

groupMemberAttribute

LDAP attribute holding members for non-POSIX static groups.

groupSearchFilter

Search filter that group entries must match.

maintainLdapGroupMembership

If true, IDM modifies group membership when entries are renamed or deleted.

Does not apply to Active Directory.

In the sample LDAP connector configuration, this property is set to false. This means that LDAP group membership is not modified when entries are renamed or deleted in IDM. To ensure that entries are removed from LDAP groups when the entries are deleted, set this property to true or enable referential integrity on the LDAP server. For information about configuring referential integrity in DS, see Referential Integrity in the Configuration Guide for ForgeRock Directory Services.

maintainPosixGroupMembership

If true, IDM modifies POSIX group membership when entries are renamed or deleted.

modifiersNamesToFilterOut

Use this property to avoid loops caused by changes made to managed user objects being synchronized. For more information, see Control What the LDAP Connector Synchronizes.

objectClassesToSynchronize

IDM synchronizes only entries that have these object classes. For more information, see Control What the LDAP Connector Synchronizes.

passwordAttribute

Attribute to which IDM writes the predefined PASSWORD attribute.

passwordHashAlgorithm

Hash password values with the specified algorithm, if the LDAP server stores them in clear text. The hash algorithm can be one of the following:

NONE

Cleartext.

WIN-AD

Used for password changes to Active Directory.

SHA

Secure Hash Algorithm.

SHA-1

A 160-bit hash algorithm that resembles the MD5 algorithm.

SSHA

Salted SHA.

MD5

A 128-bit message-digest algorithm.

SMD5

Salted MD5 .

readSchema

If true, read the schema from the LDAP server.

This property is used only during the connector setup, to generate the object types.

If this property is false, the LDAP connector provides a basic default schema that can manage LDAP users and groups. The default schema maps inetOrgPerson to the OpenICF __ACCOUNT__ property, and groupOfUniqueNames to the OpenICF __GROUP__ property. The following LDAP object classes are also included in the default schema:

  • organization

  • organizationalUnit

  • person

  • organizationalPerson

  • account

  • groupOfNames

removeLogEntryObjectClassFromFilter

If true, the filter to fetch change log entries does not contain the changeLogEntry object class, and IDM expects no entries with other object types in the change log. The default setting is true.

respectResourcePasswordPolicyChangeAfterReset

If true, bind with the Password Expired and Password Policy controls, and throw PasswordExpiredException and other exceptions appropriately.

uidAttribute

Specifies the LDAP attribute that should be used as the immutable ID for the entry. You can use a DN (or any unique attribute) for the id. As a best practice, you _should use an attribute that is both unique and immutable, such as the entryUUID. For a DS resource, you must use the entryUUID as the uidAttribute, otherwise you might encounter problems with synchronizing delete operations.

useBlocks

If useBlocks is false, no pagination is used. If useBlocks is true, the connector uses block-based LDAP controls, either the simple paged results control, or the virtual list view control, depending on the setting of the usePagedResultControl property.

usePagedResultControl

Taken into account only if useBlocks is true. If usePagedResultControl is false, the connector uses the virtual list view (VLV) control, if it is available. If usePagedResultControl is true, the connector uses the simple paged results control for search operations.

useTimestampsForSync

If true, use timestamps for liveSync operations, instead of the change log.

By default, the LDAP connector has a change log strategy for LDAP servers that support a change log, such as ForgeRock Directory Services (DS) and Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition. If the LDAP server does not support a change log, or if the change log is disabled, liveSync for create and modify operations can still occur, based on the timestamps of modifications.

Regardless of the useTimestampsForSync value, the connector uses a timestamp strategy for liveSync for the following LDAP server types:

  • MS Active Directory Global Catalog

  • OpenLDAP

  • Unknown

    An LDAP server type is marked unknown if it is anything other than IBM, Novell, UnboundIDD, RedHat/Fedora 389, CA LDAP, OpenDS, ForgeRock OpenDJ / DS, Sun DSEE Directory, Microsoft Active Directory, Microsoft Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (LDS), Microsoft Active Directory Global Catalog, or OpenLDAP.

vlvSortAttribute

Attribute used as the sort key for virtual list view.

sendCAUDTxId

If true, propagate the Common Audit Transaction ID to a DS server.

Configure the LDAP connector to use SSL and StartTLS

To use the LDAP connector over SSL, update your connector configuration as follows:

  1. For a connection over SSL, set the ssl property to true and set the port to a secure port, for example, 636.

    To initiate a connection using startTLS, set "startTLS":true, and "ssl":false. Set the port to an insecure LDAP port, for example, 389.

  2. If you are using a CA-signed server certificate, add that certificate to the IDM truststore, for example:

    keytool \
     -importcert \
     -alias server-cert \
     -keystore /path/to/openidm/security/truststore \
     -storepass changeit \
     -file /path/to/server-cert.crt
  3. Specify the certificate that the LDAP connector will use to authenticate to the remote LDAP server.

    By default, the LDAP connector uses the self-signed certificate that is generated in the IDM keystore when IDM first starts up. You have two options to change this default behavior:

    • Set the privateKeyAlias to the alias of a certificate in the IDM keystore. The alias name is case-sensitive.

      If you set privateKeyAlias to null, no private key is sent during the SSL handshake, so only the server certificate is used. You must import the server certificate into the IDM truststore, as shown in the previous step.

      If privateKeyAlias is set to an alias within the IDM keystore, the connector uses that private key for SSL mutual authentication.

    • Specify a different keystore for the connector.

      If you do not want to use the default IDM keystore, set the following properties:

      • alternateKeyStore - specifies the full path to an alternate keystore.

      • alternateKeyStoreType - specifies alternate keystore type. Valid values are JKS, JCEKS and PKCS12.

      • alternateKeyStorePassword - specifies password for the alternate keystore.

  4. Enable hostname verification to prevent a third party from manipulating DNS entries or spoofing the LDAP Server IP.

    When hostname verification is enabled, the connector compares the hostname in the certificate subject and subjectAltName with a simple hostname pattern defined in the hostNameVerification property.

    To enable hostname verification, set "hostNameVerification" : true and set the hostNameVerification property to the hostname you want to match. If the pattern matches, the connector is initialized successfully. If the pattern does not match, connector initialization throws an error. The hostNameVerification property supports wild card matching.

    Assume, for example, a server certificate principal hostname of server1.example.com. With the following connector configuration, IDM starts up and the connector is initialized:

    "configurationProperties" : {
        ...
        "hostNameVerification" : true,
        "hostNameVerifierPattern" : "server1.example.com",
        ...
    }

    Similarly, with the following connector configuration, IDM starts up and the connector is initialized:

    "configurationProperties" : {
        ...
        "hostNameVerification" : true,
        "hostNameVerifierPattern" : "*.example.com",
        ...
    }

    With the following connector configuration, IDM starts up but connector initialization throws an error:

    "configurationProperties" : {
        ...
        "hostNameVerification" : true,
        "hostNameVerifierPattern" : "server2.example.com",
        ...
    }

    The error returned is similar to the following:

    The host name from the server certificate'CN=server1.example.com' does not match the provided pattern 'server2.example.com'

Control what the LDAP connector synchronizes

To control the set of LDAP entries that are affected by reconciliation and automatic synchronization operations, set the following properties in the provisioner configuration. Automatic synchronization includes liveSync (synchronization of changes from the LDAP server to IDM) and implicit sync (synchronization from IDM to the LDAP server). For more information, see Synchronization types.

accountSearchFilter

Only user accounts that match this filter are searched, and therefore affected by reconciliation and synchronization operations. If you do not set this property, all accounts within the base contexts specified previously are searched.

accountSynchronizationFilter

This property is used during reconciliation and automatic synchronization operations, and filters out any LDAP accounts that you specifically want to exclude from these operations.

attributesToSynchronize

During automatic synchronization operations, only the attributes listed here are considered for changes. Objects that include these attributes are synchronized. Objects that do not include these attributes are ignored. If this property is not set, IDM considers changes to all attributes specified in the mapping.

This attribute works only with LDAP servers that log changes in a change log, not with servers (such as Active Directory) that use other mechanisms to track changes.

baseContexts

The starting points in the LDAP tree that are used when searching the directory tree; for example, dc=example,dc=com. These base contexts must include the set of users and the set of groups that must be searched during reconciliation operations.

baseContextsToSynchronize

The starting points in the LDAP tree that are used to determine if a change should be synchronized. This property is used only for automatic synchronization operations. Only entries that fall under these base contexts are considered during synchronization operations.

modifiersNamesToFilterOut

This property lets you define a list of DNs. During synchronization operations, the connector ignores changes made by these DNs.

When a managed user object is updated, and that change is synchronized to the LDAP server, the change made on the LDAP server is recorded in the change log. A liveSync operation picks up the change, and attempts to replay the change on the managed user object, effectively resulting in a loop of updates.

To avoid this situation, you can specify a unique user in your LDAP directory, that will be used only for the LDAP connector. The unique user must be something other than uid=admin; for example, cn=idmuser. You can then include that user DN as the value of modifiersNamesToFilterOut. When a change is made through the LDAP connector, and that change is recorded in the change log, the modifier’s name (cn=idmuser) is flagged, and IDM does not attempt to replay the change back to the managed user repository. So, you are effectively indicating that IDM should not synchronize changes back to managed user that originated from managed user, thus preventing the update loop.

This attribute works only with LDAP servers that log changes in a change log, not with servers (such as Active Directory) that use other mechanisms to track changes.

objectClassesToSynchronize

During automatic synchronization operations, only the object classes listed here are considered for changes. IDM ignores change log updates (or changes to managed objects) which do not have any of the object classes listed here.

Use the LDAP connector with Active Directory

The LDAP connector provides functionality specifically for managing Active Directory users and groups. The connector can handle the following operational attributes to manage Active Directory accounts:

__ENABLE__

Uses the userAccountControl attribute to get or set the account status of an object.

The LDAP connector reads the userAccountControl to determine if an account is enabled or disabled. The connector modifies the value of the userAccountControl attribute if IDM changes the value of __ENABLE__.

__ACCOUNT_EXPIRES__

Sets the accountExpires attribute of an Active Directory object to reset an expired account, or to set a future expiration date.

To set an account that never expires, set "__ACCOUNT_EXPIRES__": "0".

To set an expiration date, set "__ACCOUNT_EXPIRES__": "date", where date is in ISO8601 format. For example:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--request PUT \
--data '{
  "__ACCOUNT_EXPIRES__": "2020-12-31T00:00:00Z"
}' \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/AD/account/e1418d64-096c-4cb0-b903-ebb66562d99d"
{
    "sn": "jensen",
    "__LOCK_OUT__": false,
    "__ENABLE__": true,
    "objectGUID": "e1418d64-096c-4cb0-b903-ebb66562d99d",
    "dn": "CN=bjensen,OU=create,DC=example,DC=com",
    "accountExpires": "2020-12-31T00:00:00Z"
}
__LOCK_OUT__

Uses the msDS-User-Account-Control-Computed system attribute to check if a user account has been locked.

If IDM sets __LOCK_OUT__ to FALSE, the LDAP connector sets the Active Directory lockoutTime to 0 to unlock the account.

If IDM sets __LOCK_OUT__ to TRUE, the LDAP connector ignores the change and logs a message.

__PASSWORD_EXPIRED__

Uses the msDS-User-Account-Control-Computed system attribute to check if a user password has expired.

To force password expiration (that is, to force a user to change their password when they next log in), set pwdLastSet to 0. The LDAP connector sets pwdLastSet to 0, if IDM sets __PASSWORD_EXPIRED__ to TRUE.

To remove password expiration, set pwdLastSet to 0 and then to -1. This sets the value of pwdLastSet to the current time. The LDAP connector sets pwdLastSet to -1 if IDM sets __PASSWORD_EXPIRED__ to FALSE.

Active Directory does not allow you to create an enabled account with an expired password. If you are using __PASSWORD_EXPIRED__ to force a new user to change their password when they next log in, you can create the user account as disabled initially (__ENABLE__=false). You can then patch the new user account to enable it. You can use the same workaround for synchronization operations, creating new user accounts as disabled, then issuing an openidm.patch call in a postCreate script to enable the account.
__CURRENT_PASSWORD__

For a password change request, the connector supplies the __CURRENT_PASSWORD__, along with the new password. The connector can also do a password reset where only the new password is supplied.

The sample connector configuration file (openidm/samples/example-configurations/provisioners/provisioner.openicf-adldap.json) includes these operational attributes. Note that the passwordAttribute property in this provisioner file is set to unicodePwd. This property specifies the attribute in Active Directory that holds the user password. When a user’s password is changed, the new value is set in this attribute.

Manage Active Directory users with the LDAP connector

If you create or update users in Active Directory, and those user entries include passwords, you must use the LDAP connector over SSL. You cannot create or update an Active Directory user password in clear text. To use the connector over SSL, follow the instructions in Configure the LDAP Connector to Use SSL and StartTLS.

The following command adds an Active Directory user. The output shows the operational attributes described in the previous section:

  • Previous versions of the LDAP connector appended <GUID= to the GUID for Active Directory objects. This behavior ensured compatibility with the legacy .NET connector.

    The LDAP connector no longer appends <GUID= to the object GUID. The new GUID format is compatible with objects created using the AD Powershell connector; for example, e1418d64-096c-4cb0-b903-ebb66562d99d. In existing deployments, this might mean that your links are incompatible with the new GUID format. To update links to the new format, run a reconciliation operation. To retain the legacy behavior, set "useOldADGUIDFormat" : true in your provisioner file.

  • You cannot sort by _id when you return results from an Active Directory (or Active Directory LDS) server. The _id attribute used by default is the objectGUID, which is a binary attribute, and cannot be used for sorting.

  • When you page and sort query results (using the sortKeys parameter), the pagedResultsCookie applies only to the first connection that makes the sorted, paginated query. Active Directory (and AD LDS) build a cached index for sorted searches, which is attached to the original connection.

Note that the command sets the userAccountControl to 512, which is an enabled account. The value of the userAccountControl determines the account policy. The following list describes the common values for the userAccountControl.

512

Enabled account.

514

Disabled account.

544

Enabled account, password not required.

546

Disabled account, password not required.

66048

Manage Active Directory groups with the LDAP connector

The following command creates a basic Active Directory group with the LDAP connector:

curl \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request POST \
--data '{
  "dn": "CN=Employees,DC=example,DC=com"
}' \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/ad/group?_action=create"
{
  "_id": "240da4e9-59d8-1547-ad86-29f5b2b5114d"
}

The LDAP connector exposes two special attributes to handle Active Directory group scope and type: GROUP_SCOPE and GROUP_TYPE.

The GROUP_SCOPE attribute is defined in the provisioner configuration as follows:

...
"__GROUP_SCOPE__" : {
    "type" : "string",
    "nativeName" : "__GROUP_SCOPE__",
    "nativeType" : "string"
},

The value of the GROUP_SCOPE attribute can be global, domain, or universal. If no group scope is set when the group is created, the scope is global by default. For more information about the different group scopes, see the corresponding Microsoft documentation.

The GROUP_TYPE attribute is defined in the provisioner configuration as follows:

...
"__GROUP_TYPE__" : {
 "type" : "string",
 "nativeName" : "__GROUP_TYPE__",
 "nativeType" : "string"
 },

The value of the GROUP_TYPE attribute can be security or distribution. If no group type is set when the group is created, the type is security by default. For more information about the different group types, see the corresponding Microsoft documentation.

The following example creates a new distribution group, with universal scope:

curl \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request POST \
--data '{
  "dn": "CN=NewGroup,DC=example,DC=com",
  "__GROUP_SCOPE__": "universal",
  "__GROUP_TYPE__": "distribution"
}' \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/ad/group?_action=create"
{
  "_id": "f189df8a-276f-9147-8ad5-055b1580cbcb"
}
Support for nested Active Directory groups

By default, Active Directory does not return members of a nested group when querying the parent group. Some additional configuration is required to return members of a nested Active Directory group.

To include members of a nested group, create a new nestedMembers attribute in your provisioner file:

"nestedMembers" : {
    "type" : "array",
    "items" : {
        "type" : "string",
        "nativeType" : "string"
    },
    "nativeName" : "memberOf:1.2.840.113556.1.4.1941:",
    "nativeType" : "string",
    "flags" : [
        "NOT_CREATABLE",
        "NOT_UPDATEABLE",
        "NOT_RETURNED_BY_DEFAULT"
    ]
},

Note that the nativeName property includes 1.2.840.113556.1.4.1941, which is the OID of LDAP_MATCHING_RULE_IN_CHAIN and LDAP_MATCHING_RULE_TRANSITIVE_EVAL. This is what tells Active Directory to include members of nested groups.

Querying this attribute will return results that include members of any nested groups of the queried group. For example:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request GET \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/ad/account?_queryFilter=nestedMembers+eq+"CN=ParentGroup,DC=example,DC=com"&_fields=cn"

Handle Active Directory dates

Most dates in Active Directory are represented as the number of 100-nanosecond intervals since January 1, 1601 (UTC). For example:

pwdLastSet: 130698687542272930

IDM generally represents dates as an ISO 8601-compliant string with yyyy-MM-dd’T’HH:mm:ssZ format. For example:

2015-03-02T20:17:48Z

The generic LDAP connector therefore converts any dates from Active Directory to ISO 8601 format, for fields such as pwdLastSet, accountExpires, lockoutTime, and lastLogon.

Multiple Active Directory domains

In a multi-domain Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) forest, the global catalog (GC) provides a read-only (searchable) representation of every object in the forest. Each domain controller (DC) in the forest stores a writable replica of the objects in its domain. Therefore, a DC can locate only the objects in its domain.

If your Active Directory deployment has only one domain controller, you can configure the connector to connect to that single domain controller. If your deployment spans multiple domains, you must configure the connector to connect to the Global Catalog (GC) to have a comprehensive view of all the domains.

Using a GC as the authoritative data source has the following limitations:

  • Only a subset of attributes is replicated from other domains to the GC.

    Certain attributes required by the LDAP connector might be missing. To avoid this problem, modify the Active Directory schema to ensure that the required attributes are replicated to the GC.

  • Delete operations are not detected immediately.

    A liveSync operation will therefore not update IDM with the result of a delete operation. Delete operations are detected by a reconciliation operation, so data stores are only temporarily "out of sync" with regard to deletes.

  • Not all group types are supported.

    Group membership information is replicated to the GC for universal groups only. You must therefore use universal groups if your directory service has more than one domain.

You can use the USN value for liveSync but must connect to the GC in this case, and ensure that you never failover to a different GC or to a DC. Using the USN for liveSync instead of the timestamp mechanism is generally preferred, because of the issue with detecting delete operations.

LDAP search filters

The LDAP connector constructs an LDAP search filter using a combination of filters, in the following order:

(& (native filter) (user filter) (object class filter) )

The filter components are as follows:

Native Filter

The native filter is the query filter that has been translated to an LDAP query. For example, uid+eq+"user123" is translated to uid=user123.

This part of the filter is processed first.

User Filter

You can define a user filter with the properties accountSearchFilter and groupSearchFilter in the connector configuration.

These properties enable you to construct a more granular or specific search filter. If a user filter is specified, the connector does not use the object class filter. If no user filter is specified, (accountSearchFilter and groupSearchFilter set to null or absent from the connector configuration), the connector uses the object class filter.

Object Class Filter

This part of the filter includes the object classes that the entry must have in order to be returned by the search.

The __ACCOUNT__ and __GROUPS__ object classes are defined by the properties accountObjectClasses and groupObjectClasses in the connector configuration. For example, the following configuration indicates that the accountObjectClasses include the LDAP object classes top, person, organizationalPerson, and inetOrgPerson:

"configurationProperties" : {
    ...
    "accountObjectClasses" : [
        "top",
        "person",
        "organizationalPerson",
        "inetOrgPerson"
    ],
    ...
}

With this configuration, the search filter for accounts is constructed as follows:

(&(objectClass=top)(objectClass=person)(objectClass=organizationalPerson)(objectClass=inetOrgPerson))

If no accountObjectClasses or groupObjectClasses are defined in the connector configuration, the connector uses the name of the ICF ObjectClass in the filter. For example, an object of type organizationUnit will result in:

(&(objectClass=organizationUnit)

OpenICF Interfaces Implemented by the LDAP Connector

The LDAP Connector implements the following OpenICF interfaces. For additional details, see ICF interfaces:

Authenticate

Provides simple authentication with two parameters, presumed to be a user name and password.

Create

Creates an object and its uid.

Delete

Deletes an object, referenced by its uid.

Resolve Username

Resolves an object by its username and returns the uid of the object.

Schema

Describes the object types, operations, and options that the connector supports.

Script on Connector

Enables an application to run a script in the context of the connector.

Any script that runs on the connector has the following characteristics:

  • The script runs in the same execution environment as the connector and has access to all the classes to which the connector has access.

  • The script has access to a connector variable that is equivalent to an initialized instance of the connector. At a minimum, the script can access the connector configuration.

  • The script has access to any script arguments passed in by the application.

Search

Searches the target resource for all objects that match the specified object class and filter.

Sync

Polls the target resource for synchronization events, that is, native changes to objects on the target resource.

Test

Tests the connector configuration.

Testing a configuration checks all elements of the environment that are referred to by the configuration are available. For example, the connector might make a physical connection to a host that is specified in the configuration to verify that it exists and that the credentials that are specified in the configuration are valid.

This operation might need to connect to a resource, and, as such, might take some time. Do not invoke this operation too often, such as before every provisioning operation. The test operation is not intended to check that the connector is alive (that is, that its physical connection to the resource has not timed out).

You can invoke the test operation before a connector configuration has been validated.

Update

Updates (modifies or replaces) objects on a target resource.

LDAP Connector Configuration

The LDAP Connector has the following configurable properties:

Configuration properties

Property Type Default Encrypted(1) Required(2)

filterWithOrInsteadOfAnd

boolean

false

Normally the filter used to fetch change log entries is an and-based filter retrieving an interval of change entries. If this property is set, the filter will or together the required change numbers instead.

objectClassesToSynchronize

String[]

['inetOrgPerson']

The object classes to synchronize. The change log is for all objects; this filters updates to just the listed object classes. You should not list the superclasses of an object class unless you intend to synchronize objects with any of the superclass values. For example, if only "inetOrgPerson" objects should be synchronized, but the superclasses of "inetOrgPerson" ("person", "organizationalperson" and "top") should be filtered out, then list only "inetOrgPerson" here. All objects in LDAP are subclassed from "top". For this reason, you should never list "top", otherwise no object would be filtered.

baseContextsToSynchronize

String[]

[]

One or more starting points in the LDAP tree that will be used to determine if a change should be synchronized. The base contexts attribute will be used to synchronize a change if this property is not set.

attributesToSynchronize

String[]

[]

The names of the attributes to synchronize. This ignores updates from the change log if they do not update any of the named attributes. For example, if only "department" is listed, then only changes that affect "department" will be processed. All other updates are ignored. If blank (the default), then all changes are processed.

changeNumberAttribute

String

changeNumber

The name of the change number attribute in the change log entry.

modifiersNamesToFilterOut

String[]

[]

The list of names (DNs) to filter from the changes. Changes with the attribute "modifiersName" that match entries in this list will be filtered out. The standard value is the administrator name used by this adapter, to prevent loops. Entries should be of the format "cn=Directory Manager".

null

Yes

No

Password for the principal.

changeLogBlockSize

int

100

The number of change log entries to fetch per query.

useTimestampsForSync

boolean

false

If true, the connector will use the createTimestamp and modifyTimestamp system attributes to detect changes (Create/Update) on the directory instead of native change detection mechanism (cn=changelog on OpenDJ or Update Sequence Number -USN- on Active Directory for instance). Default value is false.

accountSynchronizationFilter

String

null

An optional LDAP filter for the objects to synchronize. Because the change log is for all objects, this filter updates only objects that match the specified filter. If you specify a filter, an object will be synchronized only if it matches the filter and includes a synchronized object class.

removeLogEntryObjectClassFromFilter

boolean

true

If this property is set (the default), the filter used to fetch change log entries does not contain the "changeLogEntry" object class, expecting that there are no entries of other object types in the change log.

alternateKeyStorePassword

GuardedString

null

Yes

No

Password to use for the alternate keystore

groupSynchronizationFilter

String

null

An optional LDAP filter for the objects to synchronize. Because the change log is for all objects, this filter updates only objects that match the specified filter. If you specify a filter, an object will be synchronized only if it matches the filter and includes a synchronized object class.

groupMemberAttribute

String

uniqueMember

No

The name of the group attribute that will be updated with the distinguished name of the user when the user is added to the group.

accountSearchFilter

String

null

No

An optional LDAP filter to control which accounts are returned from the LDAP resource. If no filter is specified, only accounts that include all specified object classes are returned.

privateKeyAlias

String

null

No

Specifies the name of a private key alias from the keystore that should be used for SSL mutual authentication. If null, no private key is sent during SSL handshake so only server cert is used. This alias name is case sensitive.

ssl

boolean

false

No

Select the check box to connect to the LDAP server using SSL.

maintainPosixGroupMembership

boolean

false

No

When enabled and a user is renamed or deleted, update any POSIX groups to which the user belongs to reflect the new name. Otherwise, the LDAP resource must maintain referential integrity with respect to group membership.

No

An optional LDAP filter to control which groups are returned from the LDAP resource. If no filter is specified, only groups that include all specified object classes are returned.

referralsHandling

String

follow

No

Defines how to handle LDAP referrals. Possible values can be follow, ignore or throw.

host

String

null

No

The name or IP address of the host where the LDAP server is running.

maintainLdapGroupMembership

No

When enabled and a user is renamed or deleted, update any LDAP groups to which the user belongs to reflect the new name. Otherwise, the LDAP resource must maintain referential integrity with respect to group membership.

resetSyncToken

String

never

No

Connector can reset the sync token if ever the value of the sync token is greater than the last change number in the directory changelog. Defaults to "never" (no reset). If set to "first" it will reset the sync token to the value of the firstChangeNumber changelog attribute. If set to "last" it will reset the sync token to the value of the lastChangeNumber changelog attribute.

If true, the connector will verify the hostname in the certificate (subject + alternative subject) against the defined hostNameVerifierPattern.

blockSize

int

100

No

The maximum number of entries that can be in a block when retrieving entries in blocks.

groupObjectClasses

String[]

Attribute or attributes which holds the account’s user name. They will be used when authenticating to find the LDAP entry for the user name to authenticate.

failover

String[]

[]

No

List all servers that should be used for failover in case the preferred server fails. If the preferred server fails, JNDI will connect to the next available server in the list. List all servers in the form of "ldap://ldap.example.com:389/", which follows the standard LDAP v3 URLs described in RFC 2255. Only the host and port parts of the URL are relevant in this setting.

port

int

getGroupMemberId

boolean

false

No

Specifies whether to add an extra _memberId attribute to get the group members UID. CAUTION: Setting this property to true can incur a large performance cost on group handling.

lastCheckAlive

long

1683829933391

No

The last time the connector was checked to see if it was alive

ldapGroupsUseStaticGroups

boolean

false

No

When set to true, The ldapGroups attribute will search group membership through static groups only. If false, it will leverage the "memberOf" attribute of an object (defaults to true).

startTLS

boolean

false

No

Specifies whether to use the startTLS operation to initiate a TLS/SSL session.

allowTreeDelete

boolean

false

No

Connector can delete an entry (node) with leaf entry if this value is set to true (defaults to false). The LDAP control LDAP_SERVER_TREE_DELETE_OID (1.2.840.113556.1.4.805) is used.

respectResourcePasswordPolicyChangeAfterReset

boolean

false

No

When this resource is specified in a Login Module (i.e., this resource is a pass-through authentication target) and the resource’s password policy is configured for change-after-reset, a user whose resource account password has been administratively reset will be required to change that password after successfully authenticating.

passwordHashAlgorithm

String

null

No

Indicates the algorithm that the Identity system should use to hash the password. The only supported value is WIN-AD (for when Active Directory is the target). A blank value indicates that the system will not hash passwords. This will cause clear text passwords to be stored in LDAP unless the LDAP server performs the hash (as Forgerocks OpenDJ does, for example).

alternateKeyStore

String

null

No

Defines the filename of an alternate keystore. If specified, the connector will not use the default keystore specified by the javax.net.ssl.keyStore property.

authType

String

simple

No

The authentication mechanism to use: Simple or SASL-GSSAPI. Defaults to "simple".

connectionTimeout

int

30000

No

The timeout (in ms) before the connection attempt is aborted.

useBlocks

boolean

false

No

Specifies whether to use block-based LDAP controls, like the simple paged results or VLV control. When performing search operations on large numbers of entries, the entries are returned in blocks to reduce the amount of memory used by the operation.

readSchema

boolean

true

No

If true, the connector will read the schema from the server. If false, the connector will provide a default schema based on the object classes in the configuration. This property must be true in order to use extended object classes.

usePagedResultControl

boolean

false

No

When enabled, the LDAP Paged Results control is preferred over the VLV control when retrieving entries. If disabled, paged queries will be ignored.

useOldADGUIDFormat

boolean

false

sendCAUDTxId

boolean

false

No

Connector can send the Common Audit Transaction Id (if present) to the target OpenDJ server when this value is set to true (defaults to false). The LDAP control TransactionIdControl (1.3.6.1.4.1.36733.2.1.5.1) is used.

gssapiLoginContext

String

null

No

Defines the name used in the JAAS configuration file to define the JAAS login configuration. If null, it defaults to "org.identityconnectors.ldap.LdapConnector".

(1) Whether the property value is considered confidential, and is therefore encrypted in IDM.

(2) A list of operations in this column indicates that the property is required for those operations.

Marketo connector

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

The Marketo connector lets you synchronize between IDM managed users and a Marketo leads database. You can synchronize any managed user to Marketo—those who have been added directly to the IDM repository, and those who have registered themselves through a Social Identity Provider.

The Marketo connector is an implementation of the Scripted Groovy Connector, and lets you interact with leads in a Marketo database, using Groovy scripts for the ICF operations.

To use the Marketo connector, you need:

  • A Marketo account

  • A client ID and client secret

  • The REST API URL for your IDM service

  • A custom list created in your Marketo leads database

To obtain these details from Marketo, see the Marketo documentation.

Configure the Marketo connector

Create a connector configuration using the admin UI:

  1. From the navigation bar, click Configure > Connectors.

  2. On the Connectors page, click New Connector.

  3. On the New Connector page, type a Connector Name.

  4. From the Connector Type drop-down list, select Marketo Connector - 1.5.20.15.

  5. Complete the Base Connector Details.

  6. Click Save.

Alternatively, configure the connector with a configuration file.

A sample connector configuration file is provided at /path/to/openidm/samples/example-configurations/provisioners/provisioner.openicf-marketo.json. Copy the sample connector configuration file to your project’s conf/ directory.

This sample connector configuration shows the mandatory properties:

instance

To locate the REST API endpoint URL in Marketo, select Admin > Web Services, scroll down to REST API, and find the endpoint. Use that REST endpoint as the value of the instance property in your connector configuration. Remove the protocol and /rest from the URL. For example, if the endpoint is https://some-number.mktorest.com/rest, the value of the instance property must be some-number.mktorest.com.

clientId

Locate the client ID in the details of your Marketo service LaunchPoint.

clientSecret

Locate the client secret in the details of your Marketo service LaunchPoint.

listName

The name of the custom list created in your Marketo Leads database.

For details of all the configuration properties, see Marketo Connector Configuration.

When the connector is configured correctly, you can test its status by running the following command:

+

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request POST \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system?_action=test"
[
  {
    "name": "marketo",
    "enabled": true,
    "config": "config/provisioner.openicf/marketo",
    "objectTypes": [
      "__ALL__",
      "account"
    ],
    "connectorRef": {
      "bundleName": "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.marketo-connector",
      "connectorName": "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.marketo.MarketoConnector",
      "bundleVersion": "[1.5.0.0,1.6.0.0)"
    },
    "displayName": "Marketo Connector",
    "ok": true
  }
]

A status of "ok": true indicates that the connector can reach your Marketo database.

Reconcile users with a Marketo leads database

The Marketo connector lets you reconcile IDM users (including managed users and users who have registered through a social identity provider) with a Marketo leads database. To set up reconciliation to a Marketo database, copy the following sample mapping file to your project’s conf directory:

/path/to/openidm/samples/example-configurations/marketo/sync.json

This file sets up a mapping from the managed user repository to Marketo user accounts. The file includes transformations for user accounts registered through Facebook and LinkedIn. You can use these transformations as a basis for transformations from other social identity providers.

If you have an existing mapping configuration, add the content of this sample sync.json to your existing mapping.

The sample mapping restricts reconciliation to users who have accepted the marketing preferences with the following validSource script:

"validSource" : {
    "type" : "text/javascript",
    "globals" : {
        "preferences" : [
            "marketing"
        ]
    },
    "file" : "ui/preferenceCheck.js"
}

When a user registers with IDM, they can choose to accept this condition. As a regular user, they can also select (or deselect) the condition in the End User UI by logging into IDM at http://localhost:8080/, and selecting Preferences.

If a user deselects the marketing preference after their account has been reconciled to Marketo, the next reconciliation run will remove the account from the Marketo database.

For more information on how preferences work in a mapping, see User preferences.

Implementation specifics

For PATCH requests, a connector can potentially add, remove, or replace an attribute value. The Marketo connector does not implement the add or remove operations, so a PATCH request always replaces the entire attribute value with the new value.

OpenICF Interfaces Implemented by the Marketo Connector

The Marketo Connector implements the following OpenICF interfaces. For additional details, see ICF interfaces:

Authenticate

Provides simple authentication with two parameters, presumed to be a user name and password.

Create

Creates an object and its uid.

Delete

Deletes an object, referenced by its uid.

Resolve Username

Resolves an object by its username and returns the uid of the object.

Schema

Describes the object types, operations, and options that the connector supports.

Script on Connector

Enables an application to run a script in the context of the connector.

Any script that runs on the connector has the following characteristics:

  • The script runs in the same execution environment as the connector and has access to all the classes to which the connector has access.

  • The script has access to a connector variable that is equivalent to an initialized instance of the connector. At a minimum, the script can access the connector configuration.

  • The script has access to any script arguments passed in by the application.

Script on Resource

Runs a script on the target resource that is managed by this connector.

Search

Searches the target resource for all objects that match the specified object class and filter.

Sync

Polls the target resource for synchronization events, that is, native changes to objects on the target resource.

Test

Tests the connector configuration.

Testing a configuration checks all elements of the environment that are referred to by the configuration are available. For example, the connector might make a physical connection to a host that is specified in the configuration to verify that it exists and that the credentials that are specified in the configuration are valid.

This operation might need to connect to a resource, and, as such, might take some time. Do not invoke this operation too often, such as before every provisioning operation. The test operation is not intended to check that the connector is alive (that is, that its physical connection to the resource has not timed out).

You can invoke the test operation before a connector configuration has been validated.

Update

Updates (modifies or replaces) objects on a target resource.

MongoDB connector

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

The MongoDB connector is an implementation of the Scripted Groovy Connector. This connector lets you interact with a MongoDB document database, using Groovy scripts for the ICF operations.

Before you start

In a production environment, enable access control on your MongoDB database. If your connector will manage MongoDB users and roles, you must create an administrative user in the admin database. If your connector will manage collections in a database, this administrative user must create a specific user and role for the connector for the target database.

For information about enabling access control in MongoDB, see the MongoDB documentation.

The commands in this chapter assume an administrative user named myUserAdmin with password Passw0rd who has the readWrite role on the test database.

Configure the MongoDB connector

Create a connector configuration using the admin UI:

  1. From the navigation bar, click Configure > Connectors.

  2. On the Connectors page, click New Connector.

  3. On the New Connector page, type a Connector Name.

  4. From the Connector Type drop-down list, select MongoDB Connector - 1.5.20.15.

  5. Complete the Base Connector Details. For information about the configurable properties, see MongoDB Basic Configuration Properties.

  6. Click Save.

Alternatively, configure the connector with a configuration file. A sample connector configuration file (provisioner.openicf-mongodb.json) is provided in the /path/to/openidm/samples/example-configurations/provisioners directory. Copy the sample connector configuration to your project’s conf/ directory, and adjust the configurationProperties to match your MongoDB instance:

"configurationProperties" : {
    "connectionURI" : "mongodb://localhost:27017",
    "host" : "localhost",
    "port" : "27017",
    "user" : "myUserAdmin",
    "password" : "Passw0rd",
    "userDatabase" : "admin",
    "database" : "test",
    ...
}

Set "enabled" : true to enable the connector.

When your connector is configured correctly, you can test its status by running the following command:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request POST \

    "objectTypes": [
      "__ALL__",
      "account",
      "role"
    ],
    "ok": true
  }
]

A status of "ok": true indicates that the MongoDB connector can connect to the database.

Microsoft Graph API Java connector

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

The Microsoft (MS) Graph API Java connector uses the Microsoft Graph SDK for Java and the Authentication Providers for the Microsoft Graph Java SDK. Unlike the PowerShell connector for Azure, the MS Graph API connector is a Java connector, and does not need .NET RCS to run. As a Java connector, the MS Graph API connector functions like any standard IDM connector.

The MS Graph API connector can read, search, and fetch data from Microsoft Azure, when Azure is the authoritative data source, and can provision to Azure, when IDM is the authoritative data source.

The MS Graph API connector is bundled with IDM, and available from the ForgeRock Download Center. The connector bundles all its dependencies.

Before you start

Before you can use the connector, you must register an application with Azure. You need a Microsoft Azure subscription to complete this procedure:

  1. Log in to the MS Azure portal as an administrative user.

  2. Under Azure services , select App registrations.

  3. On the Register an application page, enter a name for the application; for example, FR-Connector.

  4. Select the supported account types, and enter a Redirect URI.

    The redirect URI is the IDM URI that Azure should redirect to after successful authentication; for example, https://idm.example.com:8443/.

  5. On the new registration page for your application, make a note of the Application (client) ID and the Directory (tenant) ID. You will need these to configure the connector:

    shared:ms-graph-api-app

  6. Generate a client secret:

    1. Select Certificates & secrets > New client secret .

    2. Enter a description, select an expiration date, and click Add.

    3. Copy the client secret Value:

      shared:ms-graph-api-secret
    You will not be able to retrieve the client secret in cleartext after you exit this screen.
  7. Set the API permissions:

    1. Select API permissions, click Microsoft Graph, and then click Application permissions.

      shared:ms-graph-api-app-permissions
    2. From the User item, select the following permissions:

      • User.Export.All

      • User.ManageIdentities.All

      • User.Read.All

      • User.ReadWrite.All

    3. From the Group item, select the following permissions:

      • Group.Create

      • Group.Read.All

      • Group.ReadWrite.All

    4. From the Directory item, select the following permissions:

      • Directory.Read.All

      • Directory.ReadWrite.All

    5. Click Add permissions .

  8. Grant admin consent for the API permissions:

    On the Configured permissions page, Grant admin consent for org-name, then click Yes.

    shared:ms-graph-api-consent

Configure the MS Graph API connector

IDM bundles version 1.5.20.15 of the MS Graph API connector in the openidm/connectors directory. Alternatively, download the connector .jar file from the ForgeRock Download Center

Create a connector configuration using the admin UI:

  1. From the navigation bar, click Configure > Connectors.

  2. On the Connectors page, click New Connector.

  3. On the New Connector page, type a Connector Name.

  4. From the Connector Type drop-down list, select MSGraphAPI Connector - 1.5.20.15.

  5. Complete the Base Connector Details.

  6. Click Save.

Alternatively, copy the sample connector configuration file from /path/to/openidm/samples/example-configurations/provisioners/provisioner.openicf-azuread.json to your project’s conf/ directory.

Set at least the Azure tenant, clientId and clientSecret in the configurationProperties. For example:

"configurationProperties" : {
    "tenant" : "your tenant ID",
    "clientId" : "your client ID",
    "clientSecret" : "your client secret"
}

Test the MS Graph API connector

Start IDM, if it is not running. Then use these examples to test that the connector is configured correctly and operating as expected:

            "skuId": "f24xxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxx5f3"
        }
    ]
}
Add and Remove a User’s Licenses

You cannot manipulate a user’s licenses property directly, because it is read-only. To add or remove licenses for a user, set the addLicenses or removeLicenses properties when you create or update the user.

The connector does not currently support PATCH add or PATCH remove operations. PATCH replace is supported because it is the equivalent of a PUT operation.

This command updates an existing user entry to add a license with the `skuId`f24xxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxx5f3:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--header "If-None-Match: *" \
--request PUT \
--data '{
  "addLicenses": [
    {
      "skuId": "f24xxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxx5f3"
    }
  ]
}' \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/azuread/user/c48be8cc-5846-4059-95e8-a7acbf6aec31"

This command updates the user entry to remove the license with `skuId`f24xxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxx5f3:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--header "If-Match: *" \
--request PUT \
--data '{
  "removeLicenses": "f24xxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxx5f3"
}' \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/azuread/user/c48be8cc-5846-4059-95e8-a7acbf6aec31"

Synchronize accounts between IDM and Azure

To use the MS Graph API connector to synchronize accounts between IDM and Azure, set up a mapping between the two data stores.

You can use the sample configuration file at /path/to/openidm/samples/sync-with-azuread/conf/sync.json as a starting point.

OpenICF Interfaces Implemented by the MSGraphAPI Connector

The MSGraphAPI Connector implements the following OpenICF interfaces. For additional details, see ICF interfaces:

Authenticate

Provides simple authentication with two parameters, presumed to be a user name and password.

Create

Creates an object and its uid.

Delete

Deletes an object, referenced by its uid.

Schema

Describes the object types, operations, and options that the connector supports.

Script on Connector

Enables an application to run a script in the context of the connector.

Any script that runs on the connector has the following characteristics:

  • The script runs in the same execution environment as the connector and has access to all the classes to which the connector has access.

  • The script has access to a connector variable that is equivalent to an initialized instance of the connector. At a minimum, the script can access the connector configuration.

  • The script has access to any script arguments passed in by the application.

Search

Searches the target resource for all objects that match the specified object class and filter.

Sync

Polls the target resource for synchronization events, that is, native changes to objects on the target resource.

Test

Tests the connector configuration.

Testing a configuration checks all elements of the environment that are referred to by the configuration are available. For example, the connector might make a physical connection to a host that is specified in the configuration to verify that it exists and that the credentials that are specified in the configuration are valid.

This operation might need to connect to a resource, and, as such, might take some time. Do not invoke this operation too often, such as before every provisioning operation. The test operation is not intended to check that the connector is alive (that is, that its physical connection to the resource has not timed out).

You can invoke the test operation before a connector configuration has been validated.

Update

Updates (modifies or replaces) objects on a target resource.

PeopleSoft connector

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

The PeopleSoft connector lets you manage and synchronize accounts between Oracle PeopleSoft and IDM managed user objects. A PeopleSoft administrator account is required for this connector to work.

Before you start

Before you configure the connector, log in to your PeopleSoft administrator account and note the following:

Host

The host address of the PeopleSoft instance.

Port

The port for the PeopleSoft instance.

User ID

The username to log into the PeopleSoft instance.

Password

The password to log into the PeopleSoft instance.

Domain Connect Password

The domain connection password for the PeopleSoft WebLogic application server.

Install the PeopleSoft connector

  1. Download the connector .jar file from the ForgeRock BackStage download site.

    • If you are running the connector locally, place it in the /path/to/openidm/connectors directory, for example:

      mv ~/Downloads/peoplesoft-connector-1.5.20.15.jar /path/to/openidm/connectors/
    • If you are using a remote connector server (RCS), place it in the /path/to/openicf/connectors directory on the RCS.

  2. Download the connector dependencies.

    • psjoa.jar is a file unique to each installation of PeopleSoft. It is compiled and provided by your PeopleSoft administrator. If it is not provided to you, refer to Generate psjoa.jar.

    • psft.jar is generated by the following commands:

      set CLASSPATH=%JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar;%CLASSPATH%
      jar cvf psft.jar .\PeopleSoft\Generated\CompIntfc*.class

Generate psjoa.jar

This procedure is only required if your PeopleSoft Administrator did not provide psjoa.jar.
  1. Start PeopleSoft Application Designer, and open any Component Interface definition.

  2. Select Build > PeopleSoft APIs.

    The Build PeopleSoft API Bindings window displays.

  3. Under the Java Classes group box, select Build, and specify a target directory.

  4. To build the selected bindings, click OK.

    The app builds the selected bindings in the specified directory. If the operation is successful, a Done message appears in the PeopleSoft Application Designer Build window.

  5. Compile the generated APIs:

    • Windows

    • Linux

    cd %PS_HOME%\class\PeopleSoft\Generated\CompIntfc
    javac −classpath %PS_HOME%\class\psjoa.jar *.java
    cd c:\pt8\class\PeopleSoft\ Generated\ PeopleSoft
    javac −classpath %PS_HOME%\class\psjoa.jar *.java
    cd $PS_HOME/class/PeopleSoft/Generated/CompIntfc
    javac classpath $PS_HOME/class/psjoa.jar *.java
    cd $PS_HOME/class/PeopleSoft/Generated/PeopleSoft
    javac classpath $PS_HOME/class/psjoa.jar *.java
  6. Copy psjoa.jar and generated jar into /path/to/openicf/lib.

Configure the PeopleSoft connector

Create a connector configuration using the admin UI:

  1. Select Configure > Connectors and click New Connector.

  2. Enter a Connector Name.

  3. Select PeopleSoft Connector - 1.5.20.15 as the Connector Type.

  4. Provide the Base Connector Details.

  5. Click Save.

When your connector is configured correctly, the connector displays as Active in the admin UI.

Alternatively, test that the configuration is correct by running the following command:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request POST \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/peoplesoft?_action=test"

  },
  "displayName": "PeopleSoft Connector",
  "objectTypes": [
    "__ACCOUNT__",
    "__ALL__"
  ],

OpenICF Interfaces Implemented by the PeopleSoft Connector

The PeopleSoft Connector implements the following OpenICF interfaces. For additional details, see ICF interfaces:

Create

Creates an object and its uid.

Delete

Deletes an object, referenced by its uid.

Schema

Describes the object types, operations, and options that the connector supports.

Script on Connector

Enables an application to run a script in the context of the connector.

Any script that runs on the connector has the following characteristics:

  • The script runs in the same execution environment as the connector and has access to all the classes to which the connector has access.

  • The script has access to a connector variable that is equivalent to an initialized instance of the connector. At a minimum, the script can access the connector configuration.

  • The script has access to any script arguments passed in by the application.

Search

Searches the target resource for all objects that match the specified object class and filter.

Test

Tests the connector configuration.

Testing a configuration checks all elements of the environment that are referred to by the configuration are available. For example, the connector might make a physical connection to a host that is specified in the configuration to verify that it exists and that the credentials that are specified in the configuration are valid.

This operation might need to connect to a resource, and, as such, might take some time. Do not invoke this operation too often, such as before every provisioning operation. The test operation is not intended to check that the connector is alive (that is, that its physical connection to the resource has not timed out).

You can invoke the test operation before a connector configuration has been validated.

Update

Updates (modifies or replaces) objects on a target resource.

PeopleSoft Connector Configuration

The PeopleSoft Connector has the following configurable properties:

Configuration properties

Property Type Default Encrypted(1) Required(2)

(1) Whether the property value is considered confidential, and is therefore encrypted in IDM.

(2) A list of operations in this column indicates that the property is required for those operations.

PowerShell Connector Toolkit

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

The PowerShell Connector Toolkit is not a complete connector in the traditional sense. Rather, it is a framework within which you must write your own PowerShell scripts to address the requirements of your Microsoft Windows ecosystem. You can use the PowerShell Connector Toolkit to create connectors that can provision any Microsoft system, including, but not limited to, Active Directory, Microsoft SQL, MS Exchange, SharePoint, Azure, and Office365. Essentially, any task that can be performed with PowerShell can be executed through connectors based on this toolkit.

The PowerShell Connector Toolkit is available from the ForgeRock BackStage download site.

To use this connector, you must write a PowerShell script for each operation that you want the connector to perform (create, read, update, delete, authenticate, and so on). No sample scripts are bundled with the connector, but IDM customers have access to the Scripted REST connector source code at https://stash.forgerock.org/projects/OPENICF/repos/powershell-connector/browse. This repository includes sample scripts for all the ICF operations.

Before you start

To implement a scripted PowerShell connector, you must install the following:

  • Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 or later. Connectors created with the PowerShell Connector Toolkit run on the .NET platform and require the installation of a .NET connector server on the Windows system. To install the .NET connector server, follow the instructions in Set Up a .NET RCS.

  • PowerShell version 4.0 or above.

  • The PowerShell Connector Toolkit.

Install the PowerShell connector

To run the commands in this procedure, start with the PowerShell command line. Some commands require administrative privileges.

  1. Install, configure, and start the .NET connector server on a Windows host. If you are running an Active Directory Domain Controller, install the .NET connector server on the same host on which the Windows PowerShell module is installed.

  2. Configure IDM to connect to the .NET connector server.

  3. Download the PowerShell Connector Toolkit archive (mspowershell-connector-1.4.7.0.zip ) from the ForgeRock BackStage download site.

    Extract the archive and move the MsPowerShell.Connector.dll to the folder in which the connector server application executable file (ConnectorServerService.exe) is located.

  4. Download the sample scripts on the host on which the .NET connector server is installed.

    Reference the full path to the scripts in your connector configuration, for example:

    "CreateScriptFileName" : "C:/openidm/samples/scripted-powershell-with-ad/tools/ADCreate.ps1",
    ...

Configure the PowerShell connector

  1. You cannot configure a PowerShell connector through the UI. Configure the connector over REST, as described in Configure Connectors Over REST.

  2. Alternatively, copy the sample connector configuration file (provisioner.openicf-adpowershell.json ) from the samples\example-configurations\provisioners directory to your project’s conf directory.

    Paths in these files must use forward slash characters and not the backslash characters that you would expect in a Windows path.
  3. Verify that at least the path to the scripts and the connection and authentication details are correct for your deployment.

    PowerShell Connector Configuration Properties
    Property Type Example Encrypted [5] Required [6]

    operationScriptFileName

    String

    C:/openidm/AD/ADCreate.ps1,

    No
    Yes

    The full path to the script that implements the corresponding OpenICF operation.

    VariablesPrefix

    String

    Connector

    No
    No

    To avoid variable namespace conflicts, you can define a prefix for the connector variables. All variables are injected into the script under that prefix and can be used with the dotted notation.

    QueryFilterType

    String

    AdPsModule (for Active Directory)

    No
    Yes

    A configurable query filter visitor property that defines the format in which the query will be injected into the connector. Possible values are:

    • Map - the query filter is a map

    • Ldap - the query filter is in LDAP search format; for example, "(cn=Joe)"

    • Native - the query filter is a native OpenICF query filter

    • AdPsModule - the query filter is compatible with the Active Directory PowerShell module, Get-ADUser Filter

    ReloadScriptOnExecution

    Boolean

    true

    No
    No

    When true, the connector reloads the script from disk every time it is executed. This can be useful for debugging purposes. Set to false in production.

    UseInterpretersPool

    Boolean

    true

    No
    No

    If true, the connector leverages the PowerShell RunSpace Pool.

    MaxInterpretersPoolSize

    Integer

    5

    No
    No

    The maximum size of the interpreter pool.

    MinInterpretersPoolSize

    Integer

    1

    No
    No

    The minimum size of the interpreter pool.

    PoolCleanupInterval

    Double

    60

    No
    No

    Specifies the interval (in minutes) at which unused interpreter instances are discarded. To avoid cleaning up unused interpreter instances, set this property to 0.

    SubstituteUidAndNameInQueryFilter

    Boolean

    true

    No
    No

    Specifies whether the __UID__ and __NAME__ should be replaced by the value defined in the NameAttributeName and UidAttributeName in the query filter.

    UidAttributeName

    String

    ObjectGUID

    No
    No

    The attribute on the resource that contains the object __UID__.

    NameAttributeName

    String

    DistinguishedName

    No
    No

    The attribute on the resource that contains the object __NAME__.

    PsModulesToImport

    Array

    ["ActiveDirectory","C:/openidm/samples/scripted-powershell-with-ad/tools/ADSISearch.psm1"]

    No
    No

    An array of additional PowerShell modules that the connector must import.

    Host

    String

    ad.example.com

    No
    Yes

    The host name or IP address of the Active Directory server.

    Port

    Integer

    null

    No
    Yes

    The port number on which the remote resource listens for connections.

    Login

    String

    ""

    No
    Yes

    The user account in the remote resource that is used for the connection.

    Password

    String

    null

    Encrypted
    Yes

    The password of the user account that is used for the connection.

    CustomProperties

    Array

    [ ]

    No
    No

    An array of Strings to define custom configuration properties. Each property takes the format "name=value". For example:

    "configurationProperties" : {
          ...
          "CustomProperties" : ["baseContext = CN=Users,DC=example,DC=com" ],
          ...
    }

    The custom property can then be read from the PowerShell scripts as follows:

    $base = $Connector.Configuration.PropertyBag.baseContext

  "name" : "adpowershell",
  "enabled" : true,
  "config" : "config/provisioner.openicf/adpowershell",
  "objectTypes" : [ "__ALL__", "group", "account" ],
  "connectorRef" : {
    "connectorName" : "Org.Forgerock.OpenICF.Connectors.MsPowerShell.MsPowerShellConnector",

  },
  "displayName" : "PowerShell Connector",
  "ok" : true
}

When you run this test, you should also see a log entry associated with the .NET connector server, in the logs/ directory of that server.

You can use the connector, with a PowerShell search script, to retrieve information from a target system. The PowerShell search script accepts IDM queries, including query-all-ids and _queryFilter.

The following command retrieves a list of users in an Active Directory server. You can also use any system-enabled filter, such as those described in Presence Expressions:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request GET \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/adpowershell/account?_queryId=query-all-ids"

Create users or groups

This command creates a new user in Active Directory:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request POST \
--header "content-type: application/json" \
--data '{
  "distinguishedName" : "CN=Robert Smith,CN=Users,DC=EXAMPLE,DC=COM",
  "sAMAccountName" : "robert.smith",
  "sn" : "Smith",
  "cn" : "Robert Smith",
  "userPrincipalName": "Robert.Smith@example.com",
  "enabled" : true,
  "password" : "Passw0rd",
  "telephoneNumber" : "0052-611-091"
}' \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/adpowershell/account?_action=create"

Update entries

You can update the following properties with the sample scripts:

  • Password

  • Principal Name

  • License

  • Common user attributes

This command changes change the password for the user with the specified _id:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request PATCH \
--header "content-type: application/json" \
--data '{
  "operation": "replace",
  "Field": "password",
  "value": "Passw1rd"
}' \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/adpowershell/account/1d4c9276-6937-4d9e-9c60-67e8b4207f4e"

Delete Users and Groups

This command deletes an Active Directory user entry with the specified _id:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request DELETE \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/adpowershell/account/1d4c9276-6937-4d9e-9c60-67e8b4207f4e"

Run Scripts Through the Connector

The runScriptOnConnector script lets you run an arbitrary script action through the connector. This script takes the following variables as input:

Configuration

A handler to the connector’s configuration object.

Options

A handler to the Operation Options.

Operation

The operation type that corresponds to the action (RUNSCRIPTONCONNECTOR in this case).

Arguments

A map of script arguments (this can be null).

The script can return any object that can be serialized by OpenICF, such as Boolean, String, Array, or Dictionary. If the object type cannot be serialized, such as Hashtable, the script fails with the error:

"error": "No serializer for class: System.Collections.Hashtable"

To run an arbitrary script on the PowerShell connector, define the script in the systemActions property of your provisioner file:

"systemActions" : [
    {
        "scriptId" : "MyScript",
        "actions" : [
            {
                "systemType" : ".*PowerShellConnector",
                "actionType" : "PowerShell",
                "actionFile" : "scripts/Myactionscript.ps1"
            }
        ]
    }
]

When you have defined the script, you can call it over REST on the system endpoint, as follows:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request POST \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/adpowershell?_action=script&scriptId=MyScript&param1=value1&param2=value2"

You can also call it through the IDM script engine, as follows:

openidm.action("/system/adpowershell", "script", {}, {"scriptId": "MyScript", "param1": "value1", "param2": "value2"})

Because the action script is stored locally with IDM, it must be transmitted across the network every time it is called. An alternative approach is to write a PowerShell module and to load it using the PsModulesToImport option of the PowerShell connector. In this case, the action script is limited to a function call, and you do not need a script file on the IDM side.

The following example uses the actionSource property in the provisioner, instead of the actionFile property, to call the action. The example calls a custom Set-Exchange function from a module loaded on the .Net connector server by the PowerShell connector:

"systemActions" : [
    {
        "scriptId" : "SetExchange",
        "actions" : [
            {
                "systemType" : ".*PowerShellConnector",
                "actionType" : "PowerShell",
                "actionSource" : "Set-Exchange $Connector.Arguments.dn"
            }
        ]
    }
]

Manage Azure AD Objects With the PowerShell Connector

ForgeRock provides two sets of sample scripts to let you manage objects in Azure AD with the PowerShell connector:

  • Version 1: These scripts are based on the older Microsoft Online (MSOL) V1 PowerShell module. For information on connecting to your Azure AD with this module, see the corresponding Microsoft documentation. Microsoft has expressed its intention to deprecate this module when its functionality has been completely migrated to the newer Azure Active Directory PowerShell for Graph Module. These scripts are supported only up to Windows 2012 R2.

    The Version 1 scripts can manage security groups but not dynamic groups.

  • Version 2: These scripts are based on the Azure Active Directory PowerShell for Graph Module. For information on connecting to your Azure AD with this module, see the corresponding Microsoft documentation. The cmdlets in this module let you perform CRUD operations on an Azure AD instance, and configure the directory and its features.

    The Version 2 scripts can manage user password policies, security and mail groups, dynamic groups, and devices.

Follow these procedures to use the sample Azure AD scripts with the PowerShell connector:

Set Up a Remote Connector Server

  1. Install a .NET connector server on your windows host. These steps assume a Windows hostname of windows-host.example.com.

  2. On windows-host.example.com, install the PowerShell connector.

    When you have installed the PowerShell connector, make sure that the ICF .NET connector server is still running. If it is not running, restart the connector server and check the logs. In some cases, Windows blocks the PowerShell connector .dll files. If the connector server fails to start, right-click on MsPowerShell.Connector.dll and select Properties > Security

  3. If you see the following text:

    This file came from another computer and might be blocked to help protect this computer.

    Click Unblock to unblock the connector .dll file. Then, restart the connector server.

  4. On windows-host.example.com, install the Windows Azure AD Module that corresponds to the version of the scripts you are using.

  5. These instructions assume that you have an existing Azure AD instance.

    Create a specific administrative account in Azure AD, to run the PowerShell connector scripts.

  6. In a PowerShell window on windows-host.example.com, verify that your Windows host can connect to your Azure AD tenant:

    • For Version 1 scripts, run Connect-MsolService.

    • For Version 2 scripts, run Connect-AzureAD.

Set Up the PowerShell Azure AD Scripts

When all your systems are installed and running, and you have verified that your Windows host can connect to your Azure AD, set up the sample scripts as follows:

  1. On windows-host.example.com, create a directory for the PowerShell scripts, for example:

    PS C:\> mkdir -Path openidm\scripted-powershell-with-azure-ad\scripts

    Whatever location you choose for the scripts will be referenced in your connector configuration (provisioner file).

  2. Download the Azure AD scripts from the ForgeRock stash repository.

    Download either the V1 or V2 scripts, depending on your Azure AD module, and place them in the scripts directory you created in the previous step:

    ls C:\openidm\scripted-powershell-with-azure-ad\scripts
    Directory: C:\openidm\scripted-powershell-with-azure-ad\scripts
    
    Mode                LastWriteTime     Length Name
    ----                -------------     ------ ----
    -a---          7/21/2020  4:00 AM      10965 AzureADCreate.ps1
    -a---          7/21/2020  4:00 AM       3547 AzureADDelete.ps1
    -a---          7/21/2020  4:00 AM       6952 AzureADSchema.ps1
    -a---          7/21/2020  4:00 AM       8149 AzureADSearch.ps1
    -a---          7/21/2020  4:00 AM       2465 AzureADTest.ps1
    -a---          7/21/2020  4:00 AM      10840 AzureADUpdate.ps1

    By default, Windows does not trust downloaded scripts. To be able to run the scripts, you might need to do the following:

    • Run the Unblock-File cmdlet. This cmdlet unblocks PowerShell script files that were downloaded from the Internet so that you can run them, regardless of the PowerShell execution policy.

    • Change the PowerShell execution policy to let you run the scripts.

  3. In IDM, configure the connection to the .NET connector server.

  4. In IDM, configure the PowerShell connector.

    The ForgeRock stash repository includes a sample provisioner file for both versions of the scripts. Use those files as a starting point. Set at least the following properties:

    connectorHostRef

    The name of the connector server referenced in the previous step.

    *ScriptFileName

    Set the path to the script directory that you created on windows-host.example.com .

Test the PowerShell Connector With Azure AD

  1. Test that the connector has been configured correctly and can reach the Azure AD:

    curl \
    --header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
    --header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
    --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
    --request POST \
    "http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/azureadpowershell?_action=test"
    {
      "name": "azureadpowershell",
      "enabled": true,
      "config": "config/provisioner.openicf/azureadpowershell",
      "objectTypes": [
        "__ALL__",
        "account",
        "group"
      ],
      "connectorRef": {
        "bundleName": "MsPowerShell.Connector",
        "connectorName": "Org.ForgeRock.OpenICF.Connectors.MsPowerShell.MsPowerShellConnector",
        "bundleVersion": "[1.4.3.0,1.5.0.0)"
      },
      "displayName": "PowerShell Connector ",
      "ok": true
    }

    If you see no response from this connector test, check your connector configuration and the connection to the .NET connector server.

IBM RACF connector

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

IBM Resource Access Control Facility (RACF) is an access control system for IBM mainframes running z/OS. The RACF connector lets you manage and synchronize accounts between RACF and IDM managed user objects. A RACF administrator account is required for this connector to work.

Before you start

Before you configure the connector, log in to your RACF administrator account and note the following:

Host name

The domain name or IP address of the host where RACF is running.

Port

The port RACF is configured to use.

User ID

The RACF administrator user ID.

Password

The password for the RACF administrator account.

Segments

A list of RACF user profile segments that are supported. Refer to RACF segments and attributes for a list of available segments.

Accept self-signed certificates

A boolean determining whether RACF is configured to allow self-signed certificates. This should usually be false in production environments, but may be true during development.

Client certificate alias

Alias name for the client certificate.

Client certificate password

Password for the client certificate.

Install the RACF connector

Download the connector .jar file from the ForgeRock BackStage download site.

  • If you are running the connector locally, place it in the /path/to/openidm/connectors directory, for example:

    mv ~/Downloads/racf-connector-1.5.20.15.jar /path/to/openidm/connectors/
  • If you are using a remote connector server (RCS), place it in the /path/to/openicf/connectors directory on the RCS.

Configure the RACF connector

Create a connector configuration using the admin UI:

  1. Select Configure > Connectors and click New Connector.

  2. Enter a Connector Name.

  3. Select RACF Connector - 1.5.20.15 as the Connector Type.

  4. Provide the Base Connector Details.

  5. Click Save.

After the connector is configured, it displays as Active in the admin UI.

You can test the configuration is correct by running the following command:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request POST \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/racf?_action=test"
{
  "name": "racf",
  "enabled": true,
  "config": "config/provisioner.openicf/racf",
  "connectorRef": {
    "bundleVersion": "[1.5.0.0,1.6.0.0)",
    "bundleName": "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.racf-connector",
    "connectorName": "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.racf.RacfConnector"
  },
  "displayName": "RACF Connector",
  "objectTypes": [
    "__ACCOUNT__",
    "__ALL__",
    "__GROUP__"
  ],
  "ok": true
}

If the command returns "ok": true, your connector was configured correctly, and can authenticate to the RACF system.

OpenICF Interfaces Implemented by the RACF Connector

The RACF Connector implements the following OpenICF interfaces. For additional details, see ICF interfaces:

Create

Creates an object and its uid.

Delete

Deletes an object, referenced by its uid.

Schema

Describes the object types, operations, and options that the connector supports.

Script on Connector

Enables an application to run a script in the context of the connector.

Any script that runs on the connector has the following characteristics:

  • The script runs in the same execution environment as the connector and has access to all the classes to which the connector has access.

  • The script has access to a connector variable that is equivalent to an initialized instance of the connector. At a minimum, the script can access the connector configuration.

  • The script has access to any script arguments passed in by the application.

Search

Searches the target resource for all objects that match the specified object class and filter.

Test

Tests the connector configuration.

Testing a configuration checks all elements of the environment that are referred to by the configuration are available. For example, the connector might make a physical connection to a host that is specified in the configuration to verify that it exists and that the credentials that are specified in the configuration are valid.

This operation might need to connect to a resource, and, as such, might take some time. Do not invoke this operation too often, such as before every provisioning operation. The test operation is not intended to check that the connector is alive (that is, that its physical connection to the resource has not timed out).

You can invoke the test operation before a connector configuration has been validated.

Update

Updates (modifies or replaces) objects on a target resource.

Salesforce connector

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

The Salesforce connector lets you provision, reconcile, and synchronize users between Salesforce and the IDM managed user repository.

This chapter describes how to install and configure the Salesforce connector, and how to perform basic tests to ensure that it’s running correctly.

For a complete example that includes the configuration required to synchronize users with this connector, see Synchronize users between Salesforce and IDM.

Before you configure the Salesforce connector

The instructions in this chapter assume that you have an existing Salesforce organization, a Salesforce administrative account, and a Connected App with OAuth enabled.

For instructions on setting up a Connected App, see the corresponding Salesforce documentation. When you have set up the Connected App, locate the Consumer Key and Consumer Secret. You will need these details to configure the connector.

The Salesforce connector is bundled with IDM and has no specific installation requirements.

Configure the Salesforce connector

The easiest way to configure the Salesforce connector is through the admin UI:

Configure the Salesforce connector through the admin UI

  1. From the navigation bar, click Configure > Connectors.

  2. On the Connectors page, click New Connector.

  3. On the New Connector page, type a Connector Name.

  4. From the Connector Type drop-down list, select Salesforce Connector - 1.5.20.15.

  5. Complete the Base Connector Details.

    The Login URL is the OAuth endpoint used to make the OAuth authentication request to Salesforce.

    When you create your connected app, you are instructed to wait 2-10 minutes for the settings to propagate across all the Salesforce data centers. If you are using a Salesforce test tenant, such as https://eu26.lightning.force.com, you can specify a custom URL here and enter the FQDN of the test tenant. This lets you test the connector without waiting for the new app settings to be propagated.
  6. Click Save.

    The connector attempts to access your Salesforce organization.

  7. Enter your Salesforce login credentials.

  8. On the permission request screen, click Allow to enable IDM to access your Salesforce Connected App.

    When your connector is configured correctly, the connector displays as Active in the admin UI.

Configure the Salesforce connector With a configuration file

  1. IDM provides a sample connector configuration file in the /path/to/openidm/samples/example-configurations/provisioners directory.

    Copy this sample file (provisioner.openicf-salesforce.json) to your project’s conf directory, and set at least the following properties:

    "configurationProperties" : {
        "loginUrl" : "loginURL",
        "clientSecret" : "clientSecret",
        "clientId" : "clientId",
        "refreshToken" : "refreshToken"
        "instanceUrl" : "instanceURL",
    }
    loginUrl

    The OAuth endpoint that will be used to make the OAuth authentication request to Salesforce.

    The default endpoint for a production system is https://login.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/token. The default endpoint for a sandbox (test) system is https://test.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/token.

    clientSecret

    The Consumer Secret associated with your Connected App.

    clientId

    The Consumer Key associated with your Connected App.

    refreshToken and instanceURL

    The admin UI obtains these properties on your behalf. If you are configuring the connector manually, obtain the refresh token and instance URL from salesforce.com as follows:

    1. Browse to the following URL:

      SALESFORCE_URL/services/oauth2/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=CONSUMER_KEY&redirect_uri=REDIRECT_URI&scope=id+api+refresh_token

      Where:

      • SALESFORCE_URL is one of the following:

        • A production URL (https://login.salesforce.com)

        • A sandbox URL (https://test.salesforce.com)

        • A custom Salesforce MyDomain URL, such as https://ic-example-com--SUP1.cs21.my.salesforce.com

      • CONSUMER_KEY is the Consumer Key associated with the Connected App that you created within your Salesforce organization.

      • REDIRECT_URI is the IDM URI Salesforce should redirect to during authentication. It must match the Redirect URI specified within your Salesforce Connect App configuration, for example:

        https://localhost:8443/
    2. You are redirected to Salesforce, and prompted to give this application access to your Salesforce account. When you have given consent, you should receive a response URL that looks similar to the following:

      https://localhost:8443/admin/index.html#connectors/edit//&code=aPrxJZTK7Rs03PU634VK8Jn9o_U3ZY1ERxM7IiklF...

      The &code part of this URL is an authorization code, that you need for the following step.

      This authorization code expires after 10 minutes. If you do not complete the OAuth flow within that time, you will need to start this process again.
    3. Copy the authorization code from the response URL and use it as the value of the code parameter in the following REST call. The consumer-key, redirect-uri, and SALESFORCE_URL must match what you used in the first step of this procedure:

      curl \
      --verbose \
      --data "grant_type=authorization_code" \
      --data "client_id=consumer-key" \
      --data "client_secret=consumer-secret" \
      --data "redirect_uri=https://localhost:8443/" \
      --data "code=access-token-code" \
      "SALESFORCE_URL/services/oauth2/token"
      {
        "access_token": "00DS0000003K4fU!AQMAQOzEU.8tCjg8Wk79yKPKCtrtaszX5jrHtoT4NBpJ8x…​",
        "signature": "2uREX1lseXdg3Vng/2+Hrlo/KHOWYoim+poj74wKFtw=",
        "refresh_token": "5Aep861KIwKdekr90I4iHdtDgWwRoG7O_6uHrgJ.yVtMS0UaGxRqE6WFM77W7…​",
        "token_type": "Bearer",
        "instance_url": "https://example-com.cs1.my.salesforce.com",
        "scope": "id api refresh_token",
        "issued_at": "1417182949781",
        "id": "https://login.salesforce.com/id/00DS0000003K4fUMAS/00530000009hWLcAAM"
      }

      The output includes the refresh_token and the instance_url that you need to configure the connector.

  2. Set "enabled" : true to enable the connector.

  3. Save the connector configuration.

  4. Test that the configuration is correct by running the following command:

    curl \
    --header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
    --header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
    --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
    --request POST \
    "http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/salesforce?_action=test"
    {
      "name": "salesforce",
      "enabled": true,
      "config": "config/provisioner.openicf/salesforce",
      "connectorRef": {
        "bundleVersion": "[1.5.0.0,1.6.0.0)",
        "bundleName": "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.salesforce-connector",
        "connectorName": "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.salesforce.SalesforceConnector"
      },
      "displayName": "Salesforce Connector",
      "objectTypes": [
        "__ALL__",
        "User"
      ],
      "ok": true
    }

    If the command returns "ok": true, your connector has been configured correctly, and can authenticate to Salesforce.

Implementation Specifics

  • For PATCH requests, a connector can potentially add, remove, or replace an attribute value. The Salesforce connector does not implement the add or remove operations, so a PATCH request always replaces the entire attribute value with the new value. Salesforce does not support multi-valued attributes.

  • Attributes themselves cannot be removed from Salesforce. The connector therefore performs an update with "" as the value of the attribute being removed. This sets the value of the removed attribute to null.

    Salesforce does not support application user DELETE requests.
  • The Salesforce connector supports any Salesforce object that is available to the API. To check which objects are available, log in to Salesforce Workbench to access the API explorer. This URL points to Version 49 of the API. Adjust the URL for the latest API version.

    Because the number of Salesforce objects is potentially very large, the Salesforce connector configuration includes a supportedObjectTypes property that lets you specify the objects you want to support. The connector checks the metadata in Salesforce for each of the objects you list in this property, and dynamically builds the required schema. The sample connector configuration file (provisioner.openicf-salesforce.json) generates the schema only for the User object:

    {
        ...
        "configurationProperties": {
            ...
            "supportedObjectTypes": [
                "User"
            ]
        },
    }

    You can add any object to the list of supportedObjectTypes, and the connector will build the schema for that object.

  • The Salesforce API restricts how query results can be paged. The default, and maximum page size is 2000. The minimum page size is 200. The Salesforce API does not guarantee that the requested page size is the actual page size. Returned results might vary, to maximize performance.

    For example, the following query (with "pageSize=1") might return more than one user if more than one user exists in Salesforce:

    http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/salesforce/user?_queryId=query-all-ids&_pageSize=1

    For more information, see the Salesforce documentation.

SAP connector

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

The SAP connector is an implementation of the Scripted Groovy Connector Toolkit that connects to any SAP system using the SAP JCo Java libraries. This chapter describes how to install and configure the scripted SAP connector, and how to test the sample scripts that are bundled with the connector.

The sample scripts illustrate the following scenarios:

  • Synchronization of users between an SAP HR module and IDM

  • Synchronization of users between IDM and an SAP (R/3) system

Before you start

  1. Download the SAP connector from the ForgeRock BackStage download site.

  2. Copy the SAP connector .jar file (sap-connector-1.5.20.15.jar ) to the openidm/connectors directory, or to the /path/to/openicf/connectors directory, if you are running the connector remotely. For example:

    cp ~/Downloads/sap-connector-1.5.20.15.jar /path/to/openidm/connectors
  3. The SAP connector requires the SAP Java Connector (JCo) libraries, version 3.0.12 or later. ForgeRock distributes the SAP connector without these JCo libraries. Before you can use the SAP connector, you must obtain the JCo libraries that correspond to your architecture.

    Copy the required SAP JCo libraries to the /path/to/openidm/lib directory. For example:

    cp sapjco3.jar /path/to/openidm/lib cp libsapjco3.so /path/to/openidm/lib
  4. Change your IDM logging configuration to log messages from the SAP connector.

    By default, IDM logs nothing for the SAP connector. To troubleshoot any issues with the connector, set the following properties in your project’s conf/logging.properties file:

    # SAP Connector Logging
    org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.sap.level=FINER
    scripts.sap.r3.level=FINER
    scripts.sap.hr.level=FINER
    scripts.sap.level=FINER

Using the SAP connector with an SAP HR system

The SAP HR sample scripts let you manage the email address and global employee UID of records in an SAP HR system.

The following sections explain how to configure IDM to use these sample scripts, how to test the connection to the SAP HR system, and how to update user records.

Setting up IDM for the SAP HR samples

  1. Create a connector configuration file for the SAP connector and place it in your project’s conf/ directory.

    You can use this sample provisioner.openicf-saphr.json as a guide.

    Edit that file with the connection details for your SAP HR system. Specifically, set at least the following properties:

    destination

    An alias to the SAP system to which you are connecting, for example, SAP1. If you are connecting to more than one SAP system, the destination property for each system must be unique.

    The sample connector configuration assumes a connection to a single SAP system, so the value for this property in the sample configuration is OPENIDM.

    asHost

    The FQDN of your SAP Application Server, for example sap.example.com.

    user

    Your SAP user account.

    password

    The password of this SAP user account.

    client

    The SAP Client number that will be used to connect to the SAP system.

    systemNumber

    The SAP system number.

    directConnection

    A boolean (true/false). If true, the connection goes directly to an SAP ABAP Application server or SAP router. If false, the connection goes to a group of SAP instances, through an SAP message server.

    sapRouter

    The IP address and port of the SAP router, if applicable. The syntax is /H/hostport], for example /H/203.0.113.0/S/3299.

    poolCapacity

    The maximum number of idle connections kept open by the destination. If there is no connection pooling, set this to 0. The default value is 1.

    For optimum performance, set this value to an integer between 5 and 10.

  2. The connector bundles a number of SAP-certified sample Groovy scripts:

    TestSAP.groovy
    SearchSAPHR.groovy
    UpdateSAPHR.groovy
    SchemaSAPHR.groovy
    EmplComm.groovy

    If necessary, you can customize these scripts to suit your deployment by extracting them from the connector JAR and updating the connector configuration to point to the new file path.

    The sample connector configuration assumes the following locations for the scripts (relative to the value of the scriptRoots property):

    "testScriptFileName" : "scripts/sap/TestSAP.groovy",
    "searchScriptFileName" : "scripts/sap/hr/SearchSAPHR.groovy",
    "updateScriptFileName" : "scripts/sap/hr/UpdateSAPHR.groovy",
    "schemaScriptFileName" : "scripts/sap/hr/SchemaSAPHR.groovy",

    The EmplComm.groovy must be placed in the same location as the Search, Update, and Schema scripts.

    The Groovy scripts belong to a specific package. The parent directory where the scripts are located must be the same as the package name. So the TestSAP.groovy script must be under a scripts/sap directory (because it belongs to the scripts/sap package) and the remaining HR scripts must be under a scripts/sap/hr directory (because they belong to the hr package).

Testing the connection to the SAP HR system

  1. Start IDM with the configuration for your SAP connector project.

    This procedure assumes that the configuration is in the default path/to/openidm directory. If your SAP project is in a different directory, use the -p option with the startup command to point to that directory:

    path/to/openidm/startup.sh
  2. Test that the connector has been configured correctly and that the SAP HR system can be reached:

    curl \
    --header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
    --header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
     --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
     --request POST \
     "http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/saphr/?_action=test"
    {
      "name" : "saphr",
      "enabled" : true,
      "config" : "config/provisioner.openicf/saphr2",
      "objectTypes" : [ "__ALL__", "employee" ],
      "connectorRef" : {
        "connectorName" : "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.sap.SapConnector",
        "bundleName" : "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.sap-connector",
        "bundleVersion" : "[1.5.0.0,1.6.0.0)"
      },
      "displayName" : "Sap Connector",
      "ok" : true
    }
  3. Retrieve a list of the existing users (with their employee number) in the SAP HR system:

    curl \
    --header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
    --header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
     --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
     --request GET \
     "http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/saphr/employee?_queryId=query-all-ids"
    {
      "result" : [ {
        "_id" : "00000010",
        "__NAME__" : "00000010"
      }, {
        "_id" : "00000069",
        "__NAME__" : "00000069"
      }, {
        "_id" : "00000070",
        "__NAME__" : "00000070"
      },
    ...
  4. Retrieve the complete record of an employee in the SAP HR system by including the employee’s ID in the URL.

    The following command retrieves the record for employee Maria Gonzales:

    curl \
    --header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
    --header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
    --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
    --request GET \
    "http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/saphr/employee/55099307"
    {
      "_id" : "55099307",
      "PERSONAL_DATA" : {
        "PERNO" : "55099307",
        "INFOTYPE" : "0002",
        "TO_DATE" : "Fri Dec 31 00:00:00 CET 9999",
        "FROM_DATE" : "Tue Mar 30 00:00:00 CET 1954",
        "SEQNO" : "000",
        "CH_ON" : "Thu Mar 27 00:00:00 CET 2003",
        "CHANGED_BY" : "MAYROCK",
        "LAST_NAME" : "Gonzales",
        "FIRSTNAME" : "Maria",
        "NAME_FORM" : "00",
        "FORMOFADR" : "2",
        "GENDER" : "2",
        "BIRTHDATE" : "Tue Mar 30 00:00:00 CET 1954",
        "LANGU" : "D",
        "NO_O_CHLDR" : "0",
        "BIRTHYEAR" : "1954",
        "BIRTHMONTH" : "03",
        "BIRTHDAY" : "30",
        "LASTNAME_M" : "GONZALES",
        "FSTNAME_M" : "MARIA"
      },
    ...
    }

Using the SAP connector to manage employee information (SAP HR)

The following sample commands show how the SAP connector is used to manage the email account of user Maria Gonzales, retrieved in the previous step. Management of the global UID (SYS-UNAME) works in the same way.

  1. Check if Maria Gonzales already has an email account on the SAP HR system by filtering a query on her user account for the EMAIL field:

    curl \
    --header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
    --header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
     --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
     --request GET \
     "http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/saphr/employee/55099307?_fields=EMAIL"
    {
      "_id" : "55099307",
    }

    No email account is found for Maria Gonzales.

  2. Add an email account by sending a PUT request. The JSON payload should include the email address as the value of the ID property:

    curl \
    --header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
    --header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
     --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
     --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
     --request PUT \
     --data '{
      "EMAIL": { "ID": "maria.gonzales@example.com" }
     }' \
     "http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/saphr/employee/55099307"
    {
      "_id" : "55099307",
      "EMAIL" : [ {
        "EMPLOYEENO" : "55099307",
        "SUBTYPE" : "0010",
        "VALIDEND" : "Fri Dec 31 00:00:00 CET 9999",
        "VALIDBEGIN" : "Fri March 18 00:00:00 CET 2016",
        "RECORDNR" : "000",
        "COMMTYPE" : "0010",
        "NAMEOFCOMMTYPE" : "E-mail",
        "ID" : "Maria.Gonzales@example.com"
      } ],
    …​

    By default, the connector sets the VALIDBEGIN date to the current date, and the VALIDEND date to the SAP "END" date (12/31/9999). You can specify different temporal constraints by including these properties in the JSON payload, with the format YYYYMMDD. For example:

    {
      "EMAIL": {
         "ID": "maria.gonzales@example.com"
         "VALIDBEGIN": "20160401",
         "VALIDEND": "20161231"
      }
    }
  3. To change the value of an existing email account, provide a new value for the ID.

    The JSON payload of the change request must also include the RECORDNR attribute, as well as the VALIDBEGIN and VALIDEND dates, in SAP format (YYYYMMDD).

    The following example changes Maria Gonzales' email address to maria.gonzales-admin@example.com:

    curl \
    --header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
    --header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
     --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
     --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
     --request PUT \
     --data '{
      "EMAIL": {
         "ID": "maria.gonzales-admin@example.com",
         "RECORDNR" : "000",
         "VALIDEND" : "99991231",
         "VALIDBEGIN" : "20000101"
      }
     }' \
     "http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/saphr/employee/55099307"
  4. To change the temporal constraint (VALIDEND date) of the record, include the existing VALIDEND data in the JSON payload, and specify the new end date as a value of the DELIMIT_DATE attribute.

    The following example changes the end date of Maria Gonzale’s new mail address to December 31st, 2016:

    curl \
    --header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
    --header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
     --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
     --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
     --request PUT \
     --data '{
      "EMAIL": {
         "ID": "maria.gonzales-admin@example.com",
         "RECORDNR" : "000",
         "VALIDEND" : "99991231",
         "VALIDBEGIN" : "20000101",
         "DELIMIT_DATE": "20161231"
      }
     }' \
     "http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/saphr/employee/55099307"
  5. To delete the email address of the record, send a PUT request with the current RECORDNR, VALIDBEGIN, and VALIDEND attributes, but without the ID.

    The following request removes the email address from Maria Gonzales' record:

    curl \
    --header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
    --header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
     --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
     --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
     --request PUT \
     --data '{
      "EMAIL": {
         "RECORDNR" : "000",
         "VALIDEND" : "99991231",
         "VALIDBEGIN" : "20000101"
      }
     }' \
     "http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/saphr/employee/55099307"

Using the SAP connector to manage SAP Basis System (R/3) users

The SAP Connector enables you to perform the following operations on SAP system user accounts:

  • List all users

  • List all activity groups (roles)

  • Manage user profiles

  • List all user companies

  • Obtain a user’s details

  • Create a user

  • Update a user

  • Assign roles to a user

  • Lock a user account

  • Unlock a user account

  • Delete a user account

Currently, the SAP connector cannot detect changes on the SAP system in real time. You must run a reconciliation operation to detect changes on the SAP system.

Setting up IDM for the SAP R/3 samples

  1. Create a connector configuration file for the SAP connector and place it in your project’s conf/ directory.

    You can use this sample provisioner.openicf-sapr3.json as a guide.

    Edit that file with the connection details for your SAP R/3 system. Specifically, set at least the following properties:

    destination

    An alias to the SAP system to which you are connecting, for example, SAP1. If you are connecting to more than one SAP system, the destination property for each system must be unique.

    The sample connector configuration assumes a connection to a single SAP system, MYSAP.

    asHost

    The FQDN of your SAP Application Server, for example sap.example.com.

    user

    Your SAP user account.

    password

    The password of this SAP user account.

    client

    The SAP Client number that will be used to connect to the SAP system.

    systemNumber

    The SAP system number.

    directConnection

    A boolean (true/false). If true, the connection goes directly to an SAP ABAP Application server or SAP router. If false, the connection goes to a group of SAP instances, through an SAP message server.

    sapRouter

    The IP address and port of the SAP router, if applicable. The syntax is /H/hostport], for example /H/203.0.113.0/S/3299.

    poolCapacity

    The maximum number of idle connections kept open by the destination. If there is no connection pooling, set this to 0. The default value is 1.

    For optimum performance, set this value to an integer between 5 and 10.

  2. The connector bundles a number of SAP-certified sample Groovy scripts:

    TestSAP.groovy
    SearchSAPR3.groovy
    CreateSAPR3.groovy
    UpdateSAPR3.groovy
    DeleteSAPR3.groovy
    SchemaSAPR3.groovy

    If necessary, you can customize these scripts to suit your deployment by extracting them from the connector JAR and updating the connector configuration to point to the new file path.

    The sample connector configuration assumes the following locations for the scripts (relative to the value of the scriptRoots property):

    "testScriptFileName" : "scripts/sap/TestSAP.groovy",
    "searchScriptFileName" : "scripts/sap/r3/SearchSAPR3.groovy",
    "createScriptFileName" : "scripts/sap/r3/CreateSAPR3.groovy",
    "updateScriptFileName" : "scripts/sap/r3/UpdateSAPR3.groovy",
    "deleteScriptFileName" : "scripts/sap/r3/DeleteSAPR3.groovy",
    "schemaScriptFileName" : "scripts/sap/r3/SchemaSAPR3.groovy",
    The Groovy scripts belong to a specific package. The parent directory where the scripts are located must be the same as the package name. So the TestSAP.groovy script must be under a scripts/sap directory (because it belongs to the scripts/sap package) and the R/3 scripts must be under a scripts/sap/r3 directory (because they belong to the r3 package).

Testing the connection to the SAP R/3 system

  1. Start IDM with the configuration for your SAP R/3 project.

    This procedure assumes that the configuration is in the default path/to/openidm directory. If your SAP project is in a different directory, use the -p option with the startup command to point to that directory:

    /path/to/openidm/startup.sh
  2. Test that the connector has been configured correctly and that the SAP R/3 system can be reached:

    curl \
    --header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
    --header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
    --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
    --request POST \
    "http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/mysap/?_action=test"
    {
      "name": "mysap",
      "enabled": true,
      "config": "config/provisioner.openicf/mysap",
      "objectTypes": [
        "__ALL__",
        "user",
        "activity_group",
        "company",
        "profile"
      ],
      "connectorRef": {
        "connectorName": "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.sap.SapConnector",
        "bundleName": "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.sap-connector",
        "bundleVersion": "[1.5.0.0,1.6.0.0)"
      },
      "displayName": "Sap Connector",
      "ok": true
    }

Using the SAP Connector to Manage SAP R/3 Users

This section provides sample commands for managing users in an SAP system.

Listing the Users in the SAP System

The following command returns a list of the existing users in the SAP system, with their IDs:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
 --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
 --request GET \
 "http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/mysap/user?_queryId=query-all-ids"
{
  "result": [
    {
      "_id": "BJENSEN",
      "__NAME__": "BJENSEN"
    },
    {
      "_id": "DDIC",
      "__NAME__": "DDIC"
    },
    ...
    {
      "_id": "USER4",
      "__NAME__": "USER4"
    },
    {
      "_id": "USER6",
      "__NAME__": "USER6"
    },
    {
      "_id": "USER7",
      "__NAME__": "USER7"
    }
  ],
  "resultCount": 9,
  "pagedResultsCookie": null,
  "totalPagedResultsPolicy": "NONE",
  "totalPagedResults": -1,
  "remainingPagedResults": -1
}
Obtaining the Details of an SAP User

The following command uses the SAP connector to obtain a user’s details from a target SAP system:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request GET \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/mysap/user/BJENSEN"
{
    "__NAME__": "BJENSEN",
    "__ENABLE__": true,
    "__ENABLE_DATE__": "2015-09-01",
    "__DISABLE_DATE__": "2016-09-01",
    "__LOCK_OUT__": false,
    "ADDTEL": [
        {
            "COUNTRY": "DE",
            "TELEPHONE": "19851444",
            ...
        },
        ...
    ],
    "PROFILES": [
        {
            "BAPIPROF": "T_ALM_CONF",
            ...
        }
    ],
    "ISLOCKED": {
        "WRNG_LOGON": "U",
        ...
    },
    "ACTIVITYGROUPS": [
        {
            "AGR_NAME": "MW_ADMIN",
            "FROM_DAT": "2015-07-15",
            "TO_DAT": "9999-12-31",
            "AGR_TEXT": "Middleware Administrator"
        },
        ...
    ],
    "DEFAULTS": {
        ...
    },
    "COMPANY": {
        "COMPANY": "SAP AG"
    },
    "ADDRESS": {
        ...
    },
    "UCLASS": {
        ...
    },
    "LASTMODIFIED": {
        "MODDATE": "2015-07-15",
        "MODTIME": "14:22:57"
    },
    "LOGONDATA": {
        "GLTGV": "2015-09-01",
        "GLTGB": "2016-09-01",
        ...
    },
    "_id": "BJENSEN"
}

In addition to the standard user attributes, the GET request returns the following ICF operational attributes:

  • __ENABLE__ - indicates whether the account is enabled, based on the value of the LOGONDATA attribute

  • __ENABLE_DATE__ - set to the value of LOGONDATA/GLTGV (date from which the user account is valid)

  • __DISABLE_DATE__ - set to the value of LOGONDATA/GLTGB (date to which the user account is valid)

  • __LOCK_OUT__ - indicates whether the account is locked

Creating SAP User Accounts

To create a user, you must supply at least a username and password. If you do not provide a lastname, the connector uses the value of the username.

The following command creates a new SAP user, SCARTER:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--request POST \
--data '{
    "__NAME__" : "SCARTER",
    "__PASSWORD__": "Passw0rd"
}' \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/mysap/user/?_action=create"
{
  "_id": "SCARTER",
  "COMPANY": {
    "COMPANY": "SAP AG"
  },
  "__LOCK_OUT__": false,
  "ADDRESS": {
    ...
  },
  "__NAME__": "SCARTER",
  "LASTMODIFIED": {
    "MODDATE": "2016-04-20",
    "MODTIME": "04:14:29"
  },
  "UCLASS": {
    "COUNTRY_SURCHARGE": "0",
    "SUBSTITUTE_FROM": "0000-00-00",
    "SUBSTITUTE_UNTIL": "0000-00-00"
  },
  "__ENABLE__": true,
  "DEFAULTS": {
    "SPDB": "H",
    "SPDA": "K",
    "DATFM": "1",
    "TIMEFM": "0"
  },
  "LOGONDATA": {
    ...
  },
  "ISLOCKED": {
    "WRNG_LOGON": "U",
    "LOCAL_LOCK": "U",
    "GLOB_LOCK": "U",
    "NO_USER_PW": "U"
  }
}

The SAP account that is created is valid and enabled, but the password is expired by default. To log in to the SAP system, the newly created user must first provide a new password.

To create a user with a valid (non-expired) password, include the __PASSWORD_EXPIRED__ attribute in the JSON payload, with a value of false. For example:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--request POST \
--data '{
    "__NAME__" : "SCARTER",
    "__PASSWORD__": "Passw0rd",
    "__PASSWORD_EXPIRED__": false
}' \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/mysap/user/?_action=create"

To create an account that is locked by default, include the __LOCK_OUT__ attribute in the JSON payload, with a value of true. For example:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
 --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
 --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
 --request POST \
 --data '{
    "__NAME__" : "SCARTER",
    "__PASSWORD__": "Passw0rd",
    "__LOCK_OUT__": true
 }' \
 "http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/mysap/user/?_action=create"
{
    "__NAME__": "SCARTER",
    "__ENABLE__": false,
    "__LOCK_OUT__": true,
    "LOGONDATA": {
        "GLTGV": "0000-00-00",
        "GLTGB": "0000-00-00",
        "USTYP": "A",
        "LTIME": "00:00:00",
        "BCODE": "2FC0D86C99AA5862",
        "CODVN": "B",
        "PASSCODE": "1DBBD983287D7CB4D8177B4333F439F808A395FA",
        "CODVC": "F",
        "PWDSALTEDHASH": "{x-issha, 1024}zrs3Zm/fX/l/KFGATp3kvOGlis3zLLiPmPVCDpJ9XF0=",
        "CODVS": "I"
    },
    "LASTMODIFIED": {
        "MODDATE": "2015-10-01",
        "MODTIME": "15:25:18"
    },
    "ISLOCKED": {
        "WRNG_LOGON": "U",
        "LOCAL_LOCK": "L",     // "L" indicates that the user is locked on the local system
        "GLOB_LOCK": "U",
        "NO_USER_PW": "U"
    },
...
Schema Used by the SAP Connector For User Accounts

For the most part, the SAP connector uses the standard SAP schema to create a user account. The most common attributes in an SAP user account are as follows:

  • ADDRESS - user address data

  • LOGONDATA - user logon data

  • DEFAULTS - user account defaults

  • COMPANY - the company to which the user is assigned

  • REF_USER - the usernames of the Reference User

  • ALIAS - an alias for the username

  • UCLASS - license-related user classification

  • LASTMODIFIED - read-only attribute that indicates the date and time that the account was last changed

  • ISLOCKED - read-only attribute that indicates the lockout status of the account

  • IDENTITY - assignment of a personal identity to the user account

  • PROFILES - any profiles assigned to the user account (see connector-reference:sap.adoc#user-profiles).

  • ACTIVITYGROUPS - activity groups assigned to the user

  • ADDTEL - telephone numbers assigned to the user

In addition, the SAP connector supports the following ICF operational attributes for CREATE requests:

  • LOCK_OUT

  • PASSWORD

  • PASSWORD_EXPIRED

The following example creates a user, KVAUGHAN, with all of the standard attributes:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
 --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
 --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
 --request POST \
 --data '{
    "__NAME__" : "KVAUGHAN",
    "__PASSWORD__": "Passw0rd",
    "__PASSWORD_EXPIRED__": false,
    "LOGONDATA": {
	       "GLTGV": "2016-04-01",
	       "GLTGB": "2016-12-01",
	       "USTYP": "A"
	   },

Updating SAP User Accounts

The following sections provide sample commands for updating an existing user account.

Locking and Unlocking an Account

To lock or unlock a user’s account, send a PUT request, and set the value of the user’s __LOCK_OUT__ attribute to true.

The following example locks user KVAUGHAN’s account:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
 --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
 --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
 --header "If-Match: *" \
 --request PUT \
 --data '{
    "__LOCK_OUT__": true
 }' \
 "http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/mysap/user/KVAUGHAN"

The following example unlocks KVAUGHAN’s account:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
 --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
 --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
 --header "If-Match: *" \
 --request PUT \
 --data '{
    "__LOCK_OUT__": false
 }' \
 "http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/mysap/user/KVAUGHAN"
Updating the Standard Attributes of a User’s Account

To update a user’s standard attributes, send a PUT request to the user ID. The JSON payload must respect the structure for each attribute, as indicated in connector-reference:sap.adoc#sap-user-schema.

The following command updates the ADDRESS attribute of user KVAUGHAN:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
 --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
 --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
 --header "If-Match: *" \
 --request PUT \
 --data '{
    "ADDRESS": {
        "FIRSTNAME": "Katie",
        "LASTNAME": "Vaughan",
        "FULLNAME": "Katie Vaughan",
        "FUNCTION": "Administrator",
        "TITLE": "Company",
        "NAME": "EXAMPLE.COM",
        "CITY": "San Francisco",
        "POSTL_COD1": "94105",
        "STREET": "Sacramento St",
        "HOUSE_NO": "2912",
        "COUNTRY": "US",
        "COUNTRYISO": "US",
        "LANGU": "E",
        "LANGU_ISO": "EN",
        "REGION": "CA",
        "TIME_ZONE": "PST",
        "TEL1_NUMBR": "33297603177",
        "E_MAIL": "katie.vaughan@example.com",
        "LANGU_CR_P": "E",
        "LANGUCPISO": "EN"
    }
}' \
 "http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/mysap/user/KVAUGHAN"
Resetting a User’s Password

To reset the user’s password, provide the new password as the value of the __PASSWORD__ attribute, in a PUT request. The following command resets KVAUGHAN’s password to MyPassw0rd:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
 --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
 --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
 --header "If-Match: *" \
 --request PUT \
 --data '{
    "__PASSWORD__": "MyPassw0rd"
 }' \
 "http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/mysap/user/KVAUGHAN"

Note that unless you set the __PASSWORD_EXPIRED__ attribute to false, the user will be required to reset her password the next time she logs into the SAP system.

The following command resets KVAUGHAN’s password to MyPassw0rd, and ensures that she does not have to reset her password the next time she logs in:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
 --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
 --request PUT \
 --data '{
    "__PASSWORD__": "MyPassw0rd",
    "__PASSWORD_EXPIRED__": false
 }'
 "http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/mysap/user/KVAUGHAN"
Deleting User Accounts

To delete a user account, send a DELETE request to the user ID. The following example deletes KVAUGHAN:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
 --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
 --request DELETE \
 "http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/mysap/user/KVAUGHAN"

The command returns the complete user object that was deleted.

Managing User Profiles

An SAP system uses profiles to manage authorization. The following examples demonstrate how to add, change, and remove a user’s profiles.

Creating a User With One or More Profiles

Profiles are added as an array of one or more objects.

The following command creates a user BJENSEN, with the system administrator profile (S_A.SYSTEM):

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
 --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
 --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
 --request POST \
 --data '{
    "__NAME__" : "BJENSEN",
    "__PASSWORD__": "Passw0rd",
    "__PASSWORD_EXPIRED__": false,
    "PROFILES": [
        {"BAPIPROF": "S_A.SYSTEM"}
    ]
 }' \
 "http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/mysap/user/?_action=create"
{
  "_id": "BJENSEN",
  "COMPANY": {
    "COMPANY": "SAP AG"
  },
  "PROFILES": [
    {
      "BAPIPROF": "S_A.SYSTEM",
      "BAPIPTEXT": "System administrator (Superuser)",
      "BAPITYPE": "S",
      "BAPIAKTPS": "A"
    }
  ],
  ...
  "__NAME__": "BJENSEN"
}

Note that the additional information regarding that profile is added to the user account automatically.

Updating a User’s Profiles

To update a user’s profiles, send a PUT request to the user’s ID, specifying the new profiles as an array of values for the PROFILES attribute. The values provided in the PUT request will replace the current profiles, so you must include the existing profiles in the request.

The following example adds the SAP_ALL profile to user BJENSEN’s account:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
 --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
 --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
 --header "If-Match: *" \
 --request PUT \
 --data '{
   "PROFILES": [
      {"BAPIPROF": "S_A.SYSTEM"},
      {"BAPIPROF": "SAP_ALL"}
      ]
}' \
 "http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/mysap/user/BJENSEN"
{
  "_id": "BJENSEN",
  "COMPANY": {
    "COMPANY": "SAP AG"
  },
  "PROFILES": [
    {
      "BAPIPROF": "SAP_ALL",
      "BAPIPTEXT": "All SAP System authorizations",
      "BAPITYPE": "C",
      "BAPIAKTPS": "A"
    },
    {
      "BAPIPROF": "S_A.SYSTEM",
      "BAPIPTEXT": "System administrator (Superuser)",
      "BAPITYPE": "S",
      "BAPIAKTPS": "A"
    }
  ],
 ...
  "__NAME__": "BJENSEN"
}
Removing All Profiles From a User Account

To remove all profiles from a user’s account, update the account with an empty array. The following example removes all profiles from BJENSEN’s account:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
 --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
 --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
 --header "If-Match: *" \
 --request PUT \
 --data '{
   "PROFILES": []
}' \
 "http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/mysap/user/BJENSEN"
"_id": "BJENSEN",
  "COMPANY": {
    "COMPANY": "SAP AG"
  },
 ...
  "__NAME__": "BJENSEN"
}

The output shows no PROFILES attribute, as this attribute is now empty for this user.

Managing User Roles

SAP user roles (or activity groups) are an alternative mechanism to grant authorization to an SAP system. Essentially, a role encapsulates a set of one or more profiles.

Roles can be granted with temporal constraints, that is, a period during which the role is valid. If no temporal constraints are specified, the SAP connector sets the FROM date to the current date and the TO date to 9999-12-31.

Creating a User With One or More Profiles

Roles are added as an array of one or more objects.

The following command creates a user SCARTER, with two roles: SAP_AUDITOR_SA_CCM_USR and SAP_ALM_ADMINISTRATOR. The auditor role has a temporal constraint, and is valid only from May 1st, 2016 to April 30th, 2017. The format of the temporal constraint is YYYY-mm-dd:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
 --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
 --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
 --request POST \
 --data '{
    "__NAME__" : "SCARTER",
    "__PASSWORD__": "Passw0rd",
    "__PASSWORD_EXPIRED__": false,
    "ACTIVITYGROUPS": [
        {
            "AGR_NAME": "SAP_AUDITOR_SA_CCM_USR",
            "FROM_DAT": "2016-05-01",
            "TO_DAT": "2017-04-30"
        },
        {
            "AGR_NAME": "SAP_ALM_ADMINISTRATOR"
        }
    ]
 }' \
 "http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/mysap/user/?_action=create"
{
  "_id": "SCARTER",
  "COMPANY": {
    "COMPANY": "SAP AG"
  },
  "PROFILES": [
    {
      "BAPIPROF": "T_ALM_CONF",
      "BAPIPTEXT": "Profile for the Role SAP_ALM_ADMINISTRATOR",
      "BAPITYPE": "G",
      "BAPIAKTPS": "A"
    }
  ],
  ...
  "ACTIVITYGROUPS": [
    {
      "AGR_NAME": "SAP_ALM_ADMINISTRATOR",
      "FROM_DAT": "2016-04-20",
      "TO_DAT": "9999-12-31",
      "AGR_TEXT": "Alert Management Administrator"
    },
    {
      "AGR_NAME": "SAP_AUDITOR_SA_CCM_USR",
      "FROM_DAT": "2016-05-01",
      "TO_DAT": "2017-04-30",
      "AGR_TEXT": "AIS - System Audit - Users and Authorizations"
    }
  ],
  "__NAME__": "SCARTER"
}

When a role is granted, the corresponding profiles are attached to the user account automatically.

Updating a User’s Roles

To update a user’s roles, send a PUT request to the user’s ID, specifying the new roles as an array of values of the ACTIVITYGROUPS attribute. The values provided in the PUT request will replace the current ACTIVITYGROUPS.

The following example removes the SAP_AUDITOR_SA_CCM_USR role and changes the temporal constraints on the SAP_ALM_ADMINISTRATOR role for SCARTER’s account:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
 --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
 --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
 --header "If-Match: *" \
 --request PUT \
 --data '{
  "ACTIVITYGROUPS": [
      {
      "AGR_NAME": "SAP_ALM_ADMINISTRATOR",
      "FROM_DAT": "2015-06-02",
      "TO_DAT": "2016-06-02"
      }
  ]
}' \
 "http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/mysap/user/SCARTER"
{
  "_id": "SCARTER",
  "COMPANY": {
    "COMPANY": "SAP AG"
  },
  "PROFILES": [
    {
      "BAPIPROF": "T_ALM_CONF",
      "BAPIPTEXT": "Profile for the Role SAP_ALM_ADMINISTRATOR",
      "BAPITYPE": "G",
      "BAPIAKTPS": "A"
    }
  ],
  ...
  "ACTIVITYGROUPS": [
    {
      "AGR_NAME": "SAP_ALM_ADMINISTRATOR",
      "FROM_DAT": "2015-06-02",
      "TO_DAT": "2016-06-02",
      "AGR_TEXT": "Alert Management Administrator"
    }
  ],
  "__NAME__": "SCARTER"
}
Removing All Roles From a User Account

To remove all roles from a user’s account, update the value of the ACTIVITYGROUPS attribute with an empty array. The following example removes all roles from SCARTER’s account:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
 --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
 --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
 --header "If-Match: *" \
 --request PUT \
 --data '{
   "ACTIVITYGROUPS": []
}' \
 "http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/mysap/user/SCARTER"
{
  "_id": "SCARTER",
  "COMPANY": {
    "COMPANY": "SAP AG"
  },
  ...
  "LASTMODIFIED": {
    "MODDATE": "2016-04-21",
    "MODTIME": "04:27:00"
  },
  "__NAME__": "SCARTER"
}

The output shows no ACTIVITYGROUPS attribute, as this attribute is now empty.

Configuring the SAP Connector For SNC

The SAP connector supports an SNC (Secure Network Connection) configuration. SNC is a software layer in the SAP System architecture that provides an interface to an external security product.

For a list of the configuration properties specific to SNC, see SAP Secure Network Connection Configuration Properties.

Implementation Specifics

For PATCH requests, a connector can potentially add, remove, or replace an attribute value. The SAP connector implements the add, remove, and replace operations but the sample scripts provided with the connector implement only the replace operation. If you use these sample scripts, a PATCH request will therefore always replace the entire attribute value with the new value.

Setting Productive Passwords on the SAP System

Synchronization of passwords to the SAP system requires that you configure SNC and SSO. If you do not configure these two elements correctly, passwords that are updated by IDM are set as initial passwords rather than productive passwords, and users are forced to change their passwords on login.

  1. To configure the SAP connector to use SNC, set the sncMode property to "1".

    To configure the connector to use SSO with SNC, set the sncSSO property to "1".

  2. The logon session during which a productive password is set must be secured using the authentication method Single Sign-On (SSO) using Secure Network Communications (SNC). IDM must request and receive an SSO logon ticket from the SAP system to allow the BAPI_USER_CHANGE process to set a productive password. For more information, see SAP Note 1287410.

    To configure the connector to request this logon ticket, set the value of the x509Cert property as follows:

    • If you are using an X509 certificate to negotiate with the SAP server, set the x509Cert property to the base 64-encoded certificate.

      Note that the certificate must be a valid, CA-signed certificate. You cannot use a self-signed certificate here.

    • If you are not using an X509 certificate to negotiate with the SAP server, set the x509Cert property to null.

      In this case, the connector will use the user and password specified in the connector configuration to request the SSO logon ticket.

OpenICF Interfaces Implemented by the SAP Connector

The SAP Connector implements the following OpenICF interfaces. For additional details, see ICF interfaces:

Authenticate

Provides simple authentication with two parameters, presumed to be a user name and password.

Create

Creates an object and its uid.

Delete

Deletes an object, referenced by its uid.

Resolve Username

Resolves an object by its username and returns the uid of the object.

Schema

Describes the object types, operations, and options that the connector supports.

Script on Connector

Enables an application to run a script in the context of the connector.

Any script that runs on the connector has the following characteristics:

  • The script runs in the same execution environment as the connector and has access to all the classes to which the connector has access.

  • The script has access to a connector variable that is equivalent to an initialized instance of the connector. At a minimum, the script can access the connector configuration.

  • The script has access to any script arguments passed in by the application.

Script on Resource

Runs a script on the target resource that is managed by this connector.

Search

Searches the target resource for all objects that match the specified object class and filter.

Sync

Polls the target resource for synchronization events, that is, native changes to objects on the target resource.

Test

Tests the connector configuration.

Testing a configuration checks all elements of the environment that are referred to by the configuration are available. For example, the connector might make a physical connection to a host that is specified in the configuration to verify that it exists and that the credentials that are specified in the configuration are valid.

This operation might need to connect to a resource, and, as such, might take some time. Do not invoke this operation too often, such as before every provisioning operation. The test operation is not intended to check that the connector is alive (that is, that its physical connection to the resource has not timed out).

You can invoke the test operation before a connector configuration has been validated.

Update

Updates (modifies or replaces) objects on a target resource.

SAP S/4HANA connector

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

The SAP S/4HANA connector lets you manage and synchronize accounts between SAP S/4HANA and IDM managed user objects. An SAP S/4HANA administrator account is required for this connector to work.

The SAP S/4HANA connector only supports SAP HANA Cloud. It does not support HANA DB.

Before you start

Before you configure the connector, log in to your AWS administrator account and note the following:

Username

Inbound Communication user of SAP S/4HANA.

Password

Inbound Communication user password of SAP S/4HANA.

Tenant ID

Which tenant the SAP S/4HANA instance is hosted on.

Install the SAP S/4HANA connector

Download the connector .jar file from the ForgeRock BackStage download site.

  • If you are running the connector locally, place it in the /path/to/openidm/connectors directory, for example:

    mv ~/Downloads/saphana-connector-1.5.20.15.jar /path/to/openidm/connectors/
  • If you are using a remote connector server (RCS), place it in the /path/to/openicf/connectors directory on the RCS.

Configure the SAP S/4HANA connector

Create a connector configuration using the admin UI:

  1. Select Configure > Connectors and click New Connector.

  2. Enter a Connector Name.

  3. Select SAP HANA Connector - 1.5.20.15 as the Connector Type.

  4. Provide the Base Connector Details.

  5. Click Save.

When your connector is configured correctly, the connector displays as Active in the admin UI.

Alternatively, test that the configuration is correct by running the following command:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request POST \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/saphana?_action=test"
{
  "name": "saphana",
  "enabled": true,
  "config": "config/provisioner.openicf/saphana",
  "connectorRef": {
    "bundleVersion": "[1.5.0.0,1.6.0.0)",
    "bundleName": "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.saphana-connector",
    "connectorName": "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.saphana.SapHanaConnector"
  },
  "displayName": "SAP HANA Connector",
  "objectTypes": [
    "__ACCOUNT__",
    "__ALL__"
  ],
  "ok": true
}

If the command returns "ok": true, your connector has been configured correctly, and can authenticate to the SAP S/4HANA system.

OpenICF Interfaces Implemented by the SAP HANA Connector

The SAP HANA Connector implements the following OpenICF interfaces. For additional details, see ICF interfaces:

Create

Creates an object and its uid.

Schema

Describes the object types, operations, and options that the connector supports.

Script on Connector

Enables an application to run a script in the context of the connector.

Any script that runs on the connector has the following characteristics:

  • The script runs in the same execution environment as the connector and has access to all the classes to which the connector has access.

  • The script has access to a connector variable that is equivalent to an initialized instance of the connector. At a minimum, the script can access the connector configuration.

  • The script has access to any script arguments passed in by the application.

Search

Searches the target resource for all objects that match the specified object class and filter.

Test

Tests the connector configuration.

Testing a configuration checks all elements of the environment that are referred to by the configuration are available. For example, the connector might make a physical connection to a host that is specified in the configuration to verify that it exists and that the credentials that are specified in the configuration are valid.

This operation might need to connect to a resource, and, as such, might take some time. Do not invoke this operation too often, such as before every provisioning operation. The test operation is not intended to check that the connector is alive (that is, that its physical connection to the resource has not timed out).

You can invoke the test operation before a connector configuration has been validated.

Update

Updates (modifies or replaces) objects on a target resource.

SAP HANA Connector Configuration

The SAP HANA Connector has the following configurable properties:

Basic configuration properties

(1) Whether the property value is considered confidential, and is therefore encrypted in IDM.

(2) A list of operations in this column indicates that the property is required for those operations.

SCIM connector

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

The SCIM connector is based on the Simple Cloud Identity Management (SCIM) protocol and lets you manage user and group accounts on any SCIM-compliant resource provider, such as Slack or Facebook. The SCIM connector implements both 1.1 and 2.0 endpoints.

The SCIM connector uses the Apache HTTP client, which leverages the HTTP client connection pool, not the ICF connector pool.

You cannot configure the SCIM connector through the UI. Configure the connector over REST, as described in Configure Connectors Over REST.

Create a connector configuration file in your project’s conf directory:

Configure the SCIM Connector Using the Filesystem
  1. Copy /path/to/openidm/samples/example-configurations/provisioners/provisioner.openicf-scim.json to your project’s conf/ directory.

  2. Edit conf/provisioner.openicf-scim.json , as necessary. The following changes are required:

    • "enabled" : true

    • To specify the connection details to the SCIM resource provider, set the configurationProperties. The required properties vary, based on the authenticationMethod:

      OAUTH

      The minimum required properties are grantType, SCIMEndpoint, tokenEndpoint, clientId, and clientSecret.

      BASIC

      The minimum required properties are user and password.

      TOKEN

      The minimum required property is authToken.

    Sample Configuration Using OAUTH
    "configurationProperties" : {
        "SCIMEndpoint" : "https://example.com/scim",
        "SCIMVersion" : 1,
        "authenticationMethod" : "OAUTH",
        "user" : null,
        "password" : null,
        "tokenEndpoint" : "https://example.com/oauth2/token",
        "clientId" : "Kdvl...................j3fka",
        "clientSecret" : "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
        "acceptSelfSignedCertificates" : true,
        "grantType" : "client_credentials",
        "disableHostNameVerifier" : true,
        "connectionTimeout" : 30,
        "maximumConnections" : 10,
        "httpProxyHost" : null,
        "httpProxyPort" : null
    }
    On startup, IDM encrypts the value of the clientSecret.

After the connector is properly configured, you can test its status:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request POST \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system?_action=test"
[
  {
    "name": "SCIM",
    "enabled": true,
    "config": "config/provisioner.openicf/SCIM",
    "connectorRef": {
      "bundleName": "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.scim-connector",
      "connectorName": "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.scim.ScimConnector",
      "bundleVersion": "[1.5.0.0,1.6.0.0)"
    },
    "displayName": "Scim Connector",
    "objectTypes": [
      "__ACCOUNT__",
      "__ALL__",
      "__GROUP__"
    ],
    "ok": true
  }
]

A status of "ok": true indicates that the SCIM connector can reach the configured resource provider.

Implementation specifics

For PATCH requests, a connector can potentially add, remove, or replace an attribute value. The SCIM connector does not implement the add or remove operations, so a PATCH request always replaces the entire attribute value with the new value.

Using the SCIM connector with a proxy server

If the IDM server is hosted behind a firewall and requests to the resource provider are routed through a proxy, you must specify the proxy host and port in the connector configuration.

To specify the proxy server details, set the httpProxyHost, and httpProxyPort properties in the connector configuration. For example:

"configurationProperties": {
    ...
    "httpProxyHost": "myproxy.home.com",
    "httpProxyPort": 8080,
    ...
},

OpenICF Interfaces Implemented by the Scim Connector

The Scim Connector implements the following OpenICF interfaces. For additional details, see ICF interfaces:

Create

Creates an object and its uid.

Delete

Deletes an object, referenced by its uid.

Schema

Describes the object types, operations, and options that the connector supports.

Script on Connector

Enables an application to run a script in the context of the connector.

Any script that runs on the connector has the following characteristics:

  • The script runs in the same execution environment as the connector and has access to all the classes to which the connector has access.

  • The script has access to a connector variable that is equivalent to an initialized instance of the connector. At a minimum, the script can access the connector configuration.

  • The script has access to any script arguments passed in by the application.

Search

Searches the target resource for all objects that match the specified object class and filter.

Sync

Polls the target resource for synchronization events, that is, native changes to objects on the target resource.

Test

Tests the connector configuration.

Testing a configuration checks all elements of the environment that are referred to by the configuration are available. For example, the connector might make a physical connection to a host that is specified in the configuration to verify that it exists and that the credentials that are specified in the configuration are valid.

This operation might need to connect to a resource, and, as such, might take some time. Do not invoke this operation too often, such as before every provisioning operation. The test operation is not intended to check that the connector is alive (that is, that its physical connection to the resource has not timed out).

You can invoke the test operation before a connector configuration has been validated.

Scripted REST connector

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

The Scripted REST connector is an implementation of the Scripted Groovy Connector Toolkit. It can interact with any REST API, using Groovy scripts for the ICF operations. This connector type lets you develop a fully functional REST-based connector for in-house applications, or for any cloud-based application not yet supported with the standard set of ForgeRock connectors.

To use this connector, you must write a Groovy script for each operation that you want the connector to perform (create, read, update, delete, authenticate, and so on). No sample scripts are bundled with the connector, but IDM customers have access to the Scripted REST connector source code in the connectors-customers-ga repo. This repository includes sample scripts for all the ICF operations.

You cannot configure the Scripted REST connector through the UI. Configure the connector over REST, as described in Configure Connectors Over REST.

Alternatively, a sample connector configuration and scripts are provided in the /path/to/openidm/samples/scripted-rest-with-dj/ directory and described in Connect to DS with ScriptedREST. The scripts provided with this sample demonstrate how the connector can be used, but most likely cannot be used as is in your deployment. They are a good starting point from which to base your customization. For information about writing your own scripts, see Scripted connectors with Groovy.

Script custom behavior

The Scripted REST connector uses the Apache HTTP client library. Unlike the Scripted SQL connector, which uses JDBC drivers and a Tomcat JDBC connection pool, the Scripted REST connector includes a special script to customize the Apache HTTP client.

This customizer script lets you customize the Apache HTTP client connection pool, proxy, default headers, timeouts, and so on.

The customizer script is referenced in the connector configuration, in the CustomizerScriptFileName property:

{
...
   "configurationProperties": {
       ...
       "customizerScriptFileName": "CustomizerScript.groovy",
       ...
   }
}

The script can implement two predefined Groovy closures — init {} and decorate {}.

init {}

The Apache HTTP client provides an HTTPClientBuilder class, to build an instance of the HTTPClient. The Scripted REST connector injects this builder into the init closure when the connector is first instantiated. The init closure is the ideal place to customize the HTTP client with the builder.

You can customize the following elements of the client:

  • Connection pool

  • Connection timeouts

  • Proxy

  • Default HTTP headers

  • Certificate handling

Example init closure
/**
 * A customizer script defines the custom closures to interact with the default implementation and customize it.
 * Here, the {@link HttpClientBuilder} is passed to the customize closure. This is where the pooling, the headers,
 * the timeouts etc... should be defined.
 */
customize {
    init { HttpClientBuilder builder ->

        //SETUP: org.apache.http
        def c = delegate as ScriptedRESTConfiguration
        def httpHost = new HttpHost(c.serviceAddress?.host, c.serviceAddress?.port, c.serviceAddress?.scheme)

        PoolingHttpClientConnectionManager cm = new PoolingHttpClientConnectionManager()
        // Increase max total connection to 200
        cm.setMaxTotal(200)
        // Increase default max connection per route to 20
        cm.setDefaultMaxPerRoute(20)
        // Increase max connections for httpHost to 50
        cm.setMaxPerRoute(new HttpRoute(httpHost), 50)

        builder.setConnectionManager(cm)

        // configure timeout on the entire client
        RequestConfig requestConfig = RequestConfig.custom()/*
                                                             * .
                                                             * setConnectionRequestTimeout
                                                             * ( 50).
                                                             * setConnectTimeout
                                                             * (50)
                                                             * .setSocketTimeout
                                                             * (50)
                                                             */.build();
        builder.setDefaultRequestConfig(requestConfig)

        ...
    }
}

Call the builder methods to fit your requirements. The init{} closure does not need to return anything.

decorate {}

The init closure configures a Java instance of the HTTP client, which is injected into every CRUD script. In addition to the libraries provided by the Apache HTTP client, Groovy provides a number of libraries to deal with requests and responses.

The decorate closure lets you inject a "decorated" instance of the HTTP client into your scripts. For example, the sample scripts use the groovyx.net.http.RESTClient library.

This excerpt of a sample delete script shows the injection of the httpClient and connection variables into the script. The connection variable is the output of the decorate closure.

Example decorate closure
def operation = operation as OperationType
def configuration = configuration as ScriptedRESTConfiguration
def httpClient = connection as HttpClient
def connection = customizedConnection as RESTClient
def log = log as Log
def objectClass = objectClass as ObjectClass
def options = options as OperationOptions
def uid = uid as Uid

log.info("Entering " + operation + " Script");

switch (objectClass) {
    case ObjectClass.ACCOUNT:
        connection.delete(path: '/api/users/' + uid.uidValue);
        break
    case ObjectClass.GROUP:
        connection.delete(path: '/api/groups/' + uid.uidValue);
}

When you use the defaultRequestHeaders configuration property to set HTTP request headers, the syntax requires an = sign rather than a :. For example, to generate a request header such as "Authorization: Bearer rg1cwAeQJxEf", you must set the following value for defaultRequestHeaders in the connector configuration:

"defaultRequestHeaders" : [ "Authorization = Bearer rg1cwAeQJxEf" ]
Example OAuth2 Authentication Implementation

This example shows how to use the customizer script to implement OAuth2 authentication in the Scripted REST connector.

Although grant types are largely standardized across OAuth2 authentication providers, the way in which different providers handle flows, headers, attribute names, and so on, often differs. This makes it difficult to include a single implementation of OAuth2 authentication in the Scripted REST connector. To make sure that OAuth2 authentication works in your specific use case, you use the customizer script, which can be adapted without requiring a new version of the connector itself.

The Scripted REST connector includes a simple implementation of the OAuth2 Client Credentials grant type. The connector needs to get an access token, using the Client ID and the Client Secret, cache it, and renew it when it expires or when the server revokes it. The Apache client provides interceptors for requests and responses. These interceptors can be used in the customizer script to manage the access token:

  • In the request: If the access token is absent or expired, renew the token and cache it in the Scripted REST connector property bag.

  • In the response: If the server returns a 401 error, delete the Access Token from the connector property bag. This will ensure that the next connector request gets a new access token. The HTTP POST query to get the access token is also handled by the customizer script.

This example shows a complete customizer script for the OAuth2 implementation:

init { HttpClientBuilder builder ->

        switch (ScriptedRESTConfiguration.AuthMethod.valueOf(c.defaultAuthMethod)) {
 // ......
            case ScriptedRESTConfiguration.AuthMethod.OAUTH:
                // define a request interceptor to set the Authorization header if absent or expired
                HttpRequestInterceptor requestInterceptor = { HttpRequest request, HttpContext context ->
                    if (null == context.getAttribute("oauth-request")) {
                        def exp = c.propertyBag.tokenExpiration as Long
                        if (c.propertyBag.accessToken == null || exp < System.currentTimeMillis() / 1000) {
                            new NewAccessToken(c).clientCredentials()
                        }
                        request.addHeader(new BasicHeader(HttpHeaders.AUTHORIZATION, "Bearer " + c.propertyBag.accessToken))
                    }
                }

                // define a response interceptor to catch a 401 response code and delete access token from cache
                HttpResponseInterceptor responseInterceptor = { HttpResponse response, HttpContext context ->
                    if (HttpStatus.SC_UNAUTHORIZED == response.statusLine.statusCode) {
                        if (c.propertyBag.accessToken != null) {
                            c.propertyBag.remove("accessToken")
                            Log.getLog(ScriptedRESTConnector.class).info("Code 401 - accessToken removed")
                        }
                    }
                }

Using the Scripted REST connector with a proxy server

If the IDM server is hosted behind a firewall and requests to the resource are routed through a proxy, you must specify the proxy host and port in the connector configuration.

To specify the proxy server details, set the proxyAddress property in the connector configuration. For example:

"configurationProperties": {
    ...
    "proxyAddress": "http://myproxy:8080",
    ...
}

Implemented interfaces

This table lists the ICF interfaces that are implemented for the scripted REST connector:

OpenICF Interfaces Implemented by the Scripted REST Connector

The Scripted REST Connector implements the following OpenICF interfaces. For additional details, see ICF interfaces:

Authenticate

Provides simple authentication with two parameters, presumed to be a user name and password.

Create

Creates an object and its uid.

Delete

Deletes an object, referenced by its uid.

Resolve Username

Resolves an object by its username and returns the uid of the object.

Schema

Describes the object types, operations, and options that the connector supports.

Script on Connector

Enables an application to run a script in the context of the connector.

Any script that runs on the connector has the following characteristics:

  • The script runs in the same execution environment as the connector and has access to all the classes to which the connector has access.

  • The script has access to a connector variable that is equivalent to an initialized instance of the connector. At a minimum, the script can access the connector configuration.

  • The script has access to any script arguments passed in by the application.

Script on Resource

Runs a script on the target resource that is managed by this connector.

Search

Searches the target resource for all objects that match the specified object class and filter.

Sync

Polls the target resource for synchronization events, that is, native changes to objects on the target resource.

Test

Tests the connector configuration.

Testing a configuration checks all elements of the environment that are referred to by the configuration are available. For example, the connector might make a physical connection to a host that is specified in the configuration to verify that it exists and that the credentials that are specified in the configuration are valid.

This operation might need to connect to a resource, and, as such, might take some time. Do not invoke this operation too often, such as before every provisioning operation. The test operation is not intended to check that the connector is alive (that is, that its physical connection to the resource has not timed out).

You can invoke the test operation before a connector configuration has been validated.

Update

Updates (modifies or replaces) objects on a target resource.

Scripted SQL connector

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

The Scripted SQL connector is an implementation of the Scripted Groovy Connector Toolkit. This connector lets you interact with any SQL database, using Groovy scripts for the ICF operations.

To use this connector, you must write a Groovy script for each operation that you want the connector to perform (create, read, update, delete, authenticate, and so on). No sample scripts are bundled with the connector, but IDM customers have access to the Scripted SQL connector source code in the connectors-customers-ga repo. This repository includes sample scripts for all the ICF operations.

Configure the Scripted SQL connector

You cannot configure the Scripted SQL connector through the UI. Configure the connector over REST, as described in Configure Connectors Over REST.

Alternatively, a sample connector configuration and scripts are provided in the /path/to/openidm/samples/scripted-sql-with-mysql/ directory and described in Connect to a MySQL database with ScriptedSQL. The scripts provided with this sample demonstrate how the connector can be used, but most likely cannot be used as is in your deployment. They are a good starting point from which to base your customization. For information about writing your own scripts, see Scripted connectors with Groovy.

  • The script has access to any script arguments passed in by the application.

Script on Resource

Runs a script on the target resource that is managed by this connector.

Search

Searches the target resource for all objects that match the specified object class and filter.

Sync

Polls the target resource for synchronization events, that is, native changes to objects on the target resource.

Test

Tests the connector configuration.

Testing a configuration checks all elements of the environment that are referred to by the configuration are available. For example, the connector might make a physical connection to a host that is specified in the configuration to verify that it exists and that the credentials that are specified in the configuration are valid.

This operation might need to connect to a resource, and, as such, might take some time. Do not invoke this operation too often, such as before every provisioning operation. The test operation is not intended to check that the connector is alive (that is, that its physical connection to the resource has not timed out).

You can invoke the test operation before a connector configuration has been validated.

Update

Updates (modifies or replaces) objects on a target resource.

Configuration properties
Property Type Default Encrypted(1) Required(2)

password

String

No

The connection properties that will be sent to our JDBC driver when establishing new connections. Format of the string must be [propertyName=property;]* NOTE - The "user" and "password" properties will be passed explicitly, so they do not need to be included here. The default value is null.

propagateInterruptState

boolean

false

No

Set this to true to propagate the interrupt state for a thread that has been interrupted (not clearing the interrupt state). Default value is false for backwards compatibility.

useDisposableConnectionFacade

boolean

true

No

Set this to true if you wish to put a facade on your connection so that it cannot be reused after it has been closed. This prevents a thread holding on to a reference of a connection it has already called closed on, to execute queries on it.

defaultCatalog

String

null

No

The default catalog of connections created by this pool.

validationInterval

long

3000

No

avoid excess validation, only run validation at most at this frequency - time in milliseconds. If a connection is due for validation, but has been validated previously within this interval, it will not be validated again. The default value is 30000 (30 seconds).

ignoreExceptionOnPreLoad

boolean

false

No

Flag whether ignore error of connection creation while initializing the pool. Set to true if you want to ignore error of connection creation while initializing the pool. Set to false if you want to fail the initialization of the pool by throwing exception.

jmxEnabled

boolean

true

No

Register the pool with JMX or not. The default value is true.

commitOnReturn

boolean

false

No

If autoCommit==false then the pool can complete the transaction by calling commit on the connection as it is returned to the pool If rollbackOnReturn==true then this attribute is ignored. Default value is false.

logAbandoned

boolean

false

No

Flag to log stack traces for application code which abandoned a Connection. Logging of abandoned Connections adds overhead for every Connection borrow because a stack trace has to be generated. The default value is false.

maxIdle

int

100

No

The maximum number of connections that should be kept in the pool at all times. Default value is maxActive:100 Idle connections are checked periodically (if enabled) and connections that been idle for longer than minEvictableIdleTimeMillis will be released. (also see testWhileIdle)

testWhileIdle

boolean

false

No

The indication of whether objects will be validated by the idle object evictor (if any). If an object fails to validate, it will be dropped from the pool. NOTE - for a true value to have any effect, the validationQuery parameter must be set to a non-null string. The default value is false and this property has to be set in order for the pool cleaner/test thread is to run (also see timeBetweenEvictionRunsMillis)

removeAbandoned

boolean

false

No

Flag to remove abandoned connections if they exceed the removeAbandonedTimeout. If set to true a connection is considered abandoned and eligible for removal if it has been in use longer than the removeAbandonedTimeout Setting this to true can recover db connections from applications that fail to close a connection. See also logAbandoned The default value is false.

abandonWhenPercentageFull

int

0

No

Connections that have been abandoned (timed out) wont get closed and reported up unless the number of connections in use are above the percentage defined by abandonWhenPercentageFull. The value should be between 0-100. The default value is 0, which implies that connections are eligible for closure as soon as removeAbandonedTimeout has been reached.

minIdle

int

10

No

The minimum number of established connections that should be kept in the pool at all times. The connection pool can shrink below this number if validation queries fail. Default value is derived from initialSize:10 (also see testWhileIdle)

defaultReadOnly

Boolean

null

No

The default read-only state of connections created by this pool. If not set then the setReadOnly method will not be called. (Some drivers dont support read only mode, ex: Informix)

maxWait

int

30000

No

The maximum number of milliseconds that the pool will wait (when there are no available connections) for a connection to be returned before throwing an exception. Default value is 30000 (30 seconds)

logValidationErrors

boolean

false

No

Set this to true to log errors during the validation phase to the log file. If set to true, errors will be logged as SEVERE. Default value is false for backwards compatibility.

driverClassName

String

null

No

The fully qualified Java class name of the JDBC driver to be used. The driver has to be accessible from the same classloader as tomcat-jdbc.jar

name

String

Tomcat Connection Pool[4-400402012]

No

Returns the name of the connection pool. By default a JVM unique random name is assigned.

useStatementFacade

boolean

true

No

If a statement proxy is set, wrap statements so that equals() and hashCode() methods can be called on closed statements.

initSQL

String

null

No

A custom query to be run when a connection is first created. The default value is null.

validationQueryTimeout

int

-1

No

The timeout in seconds before a connection validation queries fail. This works by calling java.test_sample.Statement.setQueryTimeout(seconds) on the statement that executes the validationQuery. The pool itself doesnt timeout the query, it is still up to the JDBC driver to enforce query timeouts. A value less than or equal to zero will disable this feature. The default value is -1.

validationQuery

String

null

No

The SQL query that will be used to validate connections from this pool before returning them to the caller. If specified, this query does not have to return any data, it just cant throw a SQLException. The default value is null. Example values are SELECT 1(mysql), select 1 from dual(oracle), SELECT 1(MS Sql Server)

rollbackOnReturn

boolean

false

No

If autoCommit==false then the pool can terminate the transaction by calling rollback on the connection as it is returned to the pool Default value is false.

alternateUsernameAllowed

boolean

false

No

By default, the jdbc-pool will ignore the DataSource.getConnection(username,password) call, and simply return a previously pooled connection under the globally configured properties username and password, for performance reasons. The pool can however be configured to allow use of different credentials each time a connection is requested. To enable the functionality described in the DataSource.getConnection(username,password) call, simply set the property alternateUsernameAllowed to true. Should you request a connection with the credentials user1/password1 and the connection was previously connected using different user2/password2, the connection will be closed, and reopened with the requested credentials. This way, the pool size is still managed on a global level, and not on a per schema level.

dataSourceJNDI

String

null

No

The JNDI name for a data source to be looked up in JNDI and then used to establish connections to the database. See the dataSource attribute. Default value is null

validatorClassName

String

null

No

The name of a class which implements the org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.Validator interface and provides a no-arg constructor (may be implicit). If specified, the class will be used to create a Validator instance which is then used instead of any validation query to validate connections. The default value is null. An example value is com.mycompany.project.SimpleValidator.

suspectTimeout

int

0

No

Timeout value in seconds. Similar to to the removeAbandonedTimeout value but instead of treating the connection as abandoned, and potentially closing the connection, this simply logs the warning if logAbandoned is set to true. If this value is equal or less than 0, no suspect checking will be performed. Suspect checking only takes place if the timeout value is larger than 0 and the connection was not abandoned or if abandon check is disabled. If a connection is suspect a WARN message gets logged and a JMX notification gets sent once.

useEquals

boolean

true

No

Set to true if you wish the ProxyConnection class to use String.equals and set to false when you wish to use == when comparing method names. This property does not apply to added interceptors as those are configured individually. The default value is true.

removeAbandonedTimeout

int

60

No

Timeout in seconds before an abandoned(in use) connection can be removed. The default value is 60 (60 seconds). The value should be set to the longest running query your applications might have.

defaultAutoCommit

Boolean

null

No

The default auto-commit state of connections created by this pool. If not set, default is JDBC driver default (If not set then the setAutoCommit method will not be called.)

testOnConnect

boolean

false

No

Validate the connection when connecting to the database for the first time. False by default. Set to true if you want to use the validationQuery as an init query.

jdbcInterceptors

String

null

No

A semicolon separated list of classnames extending org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.JdbcInterceptor class. See Configuring JDBC interceptors below for more detailed description of syntaz and examples. These interceptors will be inserted as an interceptor into the chain of operations on a java.test_sample.Connection object. The default value is null.

initialSize

int

10

No

The initial number of connections that are created when the pool is started. Default value is 10

defaultTransactionIsolation

int

-1

No

The default TransactionIsolation state of connections created by this pool. One of the following: NONE, READ_COMMITTED, READ_UNCOMMITTED, REPEATABLE_READ, SERIALIZABLE If not set, the method will not be called and it defaults to the JDBC driver.

numTestsPerEvictionRun

int

0

No

Property not used in tomcat-jdbc-pool.

url

String

null

No

The URL used to connect to the database.

testOnBorrow

boolean

false

No

The indication of whether objects will be validated before being borrowed from the pool. If the object fails to validate, it will be dropped from the pool, and we will attempt to borrow another. NOTE - for a true value to have any effect, the validationQuery parameter must be set to a non-null string. In order to have a more efficient validation, see validationInterval. Default value is false

fairQueue

boolean

true

No

Set to true if you wish that calls to getConnection should be treated fairly in a true FIFO fashion. This uses the org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.FairBlockingQueue implementation for the list of the idle connections. The default value is true. This flag is required when you want to use asynchronous connection retrieval. Setting this flag ensures that threads receive connections in the order they arrive. During performance tests, there is a very large difference in how locks and lock waiting is implemented. When fairQueue=true there is a decision making process based on what operating system the system is running. If the system is running on Linux (property os.name=Linux. To disable this Linux specific behavior and still use the fair queue, simply add the property org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.FairBlockingQueue.ignoreOS=true to your system properties before the connection pool classes are loaded.

accessToUnderlyingConnectionAllowed

boolean

true

No

Property not used. Access can be achieved by calling unwrap on the pooled connection. see javax.test_sample.DataSource interface, or call getConnection through reflection or cast the object as javax.test_sample.PooledConnection

maxAge

long

0

No

Time in milliseconds to keep this connection. When a connection is returned to the pool, the pool will check to see if the now - time-when-connected > maxAge has been reached, and if so, it closes the connection rather than returning it to the pool. The default value is 0, which implies that connections will be left open and no age check will be done upon returning the connection to the pool.

minEvictableIdleTimeMillis

int

60000

No

The minimum amount of time an object may sit idle in the pool before it is eligible for eviction. The default value is 60000 (60 seconds).

timeBetweenEvictionRunsMillis

int

5000

No

The number of milliseconds to sleep between runs of the idle connection validation/cleaner thread. This value should not be set under 1 second. It dictates how often we check for idle, abandoned connections, and how often we validate idle connections. The default value is 5000 (5 seconds).

testOnReturn

boolean

false

No

The indication of whether objects will be validated before being returned to the pool. NOTE - for a true value to have any effect, the validationQuery parameter must be set to a non-null string. The default value is false.

useLock

boolean

false

No

Use a lock when performing operations on the connection object. False by default. Set to true if you will use a separate background thread for idle and abandon checking (e.g. JMX clients). If the pool sweeper is enabled, a lock is used, regardless of this setting.

maxActive

int

100

No

The maximum number of active connections that can be allocated from this pool at the same time. The default value is 100

username

String

null

No

The connection username to be passed to our JDBC driver to establish a connection. Note that method DataSource.getConnection(username,password) by default will not use credentials passed into the method, but will use the ones configured here. See alternateUsernameAllowed property for more details.

(1) Whether the property value is considered confidential, and is therefore encrypted in IDM.

(2) A list of operations in this column indicates that the property is required for those operations.

ServiceNow connector

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

This connector lets you manage objects in the ServiceNow platform, integrating with ServiceNow’s REST API.

Before you start

The connector requires a ServiceNow instance with OAuth enabled. You might need to activate the OAuth plugin and set the OAuth activation property if OAuth is not yet enabled on your ServiceNow instance. For more information, see the ServiceNow documentation that corresponds to your ServiceNow version.

When Oauth is enabled, register an OAuth client application for the connection to IDM. Take note of the client_id and client_secret of the application, as you need these values when you configure the connector.

The connector configuration must include a ServiceNow user who has the following roles:

  • admin

  • rest_api_explorer

If you do not want to give complete admin rights to this user, you can create a new role that provides access to the following tables:

  • sys_user_has_role

  • sys_user_grmember

  • sys_user_delegate

  • sys_user_role

  • sys_user_group

  • core_company

  • cmn_department

  • cmn_cost_center

  • cmn_location

Configure the ServiceNow connector

Create a connector configuration using the admin UI:

  1. From the navigation bar, click Configure > Connectors.

  2. On the Connectors page, click New Connector.

  3. On the New Connector page, type a Connector Name.

  4. From the Connector Type drop-down list, select ServiceNow Connector - 1.5.20.15.

  5. Complete the Base Connector Details.

    instance (string)

    The ServiceNow instance URL; for example, example.service-now.com/.

    username (string)

    The name of a ServiceNow user with the admin and rest_api_explorer roles.

    password (string)

    The password of the ServiceNow user.

    clientID (string)

    The ID of your OAuth application.

    clientSecret (string)

    The client secret of your OAuth application.

  6. Click Save.

The following excerpt of connector configuration shows the required configurationProperties:

"configurationProperties" : {
    "instance" : "example.service-now.com/",
    "username" : "admin",
    "password" : {encrypted-password},
    "clientID" : "4xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxee",
    "clientSecret" : {encrypted-client-secret},
    "readSchema" : false
}

IDM encrypts the value of the password and clientSecret on startup.

When your connector is configured correctly, test its status by running the following command:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request POST \

      "bundleName": "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.servicenow-connector",
      "connectorName": "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.servicenow.ServiceNowConnector"
    },
    "displayName": "ServiceNow Connector",
    "objectTypes": [
      "delegate",
      "role",
      "__ALL__",
      "costCenter",
      "location",
      "company",
      "userHasGroup",
      "department",
      "user",
      "userHasRole",
      "group"
    ],
    "ok": true
  }
]

A status of "ok": true indicates that the ServiceNow connector can reach the configured resource provider.

Synchronize ServiceNow users

The ServiceNow connector supports bidirectional reconciliation and liveSync. To set up user synchronization, create a mapping between managed users and ServiceNow users.

This example assumes that you have configured a mapping. The example runs a reconciliation operation from ServiceNow to the managed user repository:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request POST \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/recon?_action=recon&mapping=systemServicenowUser_managedUser"
{
  "_id": "19755e51-5c3b-4362-b316-601856cb282c-13624",
  "state": "ACTIVE"
}

The following example runs a liveSync operation from ServiceNow to the managed user repository:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request POST \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/serviceNow/user?_action=liveSync"
{
  "connectorData": {
    "nativeType": "string",
    "syncToken": "2018-02-275 11:29:15"
  },
  "_rev": "0000000031285d9b",
  "_id": "SYSTEMSERVICENOWUSER"
}

The ServiceNow connector does not support the __ALL__ object type, so you must specify the object type (for example, User) in your liveSync operation.

Implementation specifics

For PATCH requests, a connector can potentially add, remove, or replace an attribute value. The ServiceNow connector does not implement the add or remove operations, so a PATCH request always replaces the entire attribute value with the new value.

OpenICF Interfaces Implemented by the ServiceNow Connector

The ServiceNow Connector implements the following OpenICF interfaces. For additional details, see ICF interfaces:

Create

Creates an object and its uid.

Delete

Deletes an object, referenced by its uid.

Schema

Describes the object types, operations, and options that the connector supports.

Script on Connector

Enables an application to run a script in the context of the connector.

Any script that runs on the connector has the following characteristics:

  • The script runs in the same execution environment as the connector and has access to all the classes to which the connector has access.

  • The script has access to a connector variable that is equivalent to an initialized instance of the connector. At a minimum, the script can access the connector configuration.

  • The script has access to any script arguments passed in by the application.

Search

Searches the target resource for all objects that match the specified object class and filter.

Sync

Polls the target resource for synchronization events, that is, native changes to objects on the target resource.

Test

Tests the connector configuration.

Testing a configuration checks all elements of the environment that are referred to by the configuration are available. For example, the connector might make a physical connection to a host that is specified in the configuration to verify that it exists and that the credentials that are specified in the configuration are valid.

This operation might need to connect to a resource, and, as such, might take some time. Do not invoke this operation too often, such as before every provisioning operation. The test operation is not intended to check that the connector is alive (that is, that its physical connection to the resource has not timed out).

You can invoke the test operation before a connector configuration has been validated.

Update

Updates (modifies or replaces) objects on a target resource.

(2) A list of operations in this column indicates that the property is required for those operations.

SSH connector

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

The SSH connector is an implementation of the Scripted Groovy Connector Toolkit, and is based on Java Secure Channel (JSch) and the Java implementation of the Expect library (Expect4j). This connector lets you interact with any SSH server, using Groovy scripts for the ICF operations.

The SSH connector is a poolable connector. This means that each connector instance is placed into a connection pool every time an action is completed. Subsequent actions can re-use connector instances from the connector pool. When a new connector instance is created, a new SSH client connection is created against the target SSH server. This SSH connection remains open as long as the connector instance is in the connection pool. Note that when a new action is performed, it finds the SSH connection in the exact state that it was left by the previous action.

The following image shows the relationship between SSH connector instances and SSH connections to the target server:

ssh-connector

Configure authentication to the SSH server

The SSH connector authenticates to the SSH server using either a login/password or a public/private key. The authentication method is specified in the authenticationType property in the connector configuration.

Authenticate with a login and password

To authenticate with a login and password, set the authenticationType to PASSWORD in the connector configuration file, and set a user and password. For example:

"configurationProperties" : {
    ...
    "authenticationType" : "PASSWORD",
    "user" : "<USERNAME>",
    "password" : "<PASSWORD>",
    ...

The password is encrypted when IDM loads the provisioner file.

Authenticate with a passphrase and private key

To authenticate with a secure certificate, generate a pair of public/private keys. Install the public key on the server side and the private key on the IDM host (where the connector is located). Set the authenticationType to PUBKEY in the connector configuration file and set the user, password, passphrase and privateKey properties. For example:

"configurationProperties" : {
    ...
    "authenticationType" : "PUBKEY",
    "user" : "<USERNAME>",
    "password" : "<PASSWORD>",
    "passphrase" : "secret",
    "privateKey" : ["-----BEGIN DSA PRIVATE KEY-----",
              "MIIBugIBAAKBgQDcB0ztVMCFptpJhqlLNZSdN/5cDL3S7aOVy52Ae7vwwCqQPCQr",
              "6NyUk+wtkDr07NlYd3sg7a9hbsEnlYChsuX+/WUIvbOKdMfeqcQ+jKK26YdkTCGj",
              "g86dBj9JYhobSHDoQ9ov31pYN/cfW5BAZwkm9TdpEjHPvMIaOxx7GPGKWwIVALbD",
              "CEuf1yJk9UB7v0dmJS7bKkbxAoGARcbAuDP4rB6MsgAAkVwf+1sHXEiGPShYWrVV",
              "qBgCZ/S45ELqUuiaN/1N/nip/Cc/0SBPKqwl7o50CUg9GH9kTAjmXiwmbkwvtUv+",
              "Xjn5vCHS0w18yc3rGwyr2wj+D9KtDLFJ8+T5HmsbPoDQ3mIZ9xPmRQuRFfVMd9wr",
              "DY0Rs7cCgYAxjGjWDSKThowsvOUCiE0ySz6tWggHH3LTrS4Mfh2t0tnbUfrXq2cw",
              "3CN+T6brgnpYbyX5XI17p859C+cw90MD8N6vvBxaN8QMDRFk+hHNUeSy8gXeem9x",
              "O0vdIxCgKvA4dh5nSVb5VGKENEGNEHRlYxEPzbqlPa/C/ZvzIvdKXQIUQMoidPFC",
              "n9z+mE2dAADnPf2m9vk=",
              "-----END DSA PRIVATE KEY-----"
             ],
    ...

The default value for the passphrase property is null. If you do not set a passphrase for the private key, the passphrase value must be equal to an empty string.

You must set a value for the password property, because the connector uses sudo to perform actions on the SSH server.

The private key (PEM certificate) must be defined as a JSON String array.

The values of the passphrase, password and privateKey are encrypted when IDM loads the provisioner file.

Configure the SSH connector

You cannot configure the SSHL connector through the UI. Configure the connector over REST, as described in Configure Connectors Over REST.

Alternatively, use the sample connector configuration (provisioner.openicf-ssh.json) in the /path/to/openidm/samples/ssh/conf/ directory. Copy the sample connector configuration to your project’s conf/ directory, and adjust it to match your environment.

Set the authentication properties, as described in Configure Authentication to the SSH Server. In addition, set at least the following properties:

host

Specify the hostname or IP address of the SSH server.

port

Set the port on which the SSH server listens.

Default: 22

user

The username of the account that connects to the SSH server.

This account must be able to ssh into the server, with the password provided in the next parameter.

password

The password of the account that is used to connect to the SSH server.

prompt

A string representing the remote SSH session prompt. This must be the exact prompt string, in the format username@target:, for example admin@myserver:~$ . Include any trailing spaces.

This list describes the required configuration properties of the SSH connector. You can generally use the default values. For a list of all the configuration properties, see [connector-reference:].

sudoCommand

A string that shows the full path to the sudo command, for example /usr/bin/sudo.

echoOff

If set to true (the default), the input command echo is disabled. If set to false, every character that is sent to the server is sent back to the client in the expect() call.

terminalType

Sets the terminal type to use for the session. The list of supported types is determined by your Linux/UNIX system. For more information, see the terminfo manual page (man terminfo).

Default: vt102

setLocale

If set to true, indicates that the default environment locale should be changed to the value of the locale property.

Default: false

locale

Sets the locale for the LC_ALL, LANG and LANGUAGE environment variables, if setLocale is set to true.

Default: en_US.utf8

connectionTimeout

Specifies the connection timeout to the remote server, in milliseconds.

Default: 5000

expectTimeout

Specifies the timeout used by the expect() calls in scripts, in milliseconds.

Default: 5000

authenticationType

Sets the authentication type, either PASSWORD or PUBKEY. For more information, see connector-reference:ssh.adoc#ssh-authentication.

Default: PASSWORD

throwOperationTimeoutException

If true, the connector throws an exception when the expectTimeout is reached for an operation. Otherwise, the operation fails silently.

Default: true

scriptRoots

The path to the Groovy scripts that will perform the ICF operations, relative to your IDM installation directory. The sample connector configuration expects the scripts in project-dir/tools, so this parameter is set to &{idm.instance.dir}/tools in the sample configuration.

classpath

The directory in which the compiler should look for compiled classes. The default classpath, if not is specified, is install-dir/lib.

*ScriptFileName

The name of the Groovy script that is used for each ICF operation.

OpenICF Interfaces Implemented by the SSH Connector

The SSH Connector implements the following OpenICF interfaces. For additional details, see ICF interfaces:

Authenticate

Provides simple authentication with two parameters, presumed to be a user name and password.

Create

Creates an object and its uid.

Delete

Deletes an object, referenced by its uid.

Resolve Username

Resolves an object by its username and returns the uid of the object.

Schema

Describes the object types, operations, and options that the connector supports.

Script on Connector

Enables an application to run a script in the context of the connector.

Any script that runs on the connector has the following characteristics:

  • The script runs in the same execution environment as the connector and has access to all the classes to which the connector has access.

  • The script has access to a connector variable that is equivalent to an initialized instance of the connector. At a minimum, the script can access the connector configuration.

  • The script has access to any script arguments passed in by the application.

Script on Resource

Runs a script on the target resource that is managed by this connector.

Search

SAP SuccessFactors connector

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

The SAP SuccessFactors connector enables you to manage and synchronize objects between SuccessFactors and the IDM managed user repository. These instructions assume you have a SuccessFactors administrator account and you have created an OAuth2 Client Application.

Before you start

Before you configure the connector, gather the following details:

Host

The SuccessFactors API hostname. For example, apisalesdemo2.successfactors.eu.

Client ID

The SuccessFactors API Key or client ID. To find this:

  1. Open your SuccessFactors administrator account.

  2. Open Manage OAuth2 Client Applications.

  3. Select your registered OAuth2 Client Application.

  4. Click View.

  5. Copy the API key.

User ID

The API User ID of the SuccessFactors user who authenticates to the REST server.

Private Key

A private key. To configure this, generate a key pair from the X.509 certificate and copy the value of the private key.

Company ID

The API Company ID of the admin user. This is specified in the SuccessFactors login URL.

Person Segments

SuccessFactors person segments; for example, EmpJob, EmpEmployment, PerPersonal.

Install the SuccessFactors connector

Download the connector .jar file from the ForgeRock BackStage download site.

  • If you are running the connector locally, place it in the /path/to/openidm/connectors directory, for example:

    mv ~/Downloads/successfactors-connector-1.5.20.15.jar /path/to/openidm/connectors/
  • If you are using a remote connector server (RCS), place it in the /path/to/openicf/connectors directory on the RCS.

Configure the SuccessFactors connector

Create a connector configuration using the admin UI:

  1. Select Configure > Connectors and click New Connector.

  2. Enter a Connector Name.

  3. Select SuccessFactors Connector - 1.5.20.15 as the Connector Type.

  4. Provide the Base Connector Details.

  5. Click Save.

When your connector is configured correctly, the connector displays as Active in the admin UI.

Alternatively, test that the configuration is correct by running the following command:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request POST \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/Successfactors?_action=test&prettyprint=true"
{
  "name" : "Successfactors",
  "enabled" : true,
  "config" : "config/provisioner.openicf/Successfactors",
  "connectorRef" : {
    "bundleVersion" : "[1.5.0.0,1.6.0.0)",
    "bundleName" : "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.successfactors-connector",
    "connectorName" : "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.successfactors.SuccessFactorsConnector"
  },
  "displayName" : "SuccessFactors Connector",
  "objectTypes" : [ "__GROUP__", "__PERSON__", "__ACCOUNT__", "__ALL__" ],
  "ok" : true
}

If the command returns "ok": true, your connector has been configured correctly, and can authenticate to the SuccessFactors system.

Use the SuccessFactors connector

Actions on accounts

You can perform the following actions on a SAP SuccessFactors account:

Create a SuccessFactors user

The following example creates a user with every available attribute:

curl \

"https://localhost:8443/openidm/system/Successfactors/__ACCOUNT__/BJENSEN?_prettyprint=true"
{
  "_id" : "BJENSEN",
  "userId" : "BJENSEN",
  ...
  "division" : "Engineering",
  "firstName" : "Barbara"
}
Reset a user’s password

The following example resets the password for a SuccessFactors user account:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--request PATCH \
--data '[{
  "operation": "replace",
  "field": "__PASSWORD__",
  "value": "__CHANGEME__"
}]'
"https://localhost:8443/openidm/system/successfactors/__ACCOUNT__/BJENSEN?_prettyprint=true"
{
  "_id" : "BJENSEN",
  "userId" : "BJENSEN",
  ...
}
The updated password is not included in the response object; however, the value is updated in the system.
Activate a user

The following example activates a user with the minimum required attributes:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request POST \
--data '{
  "username": "bjensen",
  "__ENABLE__": true,
  "firstName": "Barbara",
  "userId": "BJENSEN"
}'
"https://localhost:8443/openidm/system/successfactors/__ACCOUNT__/BJENSEN?prettyprint=true"
{
  "_id": "BJENSEN",
  "userId": "BJENSEN",
  ...
  "__ENABLE__": true
}
Deactivate a user account

The SuccessFactors connector does not support deleting accounts. To deactivate an unwanted account, set the account’s __ENABLE__ attribute value to false. A deactivated account remains in the SuccessFactors system and can still be queried by its ID, but cannot be accessed.

The following example deactivates a SuccessFactors account:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request POST \
--data '{
"username": "bjensen",
"__ENABLE__": false,
"firstName": "Barbara",
"userId": "BJENSEN"
}'
"https://localhost:8443/openidm/system/successfactors/__ACCOUNT__/BJENSEN?prettyprint=true"
{
  _id: "BJENSEN"
}
Assign a user to a group

The following example assigns a user to a group:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--header "if-Match:*" \
--request PUT \
--data '{
"__ENABLE__": true,
"__GROUP__": [{"groupId":1001}]
}'
"https://localhost:8443/openidm/system/successfactors/__ACCOUNT__/BJENSEN?prettyprint=true"
{
  "_id" : "BJENSEN",
  "userId" : "BJENSEN",
  "jobLevel" : "2",
  "__GROUP__" : [ {
    "groupId" : "1001",
    "groupName" : "Example Working Group"
  },
  ...
}

OpenICF Interfaces Implemented by the SuccessFactors Connector

The SuccessFactors Connector implements the following OpenICF interfaces. For additional details, see ICF interfaces:

Create

Creates an object and its uid.

Delete

Deletes an object, referenced by its uid.

Schema

Describes the object types, operations, and options that the connector supports.

Script on Connector

Enables an application to run a script in the context of the connector.

Any script that runs on the connector has the following characteristics:

  • The script runs in the same execution environment as the connector and has access to all the classes to which the connector has access.

  • The script has access to a connector variable that is equivalent to an initialized instance of the connector. At a minimum, the script can access the connector configuration.

  • The script has access to any script arguments passed in by the application.

Search

Searches the target resource for all objects that match the specified object class and filter.

Sync

Polls the target resource for synchronization events, that is, native changes to objects on the target resource.

Test

Tests the connector configuration.

Testing a configuration checks all elements of the environment that are referred to by the configuration are available. For example, the connector might make a physical connection to a host that is specified in the configuration to verify that it exists and that the credentials that are specified in the configuration are valid.

This operation might need to connect to a resource, and, as such, might take some time. Do not invoke this operation too often, such as before every provisioning operation. The test operation is not intended to check that the connector is alive (that is, that its physical connection to the resource has not timed out).

You can invoke the test operation before a connector configuration has been validated.

Update

Updates (modifies or replaces) objects on a target resource.

SuccessFactors Connector Configuration

The SuccessFactors Connector has the following configurable properties:

Workday connector

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

Workday is a multi-tenant Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) application. The Workday connector lets you synchronize user accounts between IDM and Workday’s cloud-based HR system.

The connector supports reconciliation of users and organizations from Workday to an IDM repository, liveSync of users from Workday to IDM, and updating users in a Workday system.

To use the connector, you need a Workday instance with the required permissions and a set of credentials to access the instance, including the username, password, tenant name, and host name.

Install the Workday connector

Download the connector .jar file from the ForgeRock BackStage download site.

  • If you are running the connector locally, place it in the /path/to/openidm/connectors directory, for example:

    mv ~/Downloads/workday-connector-1.5.20.15.jar /path/to/openidm/connectors/
  • If you are using a remote connector server (RCS), place it in the /path/to/openicf/connectors directory on the RCS.

Configure the Workday connector

Create a connector configuration using the admin UI:

  1. From the navigation bar, click Configure > Connectors.

  2. On the Connectors page, click New Connector.

  3. On the New Connector page, type a Connector Name.

  4. From the Connector Type drop-down list, select Workday Connector - 1.5.20.15.

  5. Complete the Base Connector Details.

  6. Click Save.

Alternatively, copy the sample configuration file /path/to/openidm/samples/example-configurations/provisioners/provisioner.openicf-workday.json to your project’s conf/ directory, and set enabled to true. Edit the configurationProperties to specify the connection to the Workday instance, for example:

"configurationProperties" : {
    "hostname" : "example.workday.net",
    "tenant" : "example-tenant",
    "username" : "admin",
    "password" : "Passw0rd",
    ...
}

Set at least the following properties:

hostname

The fully qualified name of the Workday instance. The connector uses the hostname to construct the endpoint URL.

tenant

The tenant to which you are connecting. The connector uses the tenant name to construct the endpoint URL, and the complete username (in the form username@tenant).

username

The username used to log in to the Workday instance. Do not specify the complete username including the tenant. The connector constructs the complete username.

password

The password used to log in to the Workday instance.

connectionTimeout

The timeout (in milliseconds) that the connector should wait for a request to be sent to the Workday instance. The default timeout is 60000ms or one minute. Requests that take longer than a minute throw an exception.

receiveTimeout

The timeout (in milliseconds) that the connector waits to receive a response. The default timeout is 60000ms or one minute. Because the Workday can be slow, and the amount of information returned can be very large, you should set this parameter carefully to avoid unnecessary timeouts.

Check that the connector is retrieving the exact data that you need.

The configurationProperties also specify the data that the connector should retrieve with a number of boolean include…​ and exclude…​ properties. These properties can be divided as follows:

Worker types

By default, all worker types are retrieved. Use any the following settings to exclude specific worker types:

  • excludeContingentWorkers - exclude contingent workers from query results, false by default.

  • excludeEmployees - exclude regular employees from query results, false by default.

  • excludeInactiveWorkers - exclude inactive workers from query results, false by default.

Specific worker data

These parameters specify the properties to return for every included worker type. For performance reasons, set all of these to false initially, and then include only the necessary properties.

Properties List
  • includeWorkerDocuments

  • includeDevelopmentItems

  • includeRoles

  • includeQualifications

  • includeTransactionLogData

  • includeCareer

  • includeContingentWorkerTaxAuthorityFormInformation

  • includeUserAccount

  • includeFeedbackReceived

  • includeEmployeeReview

  • includeManagementChainData

  • includeOrganizations

  • includePhoto

  • includeRelatedPersons

  • includeBenefitEligibility

  • includeTalentAssessment

  • includeBenefitEnrollments

  • includeCompensation

Specific organizational data

Included in the data of each worker is the organization to which the user belongs. If you have set includeOrganizations to true, you can specify the organizational data that should be excluded from the query response. By default, all organizational data is included. To exclude data from a response, set its corresponding property to true. For performance reasons, set all of these to true initially, and then include only the necessary properties.

Properties List
  • excludeCompanies

  • excludeBusinessUnits

  • excludeCustomOrganizations

  • excludeMatrixOrganizations

  • excludeGiftHierarchies

  • excludeCostCenterHierarchies

  • excludeGrants

  • excludeProgramHierarchies

  • excludeFunds

  • excludeGrantHierarchies

For information about all the configurable properties for this connector, see Workday Connector Configuration.

Test the Workday connector

When your connector is configured correctly, test its status by running the following command:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request POST \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system?_action=test"
[
  {
    "name": "workday",
    "enabled": true,
    "config": "config/provisioner.openicf/workday",
    "connectorRef": {
      "bundleVersion": "[1.5.0.0,1.6.0.0)",
      "bundleName": "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.workday-connector",
      "connectorName": "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.workday.WorkdayConnector"
    },
    "displayName": "Workday Connector",
    "objectTypes": [
      "employee",
      "__ALL__"
    ],
    "ok": true
  }
]

A status of "ok": true indicates that the connector can contact the Workday instance.

To retrieve the workers in the Workday system, run the following command:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request GET \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/workday/employee?_queryId=query-all-ids"
{
  "result": [
    {
      "_id": "3aa5550b7fe348b98d7b5741afc65534",
      "employeeID": "21001"
    },
    {
      "_id": "0e44c92412d34b01ace61e80a47aaf6d",
      "employeeID": "21002"
    },
    {
      "_id": "3895af7993ff4c509cbea2e1817172e0",
      "employeeID": "21003"
    },
    ...
  ]
}

The first time the connector retrieves the employees from the Workday system, you might see the following warning in the console, which you can safely ignore:

WARNING: Default key managers cannot be initialized: Invalid keystore format
java.io.IOException: Invalid keystore format

To retrieve a specific user, include the user’s ID in the URL. For example:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request GET \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/workday/employee/3aa5550b7fe348b98d7b5741afc65534"

Reconcile users from Workday to IDM

To reconcile users from Workday to IDM, set up a mapping between Workday and IDM managed users.

When you have created a mapping, run reconciliation using the admin UI or with a REST call similar to the following:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request POST \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/recon?_action=recon&mapping=systemWorkdayEmployee_managedUser&waitForCompletion=true"
{
  "_id": "db2bc7f4-e9a8-4315-9dd1-e2cdcd85ae6e-33099",
  "state": "SUCCESS"
}

Update users in the Workday system

The connector supports updates to system users only for the following properties:

  • Account credentials (username and password)

  • email

  • mobile (telephone number)

The following command updates a user’s mobile number:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--header "Content-type: application/json" \
--request PATCH \
--data '[
  {
    "operation": "replace",
    "field": "mobile",
    "value": "+1 (415) 859-4366"
  }
]' \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/workday/employee/3aa5550b7fe348b98d7b5741afc65534"

Implementation specifics

For PATCH requests, a connector can potentially add, remove, or replace an attribute value. The Workday connector does not implement the add or remove operations, so a PATCH request always replaces the entire attribute value with the new value.

OpenICF Interfaces Implemented by the Workday Connector

The Workday Connector implements the following OpenICF interfaces. For additional details, see ICF interfaces:

Describes the object types, operations, and options that the connector supports.

Script on Connector

Enables an application to run a script in the context of the connector.

Any script that runs on the connector has the following characteristics:

  • The script runs in the same execution environment as the connector and has access to all the classes to which the connector has access.

  • The script has access to a connector variable that is equivalent to an initialized instance of the connector. At a minimum, the script can access the connector configuration.

  • The script has access to any script arguments passed in by the application.

Search

Searches the target resource for all objects that match the specified object class and filter.

Sync

Polls the target resource for synchronization events, that is, native changes to objects on the target resource.

Test

Tests the connector configuration.

Testing a configuration checks all elements of the environment that are referred to by the configuration are available. For example, the connector might make a physical connection to a host that is specified in the configuration to verify that it exists and that the credentials that are specified in the configuration are valid.

This operation might need to connect to a resource, and, as such, might take some time. Do not invoke this operation too often, such as before every provisioning operation. The test operation is not intended to check that the connector is alive (that is, that its physical connection to the resource has not timed out).

You can invoke the test operation before a connector configuration has been validated.

Update

Updates (modifies or replaces) objects on a target resource.

Configure connectors

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

You configure connectors through the ICF provisioner service, and access them over REST at the openidm/conf endpoint.

Connector configurations are stored in files in your project’s conf/ directory, and are named project-dir/conf/provisioner.openicf-name where name corresponds to the name of the connector. If you are creating your own connector configuration files, do not include additional dash characters (-) in the connector name, as this can cause problems with the OSGi parser. For example, provisioner.openicf-hrdb.json is acceptable, and provisioner.openicf-hr-db.json is not.

You can create a connector configuration in the following ways:

Sample provisioner files

A number of sample connector configurations are available in the openidm/samples/example-configurations/provisioners directory. To use these connector configurations, edit the configuration files as required, and copy them to your project’s conf directory.

The following example shows a high-level connector configuration. The individual configuration objects are described in detail later in this section:

{
  "connectorRef"              : connector-ref-object,
  "producerBufferSize"        : integer,
  "connectorPoolingSupported" : boolean, true/false,
  "poolConfigOption"          : pool-config-option-object,
  "operationTimeout"          : operation-timeout-object,
  "configurationProperties"   : configuration-properties-object,
  "syncFailureHandler"        : sync-failure-handler-object,
  "resultsHandlerConfig"      : results-handler-config-object,
  "excludeUnmodified"         : boolean, true/false,
  "objectTypes"               : object-types-object,
  "operationOptions"          : operation-options-object
}

Configure connectors with the admin UI

To configure connectors in the admin UI, select Configure > Connector.

If your project has an existing connector configuration (for example, if you have started IDM with one of the sample configurations), click on that connector to edit it. If you’re starting with a new project, click New Connector to configure a new connector.

The connectors displayed on the Connectors page reflect the provisioner files that are in your project’s conf/ directory. To add a new connector configuration, you can also copy a provisioner file from the /path/to/openidm/samples/example-configurations/provisioners directory, then edit it to fit your deployment.

When you add a new connector, the Connector Type dropdown list reflects the connector .jar files that are in the /path/to/openidm/connectors directory. You can have more than one connector configuration for a specific connector type. For example, you might use the LDAP connector to set up two connector configurations—one to an Active Directory server and one to a ForgeRock Directory Services (DS) instance.

The Connector Types listed here do not include all supported connectors. The scripted connectors (such as scripted Groovy, scripted REST, scripted SQL, and PowerShell) are not available in the list of connector types. In general, the scripted connectors require extensive custom configuration changes, and a single HTML template to cover all possible permutations is not feasible. To add a scripted connector configuration, configure the connector over REST.

Alternatively, copy one of the example provisioner files in /path/to/openidm/samples/example-configurations/provisioners into your project’s conf directory and edit the configuration directly in the provisioner file.

Additional connectors are available from the ForgeRock BackStage download site site. For connectors that are not bundled with IDM, the UI displays a generic template, based on the schema provided by the connector.

The tabs on the connector configuration screens correspond to the objects and properties described in the remaining sections of this chapter.

When a connector configuration is complete, and IDM is able to establish the connection to the remote resource, the Data tab displays the objects in that remote resource. For example, the following image shows the contents of a connected LDAP resource:

connector-config-data
Figure 2. Data Tab For a Connected LDAP Resource

You can search through these objects with either the Basic Filter shown in each column, or the Advanced Filter option, which lets you build many of the queries shown in Define and call data queries.

Configure connectors over REST

To create a new connector configuration over REST, follow these steps:

  1. List the available connectors.

  2. Generate the core configuration.

  3. Add the target system properties, then connect to the target system to generate the final configuration.

  4. Submit the final configuration to IDM.

This procedure walks you through creating a connector configuration over REST, for a CSV file connector.

  1. List the available connectors.

    In a default IDM installation, the available connectors are installed in the openidm/connectors directory. If you are using a remote connector server, additional connectors might be available in the openicf/connectors directory on the remote server.

    Run the following command to list the available connectors:

    curl \
    --header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
    --header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
    --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
    --request POST \
    "http://localhost:8080/openidm/system?_action=availableConnectors"

    On a default IDM installation, this command returns the following output:

        }
      ]
    }
  2. Generate a core configuration.

    Locate the connector to configure from the previous step’s output, and copy the JSON object to insert as the value of the "connectorRef" property in the data payload of the following command.

    This example generates a core configuration for the CSV file connector:

    curl \
    --header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
    --header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
    --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
    --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
    --request POST \
    --data '{"connectorRef":
      {
        "systemType": "provisioner.openicf",
        "bundleName": "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.csvfile-connector",
        "connectorName": "org.forgerock.openicf.csvfile.CSVFileConnector",
        "displayName": "CSV File Connector",
        "bundleVersion": "1.5.20.15"
      }
    }' \
    "http://localhost:8080/openidm/system?_action=createCoreConfig"

    The command returns a connector configuration, similar to the following:

    {
      "connectorRef": {
        "systemType": "provisioner.openicf",
        "bundleName": "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.csvfile-connector",
        "connectorName": "org.forgerock.openicf.csvfile.CSVFileConnector",
        "displayName": "CSV File Connector",
        "bundleVersion": "1.5.20.15"
      },
      "poolConfigOption": {
        "maxObjects": 10,
        "maxIdle": 10,
        "maxWait": 150000,
        "minEvictableIdleTimeMillis": 120000,
        "minIdle": 1
      },
      "resultsHandlerConfig": {
        "enableNormalizingResultsHandler": false,
        "enableFilteredResultsHandler": false,
        "enableCaseInsensitiveFilter": false,
        "enableAttributesToGetSearchResultsHandler": true
      },
      "operationTimeout": {
        "CREATE": -1,
        "UPDATE": -1,
        "DELETE": -1,
        "TEST": -1,
        "SCRIPT_ON_CONNECTOR": -1,

        "RESOLVEUSERNAME": -1,
        "AUTHENTICATE": -1,

        "VALIDATE": -1,
        "SYNC": -1,
        "SCHEMA": -1
      },
      "configurationProperties": {
        "headerPassword": "password",
        "spaceReplacementString": "_",
        "csvFile": null,
        "newlineString": "\n",
        "headerUid": "uid",
        "quoteCharacter": "\"",
        "escapeCharacter": "\\",
        "fieldDelimiter": ",",
        "syncFileRetentionCount": 3
      }
    }
  3. Connect to the target system to generate the final configuration.

    The configuration returned in the previous step is not functional. It does not include the required configurationProperties that are specific to the target system (such as the host name and port number of the target system, or the csvFile for a CSV file connector). It also doesn’t include the complete list of objectTypes and operationOptions.

    To connect to the target system, add values for the required configurationProperties, and submit the updated configuration in the data payload of the following command.

    This example connects to the specified CSV file:

    curl \
    --header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
    --header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
    --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
    --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
    --request POST \
    --data '{
      "configurationProperties": {
        "headerPassword": "password",
        "spaceReplacementString": "_",
        "csvFile": "&{idm.instance.dir}/data/csvConnectorData.csv",
        "newlineString": "\n",
        "headerUid": "uid",
        "quoteCharacter": "\"",
        "fieldDelimiter": ",",
        "syncFileRetentionCount": 3
      },
      "connectorRef": {

        "displayName": "CSV File Connector",
        "bundleVersion": "1.5.20.15"
      },
      "poolConfigOption": {
        "maxObjects": 10,
        "maxIdle": 10,
        "maxWait": 150000,

        "SYNC": -1,
        "SCHEMA": -1
      }
    }' \
    "http://localhost:8080/openidm/system?_action=createFullConfig"
    The single quotes around the JSON object in the --data parameter prevent the command from being executed when a new line is encountered in the content. You can therefore include line feeds for readability.

    With this command, IDM connects to the target resource, and attempts to read the schema, if it is available. It then iterates through the schema objects and attributes, and creates JSON representations of the supported objects and operations. The command output includes the JSON payload that you submitted, along with the operationOptions and objectTypes.

    Because IDM produces a full property set for all attributes and all object types in the schema, the resulting configuration can be very large. For an LDAP server, for example, IDM can generate a configuration containing several tens of thousands of lines. It might be useful to reduce the schema on the external resource to a minimum before you run the createFullConfig command.
  4. When you have the final configuration, use a PUT request to add it to the IDM configuration, in the JSON payload of the following command:

    curl \
    --header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
    --header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
    --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
    --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
    --request PUT \
    --data '{complete-configuration}' \
    "http://localhost:8080/openidm/config/provisioner.openicf/connector-name"

    Alternatively, you can save the complete configuration in a file named provisioner.openicf-connector-name.json, and place the file in the conf directory of your project.

Connector reference properties

The following example shows a connector reference object:

"connectorRef" : {
    "bundleName"    : "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.csvfile-connector",
    "bundleVersion" : "[1.5.0.0,1.6.0.0)",
    "connectorName" : "org.forgerock.openicf.csvfile.CSVFileConnector",
    "connectorHostRef" : "csv"
}
bundleName

string, required

The ConnectorBundle-Name of the ICF connector.

bundleVersion

string, required

The ConnectorBundle-Version of the ICF connector. The value can be a single version (such as 1.4.0.0) or a range of versions, which lets you support multiple connector versions in a single project.

You can specify a range of versions as follows:

  • [1.1.0.0,1.4.0.0] indicates that all connector versions from 1.1 to 1.4, inclusive, are supported.

  • [1.1.0.0,1.4.0.0) indicates that all connector versions from 1.1 to 1.4, including 1.1 but excluding 1.4, are supported.

  • (1.1.0.0,1.4.0.0] indicates that all connector versions from 1.1 to 1.4, excluding 1.1 but including 1.4, are supported.

  • (1.1.0.0,1.4.0.0) indicates that all connector versions from 1.1 to 1.4, exclusive, are supported.

When a range of versions is specified, IDM uses the latest connector that is available within that range. If your project requires a specific connector version, you must explicitly state the version in your connector configuration file, or constrain the range to address only the version that you need.

connectorName

string, required

The connector implementation class name.

connectorHostRef

string, optional

If the connector runs remotely, the value of this field must match the name field of the RemoteConnectorServers object in the connector server configuration file (provisioner.openicf.connectorinfoprovider.json). For example:

...
    "remoteConnectorServers" :
        [
            {
                "name" : "dotnet",
                ...
            }
        ]
...

If the connector runs locally, the value of this field can be one of the following:

  • If the connector .jar is installed in openidm/connectors/ , the value must be "#LOCAL". This is currently the default, and recommended location.

  • If the connector .jar is installed in openidm/bundle/ (not recommended), the value must be "osgi:service/org.forgerock.openicf.framework.api.osgi.ConnectorManager".

Pool configuration

The poolConfigOption specifies the pool configuration for poolable connectors only (connectors that have "connectorPoolingSupported" : true). Non-poolable connectors ignore this parameter.

The following example shows a pool configuration option object for a poolable connector:

{
  "maxObjects"                 : 10,
  "maxIdle"                    : 10,
  "maxWait"                    : 150000,
  "minEvictableIdleTimeMillis" : 120000,
  "minIdle"                    : 1
}
maxObjects

The maximum number of idle and active instances of the connector.

maxIdle

The maximum number of idle instances of the connector.

maxWait

The maximum time, in milliseconds, that the pool waits for an object before timing out. A value of 0 means that there is no timeout.

minEvictableIdleTimeMillis

The maximum time, in milliseconds, that an object can be idle before it is removed. A value of 0 means that there is no idle timeout.

minIdle

The minimum number of idle instances of the connector.

Operation timeouts

The operation timeout property enables you to configure timeout values per operation type. By default, no timeout is configured for any operation type. A sample configuration follows:

{
  "CREATE"              : -1,
  "TEST"                : -1,
  "AUTHENTICATE"        : -1,
  "SEARCH"              : -1,
  "VALIDATE"            : -1,
  "GET"                 : -1,
  "UPDATE"              : -1,
  "DELETE"              : -1,
  "SCRIPT_ON_CONNECTOR" : -1,
  "SCRIPT_ON_RESOURCE"  : -1,
  "SYNC"                : -1,
  "SCHEMA"              : -1
}
operation-name

Timeout in milliseconds

A value of -1 disables the timeout.

Connection configuration

The configurationProperties object specifies the configuration for the connection between the connector and the resource, and is therefore resource-specific.

The following example shows a configuration properties object for the default CSV sample resource connector:

"configurationProperties" : {
    "csvFile" : "&{idm.instance.dir}/data/csvConnectorData.csv"
}
property

Individual properties depend on the type of connector.

Synchronization failure configuration

The syncFailureHandler object specifies what should happen if a liveSync operation reports a failure for an operation. The following example shows a synchronization failure configuration:

{
    "maxRetries" : 5,
    "postRetryAction" : "logged-ignore"
}
maxRetries

positive integer or -1, required

The number of attempts that IDM should make to process a failed modification. A value of zero indicates that failed modifications should not be reattempted. In this case, the post retry action is executed immediately when a liveSync operation fails. A value of -1 (or omitting the maxRetries property, or the entire syncFailureHandler object) indicates that failed modifications should be retried an infinite number of times. In this case, no post retry action is executed.

postRetryAction

string, required

The action that should be taken if the synchronization operation fails after the specified number of attempts. The post retry action can be one of the following:

  • logged-ignore - IDM ignores the failed modification, and logs its occurrence.

  • dead-letter-queue - IDM saves the details of the failed modification in a table in the repository (accessible over REST at repo/synchronisation/deadLetterQueue/provisioner-name).

  • script specifies a custom script that should be executed when the maximum number of retries has been reached.

For more information, see Configure the LiveSync Retry Policy.

Configure how results are handled

The resultsHandlerConfig object specifies how OpenICF returns results. These configuration properties do not apply to all connectors and depend on the interfaces that are implemented by each connector. For information about the interfaces that connectors support, see the Connector reference.

The following example shows a results handler configuration object:

"resultsHandlerConfig" : {
    "enableNormalizingResultsHandler" : true,
    "enableFilteredResultsHandler" : false,
    "enableCaseInsensitiveFilter" : false,
    "enableAttributesToGetSearchResultsHandler" : false
}
enableNormalizingResultsHandler

boolean, false by default

When this property is enabled, ICF normalizes returned attributes to ensure that they are filtered consistently. If the connector implements the attribute normalizer interface, enable the interface by setting this property to true. If the connector does not implement the attribute normalizer interface, the value of this property has no effect.

enableFilteredResultsHandler

boolean, false by default

Most connectors use the filtering and search capabilities of the remote connected system. In these cases, you can leave this property set to false. If the connector does not use the remote system’s filtering and search capabilities, you must set this property to true.

All the non-scripted connectors, except for the CSV connector, use the filtering mechanism of the remote system. In the case of the CSV connector, the remote resource has no filtering mechanism, so you must set enableFilteredResultsHandler to true. For the scripted connectors, the setting will depend on how you have implemented the connector.

enableCaseInsensitiveFilter

boolean, false by default

This property applies only if enableFilteredResultsHandler is set to true. The filtered results handler is case-sensitive by default. For example, a search for lastName = "Jensen" will not match a stored user with lastName : jensen. When the filtered results handler is enabled, you can use this property to enable case-insensitive filtering. If you leave this property set to false, searches on that resource will be case-sensitive.

enableAttributesToGetSearchResultsHandler

boolean, false by default

By default, IDM determines which attributes should be retrieved in a search. If you set this property to true, the ICF framework removes all attributes from the READ/QUERY response, except for those that are specifically requested. For performance reasons, you should set this property to false for local connectors and to true for remote connectors.

Specify which attributes are updated

The excludeUnmodified property determines which properties are updated during synchronization. When this property is set to true, synchronization operations update only the modified properties on a target resource, rather than the whole target object. The default behavior is to include all attributes. In the sample LDAP provisioner files provided with IDM, excludeUnmodified is set to true, so unmodified attributes are excluded during update operations.

Set the supported object types

The objectTypes configuration specifies the object types (user, group, account, and so on) that are supported by the connector. The object names that you define here determine how the object is accessed in the URI. For example:

system/systemName/objectType

This configuration is based on the JSON Schema with the extensions described in the following section.

Attribute names that start or end with __ are regarded as special attributes by OpenICF. The purpose of the special attributes in ICF is to enable someone who is developing a new connector to create a contract regarding how a property can be referenced, regardless of the application that is using the connector. In this way, the connector can map specific object information between an arbitrary application and the resource, without knowing how that information is referenced in the application.

These attributes have no specific meaning in the context of IDM, although some of the connectors that are bundled with IDM use these attributes. The generic LDAP connector, for example, can be used with ForgeRock Directory Services (DS), Active Directory, OpenLDAP, and other LDAP directories. Each of these directories might use a different attribute name to represent the same type of information. For example, Active Directory uses unicodePassword and DS uses userPassword to represent the same thing, a user’s password. The LDAP connector uses the special OpenICF __PASSWORD__ attribute to abstract that difference. In the same way, the LDAP connector maps the __NAME__ attribute to an LDAP dn.

The ICF __UID__ is a special case. The __UID__ must not be included in the IDM configuration or in any update or create operation. This attribute denotes the unique identity attribute of an object and IDM always maps it to the _id of the object.

The following excerpt shows the configuration of an account object type:

{
    "account" : {
        "$schema" : "http://json-schema.org/draft-03/schema",
        "id" : "__ACCOUNT__",
        "type" : "object",
        "nativeType" : "__ACCOUNT__",
        "absentIfEmpty" : false,
        "absentIfNull" : true,
        "properties" : {
            "name" : {
                "type" : "string",
                "nativeName" : "__NAME__",
                "nativeType" : "JAVA_TYPE_PRIMITIVE_LONG",
                "flags" : [
                    "NOT_CREATABLE",
                    "NOT_UPDATEABLE",
                    "NOT_READABLE",
                    "NOT_RETURNED_BY_DEFAULT"
                ]
            },
            "groups" : {
                "type" : "array",
                "items" : {
                    "type" : "string",
                    "nativeType" : "string"
                },
                "nativeName" : "__GROUPS__",
                "nativeType" : "string",
                "flags" : [
                    "NOT_RETURNED_BY_DEFAULT"
                ]
            },
            "givenName" : {
                "type" : "string",
                "nativeName" : "givenName",
                "nativeType" : "string"
            },
        }
    }
}

ICF supports an __ALL__ object type that ensures that objects of every type are included in a synchronization operation. The primary purpose of this object type is to prevent synchronization errors when multiple changes affect more than one object type.

For example, imagine a deployment synchronizing two external systems. On system A, the administrator creates a user, jdoe, then adds the user to a group, engineers. When these changes are synchronized to system B, if the __GROUPS__ object type is synchronized first, the synchronization will fail, because the group contains a user that does not yet exist on system B. Synchronizing the __ALL__ object type ensures that user jdoe is created on the external system before he is added to the group engineers.

The __ALL__ object type is assumed by default - you do not need to declare it in your provisioner configuration file. If it is not declared, the object type is named __ALL__. If you want to map a different name for this object type, declare it in your provisioner configuration. The following excerpt from a sample provisioner configuration uses the name allobjects:

"objectTypes": {
    "allobjects": {
        "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-03/schema",
        "id": "__ALL__",
        "type": "object",
        "nativeType": "__ALL__"
    },
    ...
}

A liveSync operation invoked with no object type assumes an object type of __ALL__. For example, the following call invokes a liveSync operation on all defined object types in an LDAP system:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request POST \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/ldap?_action=liveSync"

Using the __ALL__ object type requires a mechanism to ensure the order in which synchronization changes are processed. Servers that use the cn=changelog mechanism to order sync changes, such as ForgeRock Directory Services (DS), Oracle DSEE, and the legacy Sun Directory Server, cannot use the __ALL__ object type by default. Such servers must be forced to use timestamps to order their sync changes. For these LDAP server types, set useTimestampsForSync to true in the provisioner configuration.

LDAP servers that use timestamps rather than change logs (such as Active Directory GCs and OpenLDAP) can use the __ALL__ object type without any additional configuration. Active Directory and Active Directory LDS, which use Update Sequence Numbers, can also use the __ALL__ object type without additional configuration.

Add objects and properties through the UI

To add object types and properties to a connector configuration by using the admin UI, select Configure > Connectors. Select the connector that you want to change, then select the Object Types tab.

In the case of the LDAP connector, the connector reads the schema from the remote resource to determine the object types and properties that can be added to its configuration. When you select one of these object types, you can think of it as a template. Edit the basic object type, as required, to suit your deployment.

To add a property to an object type, select the Edit icon next to the object type, then select Add Property.

Specify object types on the external resource

At the object level, the nativeType property refers to an object type supported by a connector or external resource. For example, an LDAP connector might have object types such as __ACCOUNT__ and __GROUP__.

nativeType

string, optional

The native ICF object type.

The value of this property must be an object type supported by the resource or the connector.

Behavior for empty attributes

The absentIfEmpty and absentIfNull object class properties enable you to specify how attributes are handled during synchronization if their values are null (for single-valued attributes) or empty (for multi-valued attributes). You can set these properties per object type.

By default, these properties are set as follows:

"absentIfEmpty" : false

Multi-valued attributes whose values are empty are included in the resource response during synchronization.

"absentIfNull" : true

Single-valued attributes whose values are null are removed from the resource response during synchronization.

Specify attribute types on the external resource

At the property level, nativeType refers to the data type of an attribute on the external resource.

nativeType

string, optional

The native ICF attribute type.

The following native types are supported:

JAVA_TYPE_BIGDECIMAL
JAVA_TYPE_BIGINTEGER
JAVA_TYPE_BYTE
JAVA_TYPE_BYTE_ARRAY
JAVA_TYPE_CHAR
JAVA_TYPE_CHARACTER
JAVA_TYPE_DATE
JAVA_TYPE_DOUBLE
JAVA_TYPE_FILE
JAVA_TYPE_FLOAT
JAVA_TYPE_GUARDEDBYTEARRAY
JAVA_TYPE_GUARDEDSTRING
JAVA_TYPE_INT
JAVA_TYPE_INTEGER
JAVA_TYPE_LONG
JAVA_TYPE_OBJECT
JAVA_TYPE_PRIMITIVE_BOOLEAN
JAVA_TYPE_PRIMITIVE_BYTE
JAVA_TYPE_PRIMITIVE_DOUBLE
JAVA_TYPE_PRIMITIVE_FLOAT
JAVA_TYPE_PRIMITIVE_LONG
JAVA_TYPE_STRING
  • IDM only handles JSON primitive types (boolean, map, list, number, and string). You must encode any non-JSON primitive types so that they can be stored as JSON.

    As a general rule, your connector configurations should always map the property type on the external resource (nativeType) to a supported JSON primitive type in IDM. If you are synchronizing pre-hashed passwords, set the nativeType to a JAVA_TYPE_BYTE_ARRAY, and the IDM type to a string, for example:

    ...
        "userPassword" : {
            "type" : "string",
            "nativeName" : "userPassword",
            "nativeType" : "JAVA_TYPE_BYTE_ARRAY"
        },
    ...

    With this configuration, when a userPassword is read from the remote system, it is returned as a Byte[] by the connector. It is then converted to a String (Base64-encoded Byte[]) by IDM.

    Alternatively, you can make sure that that any non-JSON primitive types returned by your connector are appropriately transformed into an encoded string value in your mapping. For example:

    {
        "source": "password",
        "target": "password",
        "transform": {
            "type": "text/javascript",
            "source": "source.toString();"
        }
    },
  • The JAVA_TYPE_DATE property is deprecated. Functionality may be removed in a future release. This type is an alias for string. Any dates with this type should be formatted according to ISO 8601.

nativeName

string, optional

The native ICF attribute name.

flags

string, optional

The native ICF attribute flags. ICF supports the following attribute flags:

MULTIVALUED

The property can be multivalued.

For multi-valued properties, if the property value type is anything other than a string, you must include an items property that declares the data type.

The following example shows the entries property of the authentication object in a provisioner file. The entries property is multi-valued, and its elements are of type object:

"authentication" : {
    ...
    "properties" : {
        ...
        "entries" : {
            "type" : "object",
            "required" : false,
            "nativeName" : "entries",
            "nativeType" : "object",
                "items" : {
                    "type" : "object"
                },
            "flags" : [
                "MULTIVALUED"
            ]
        },
        ...
    },
    ...
}
When comparing multi-valued properties across systems, the order of the values is important. Two properties with the same values, but in different orders, will be seen as a change during reconciliation, regardless of whether the value has actually changed.
NOT_CREATABLE, NOT_READABLE, NOT_UPDATEABLE

In some cases, the connector might not support manipulating an attribute because the attribute can only be changed directly on the remote system. For example, if the name attribute of an account can only be created by Active Directory, and never changed by IDM, you would add NOT_CREATABLE and NOT_UPDATEABLE to the provisioner configuration for that attribute.

NOT_RETURNED_BY_DEFAULT

Some attributes, such as LDAP groups or other calculated attributes, can be expensive to read. To avoid returning these attributes in a default read of the object, unless they are explicitly requested, add the NOT_RETURNED_BY_DEFAULT flag to the provisioner configuration for that attribute.

You can also use this flag to prevent properties from being read by default during a synchronization operation. To synchronize changes to a target object, IDM performs an UPDATE rather than a PATCH. This causes all attributes that are mapped from the source to the target to be modified when the synchronization is processed (rather than only those attributes that have changed). Although the value of a property might not change, the property still registers an update. This behavior can be problematic for properties such as the password, which might have restrictions on updating with a similar value. To prevent such properties from being updated during synchronization, set the NOT_RETURNED_BY_DEFAULT flag, which effectively prevents the property from being read from the source during the synchronization. For example:

"__PASSWORD__" : {
    "type" : "string",
    "nativeName" : "__PASSWORD__",
    "nativeType" : "JAVA_TYPE_GUARDEDSTRING",
    "flags" : [
        "NOT_RETURNED_BY_DEFAULT"
    ],
    "runAsUser" : true
}

You can configure connectors to enable provisioning of any arbitrary property. For example, the following property definitions would enable you to provision image files, used as avatars, to account objects in a system resource. The first definition would work for a single photo encoded as a base64 string. The second definition would work for multiple photos encoded in the same way:

"attributeByteArray" : {
    "type" : "string",
    "nativeName" : "attributeByteArray",
    "nativeType" : "JAVA_TYPE_BYTE_ARRAY"
},
"attributeByteArrayMultivalue": {
    "type": "array",
    "items": {
        "type": "string",
        "nativeType": "JAVA_TYPE_BYTE_ARRAY"
    },
    "nativeName": "attributeByteArrayMultivalue"
},

Do not use the dash character ( - ) in property names, like last-name. Dashes in names make JavaScript syntax more complex. If you cannot avoid the dash, write source['last-name'] instead of source.last-name in your JavaScript scripts.

Configure operation options

The operationOptions object enables you to deny specific operations on a resource. For example, you can use this configuration object to deny CREATE and DELETE operations on a read-only resource to avoid IDM accidentally updating the resource during a synchronization operation.

The following example defines the options for the "SYNC" operation:

"operationOptions" : {
    "SYNC" : {
        "denied" : true,
        "onDeny" : "DO_NOTHING",
        "objectFeatures" : {
            "__ACCOUNT__" : {
                "denied" : true,
                "onDeny" : "THROW_EXCEPTION",
                "operationOptionInfo" : {
                    "$schema" : "http://json-schema.org/draft-03/schema",
                    "type" : "object",
                    "properties" : {
                        "_OperationOption-float" : {
                            "type" : "number",
                            "nativeType" : "JAVA_TYPE_PRIMITIVE_FLOAT"
                        }
                    }
                }
            },
            "__GROUP__" : {
                "denied" : false,
                "onDeny" : "DO_NOTHING"
            }
        }
    },
    ...
}

The ICF Framework supports the following operations:

  • AUTHENTICATE

  • CREATE

  • DELETE

  • GET

  • RESOLVEUSERNAME

  • SCHEMA

  • SCRIPT_ON_CONNECTOR

  • SCRIPT_ON_RESOURCE

  • SEARCH

  • SYNC

  • TEST

  • UPDATE

  • VALIDATE

For detailed information on these operations, see the ICF API documentation.

The operationOptions object has the following configurable properties:

denied

boolean, optional

This property prevents operation execution if the value is true.

onDeny

string, optional

If denied is true, then the service uses this value. Default value: DO_NOTHING.

  • DO_NOTHING: On operation the service does nothing.

  • THROW_EXCEPTION: On operation the service throws a ForbiddenException exception.

Remote connectors

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

In most cases, IDM bundles the connectors required to connect to remote resources, and assumes that the connector will run on the same host as IDM. Sometimes, a connector cannot run on the same host as IDM. This might be for security or network reasons, or because IDM runs in the cloud while the resource is "on-prem". Connectors that do not run on the same host as IDM are called remote connectors. To run remotely, a connector needs a remote connector server (RCS), that runs on the same host as the connector. IDM accesses the connector through the RCS.

Running connectors remotely requires the following high-level steps:

  1. Install an RCS (either .NET or Java) on your on-prem server.

  2. Many connectors are bundled with the RCS itself. If the connector you want to use is not bundled with the RCS, download it from the ForgeRock BackStage download site, and put the .jar file or .dll file on your remote server, in the /path/to/openicf/connectors/ directory.

  3. Configure IDM to connect to the RCS.

For a list of supported RCS versions, and compatibility between versions, see IDM / ICF Compatibility Matrix.

Install a Remote Connector Server (RCS)

There are two types of RCS:

  • Java: Use the Java RCS if your Java connector needs to run in a different JVM to IDM. Unless the remote resource you are connecting to needs the .NET Powershell connector, this is the recommended RCS to use.

    The system on which you install the Java RCS must run JRE version 11, or later. Disk space and memory requirements will depend on the number of connectors you are using, and the volume of traffic through the RCS.

    Set Up a Java RCS
    Install a Java RCS on Unix/Linux
    1. Download and extract the Java RCS from the ForgeRock BackStage download site.

    2. Change to the openicf directory:

      cd /path/to/openicf
    3. Review the ConnectorServer.properties file in the /path/to/openicf/conf directory, and adjust it to suit your deployment. For a complete list of properties in that file, see RCS Properties.

      • In server mode, the RCS uses a connectorserver.key property to authenticate the connection. The default value of the key is a hashed value of the string changeit. You cannot set this property directly in the configuration file. To change its value, use the command ConnectorServer.sh /setKey. This example sets the key value to Passw0rd:

        /path/to/openicf/bin/ConnectorServer.sh /setKey Passw0rd
        Key has been successfully updated.

        In client mode, this is not necessary, and may be skipped. For more information about the differences between client mode and server mode, see Configure a Remote Connector Server (RCS).

    4. Start the Java RCS:

      /path/to/openicf/bin/ConnectorServer.sh /run

      The RCS is now running, and listening on port 8759, by default.

      Log files are available in the /path/to/openicf/logs directory.

      ls logs/
      Connector.log  ConnectorServer.log  ConnectorServerTrace.log
    5. To stop the Java RCS, press CTRL + C, or q in the terminal where you started the server.

    Install a Java RCS on Windows
    1. Download and extract the Java RCS from the ForgeRock BackStage download site.

    2. In a Command Prompt window, change to the openicf directory:

      C:\> cd C:\path\to\openicf
    3. Review the ConnectorServer.properties file in the \path\to\openicf\conf directory, and adjust it to suit your deployment. For a complete list of properties in that file, see RCS Propterties.

      • In server mode, the RCS uses a connectorserver.key property to authenticate the connection. The default value of the key is a hashed value of the string changeit. You cannot set this property directly in the configuration file. To change its value, use the ConnectorServer.bat /setKey command. This example sets the key value to Passw0rd:

        c:\path\to\openicf> bin\ConnectorServer.bat /setKey Passw0rd
        Key has been successfully updated.

        In client mode, this is not necessary, and may be skipped. For more information about the differences between client mode and server mode, see Configure a Remote Connector Server (RCS).

    4. You can either run the Java RCS as a Windows service, or start and stop it from the command line:

      1. To install the Java RCS as a Windows service, run the following command:

        c:\path\to\openicf> bin\ConnectorServer.bat /install

        If you install the RCS as a Windows service, you can use the Microsoft Services Console to start, stop, and restart the service. The Java Connector Service is named OpenICFConnectorServerJava.

        To uninstall the Java RCS as a Windows service, run the following command:

        c:\path\to\openicf> bin\ConnectorServer.bat /uninstall
      2. To start the Java RCS from the command line, enter the following command:

        c:\path\to\openicf> bin\ConnectorServer.bat /run
    5. The RCS is now running, and listening on port 8759, by default.

      Log files are available in the \path\to\openicf\logs directory.

    6. To stop the Java RCS, press ^ + C.

  • .NET: Use the .NET RCS if you are using the PowerShell connector to connect to an identity store. IDM communicates with the .NET RCS over the network, and the RCS runs the Powershell connector.

    Set Up a .NET RCS
    Set Up a .NET RCS

    The .NET RCS is distributed in two file formats:

    • openicf-version-dotnet.msi is a wizard that installs the RCS as a Windows service.

    • openicf-version-dotnet.zip is just a bundle of files required to run the RCS.

      1. Depending on how you want to install the RCS, download the corresponding file from the ForgeRock BackStage download site.

      2. Follow one of these procedures to install the RCS:

        Install the RCS as a Service
        1. Double-click the openicf-version-dotnet.msi installation file and complete the wizard.

          You must run the wizard as a user who has permission to start and stop a Windows service; otherwise, the service will not start.

          Select Typical as the Setup Type.

          When the wizard has completed, the RCS is installed as a Windows service.

        2. Open the Microsoft Services Console and make sure that the RCS is listed there.

          The name of the service is OpenICF Connector Server, by default.

          dotnet-service
        3. Make sure that the RCS is not currently running. If it is running, use the Microsoft Services Console to stop it.

        Unpack the RCS Zip
        1. If you do not want to run the RCS as a Windows service, download and extract the openicf-version-dotnet.zip file.

        2. If you have already extracted the .zip file and then decide to run the RCS as a service, install the service manually with the following command:

          .\ConnectorServerService.exe /install /serviceName service-name
      3. At the command prompt, change to the directory where the RCS was installed, for example:

        cd "c:\Program Files (x86)\ForgeRock\OpenICF"
      4. By default, the RCS outputs log messages to a file named connectorserver.log , in the \path\to\openicf directory. To change the location of the log file, set the initializeData parameter in the configuration file. The following example sets the log directory to C:\openicf\logs\connectorserver.log:

        <add name="file" type="System.Diagnostics.TextWriterTraceListener" initializeData="C:\openicf\logs\connectorserver.log" traceOutputOptions="DateTime">
            <filter type="System.Diagnostics.EventTypeFilter" initializeData="Information"/>
        </add>
      5. Run the ConnectorServerService /setKey command to set a secret key for the RCS. The key can be any string value. This example sets the secret key to Passw0rd:

        ConnectorServerService /setKey Passw0rd
        Key has been successfully updated.

        This key is used by clients connecting to the RCS. The key that you set here must also be set in the IDM RCS configuration.

      6. Edit the RCS configuration.

        The RCS configuration is saved in a file named ConnectorServerService.exe.Config (in the directory where the RCS is installed).

        Check and edit this file, as necessary, to reflect your installation. Specifically, verify that the baseAddress reflects the host and port on which the RCS is installed:

        <system.serviceModel>
          <services>
            <service name="Org.ForgeRock.OpenICF.Framework.Service.WcfServiceLibrary.WcfWebsocket">
              <host>
                <baseAddresses>
                  <add baseAddress="http://0.0.0.0:8759/openicf" />
                </baseAddresses>
              </host>
            </service>
          </services>
        </system.serviceModel>
        The baseAddress specifies the host and port on which the RCS listens, and is set to http://0.0.0.0:8759/openicf by default. If you set a host value other than the default 0.0.0.0, connections from all IP addresses other than the one specified are denied.
        If Windows Firewall is enabled, you must create an inbound port rule to open the TCP port for the RCS (8759 by default). If you do not open the TCP port, IDM won’t be able to contact the RCS. For more information, see the corresponding Microsoft documentation.
      7. Configure the RCS to use SSL:

        • Open a Powershell terminal as a user with administrator privileges, then change to the ICF installation directory:

          cd 'C:\Program Files (x86)\ForgeRock\OpenICF'
        • Use an existing CA certificate, or use the New-SelfSignedCertificate cmdlet to create a self-signed certificate:

          New-SelfSignedCertificate -DnsName "dotnet", "dotnet.example.com" -CertStoreLocation "cert:\LocalMachine\My"
          PSParentPath: Microsoft.PowerShell.Security\Certificate::LocalMachine\My
          
          Thumbprint                                Subject
          ----------                                -------
          770F531F14AF435E963E14AD82B70A47A4BFFBF2  CN=dotnet
        • Assign the certificate to the RCS:

          .\ConnectorServerService.exe /setCertificate
          Select certificate you want to use:
          Index  Issued To                Thumbprint
          -----  ---------                -------------------------
          
          0)  dotnet                    770F531F14AF435E963E14AD82B70A47A4BFFBF2 0
          Certificate Thumbprint has been successfully updated to 770F531F14AF435E963E14AD82B70A47A4BFFBF2.
        • Bind the certificate to the RCS port (8759 by default). To bind the certificate:

        • Use the New-Guid cmdlet to generate a new UUID:

          New-Guid
          Guid
          ----
          0352cf0f-2e7a-4aee-801d-7f27f8344c77
          • Enter the netsh http console and add the certificate thumbprint generated in the previous step, and the UUID that you have just generated:

            netsh
            netsh> http
            netsh http> add sslcert ipport=0.0.0.0:8759 certhash=770F5…​FFBF2 appid={0352c…​4c77}
            SSL Certificate successfully added
        • Change the RCS configuration (in the ConnectorServerService.exe.Config file) to use HTTPS and not HTTP.

          Change baseAddress="http…​" to baseAddress="https…​":

          <host>
            <baseAddresses>
              ...
              <add baseAddress="https://0.0.0.0:8759/openicf"/>
            </baseAddresses>
          </host>

          Change httpTransport to httpsTransport:

          <httpsTransport authenticationScheme="Basic" realm="OpenICF">
              <webSocketSettings transportUsage="Always" createNotificationOnConnection="true" .../>
          </httpsTransport>
        • Export the certificate:

          • Launch the certificate management MMC (certlm.msc).

          • Right-click the dotnet certificate, and select All Tasks > Export to launch the Certificate Export Wizard.

          • Select Next > No, do not export the private key > DER encoded binary X.509 (.CER) > Next.

          • Save the file in an accessible location (for example, C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\dotnet.cer), and click Finish.

        • Import the certificate into the IDM truststore:

          • Transfer the certificate from the Windows machine to the machine that’s running IDM.

          • Change to the openidm/security directory and use the Java keytool command to import the certificate:

            cd /path/to/openidm/security
            keytool -import -alias dotnet -file ~/Downloads/dotnet.cer -keystore ./truststore
            Enter keystore password: changeit

        • When you configure the RCS, remember to set "useSSL": true.

      8. Check the trace settings under system.diagnostics in the RCS configuration file:

        <system.diagnostics>
          <trace autoflush="true" indentsize="4">
            <listeners>
              <remove name="Default" />
              <add name="console" />
              <add name="file" />
            </listeners>
          </trace>
          <sources>
            <source name="ConnectorServer" switchName="switch1">
              <listeners>
                <remove name="Default" />
                <add name="file" />
              </listeners>
            </source>
          </sources>
          <switches>
            <add name="switch1" value="Information" />
          </switches>
          <sharedListeners>
            <add name="console" type="System.Diagnostics.ConsoleTraceListener" />
            <add name="file" type="System.Diagnostics.TextWriterTraceListener"
                 initializeData="logs\ConnectorServerService.log"
                 traceOutputOptions="DateTime">
              <filter type="System.Diagnostics.EventTypeFilter" initializeData="Information" />
            </add>
          </sharedListeners>
        </system.diagnostics>

        The RCS uses the standard .NET trace mechanism. For more information about tracing options, see Microsoft’s .NET documentation for System.Diagnostics.

        The default trace settings are a good starting point. For less tracing, set the EventTypeFilter’s initializeData to Warning or Error. For very verbose logging, set the value to Verbose or All. The logging level has a direct effect on the RCS performance, so take care when setting this level.

      9. Start the .NET RCS in one of the following ways:

        1. Start the server as a Windows service, by using the Microsoft Services Console.

          Locate the RCS service (OpenICF connector server), and click Start the service or Restart the service.

          The service runs with the credentials of the "run as" user (System, by default).

        2. Start the server as a Windows service, by using the command line.

          In the Windows Command Prompt, run the following command:

          net start ConnectorServerService

          To stop the service, run the following command:

          net stop ConnectorServerService
        3. Start the server without using Windows services.

          In the Windows Command Prompt, change to the RCS installation directory. The default location is c:\> cd "c:\Program Files (x86)\ForgeRock\OpenICF".

          Start the server with the following command:

          ConnectorServerService.exe /run
          This command starts the RCS with the credentials of the current user. It does not start the server as a Windows service.

Both RCS types use the following configuration properties:

RCS Properties

This table shows the complete list of RCS configuration properties. Note that all properties are prefixed with connectorserver. in the configuration file. The prefixes are not shown here so that the table is easier to read:

Install Connector Dependencies

In most cases, ICF connectors come bundled with all third party libraries needed to run. In some cases, however, you’ll need to download certain libraries (for example, the Database Table connector needs the appropriate JDBC driver for the database you are targeting). For local connectors, place these libraries in the /path/to/openidm/lib/ directory. For remote connectors, place them in the /path/to/openicf/lib/ directory on the RCS.

The following table lists the connector dependencies and indicates which ones must be downloaded:

Dependencies for bundled connectors

Database Table Connector

No external dependencies. However, you must include the JDBC driver for the database that you are targeting in the /path/to/openidm/lib/ directory.

DocuSign Connector

lib/java-jwt-3.4.0.jar

PeopleSoft Connector

  • psft.jar

  • psjoa.jar

Configure a Remote Connector Server (RCS)

RCS runs in one of two modes:

Client mode

In client mode, RCS initiates the connection with a server. Run the RCS in client mode if your data store is protected by a firewall or DMZ.

The following diagram shows an RCS in client mode:

connector-server-client
Server mode

In server mode, RCS acts as the server, with IDM acting as a client. IDM initiates the connection to the RCS. Run the RCS in server mode if IDM can initiate the connection and has access through any firewalls.

The following diagram shows an RCS in server mode:

connector-server-server

This example shows how to retrieve the RCS types over REST:

Configure RCS in Client Mode

The RCS configuration will differ between server mode and client mode. See RCS Properties for a list of properties and the mode to which they apply.

To generate the core configuration, use the createConnectorServerCoreConfig action on the system endpoint. Include at least the RCS type (remoteConnectorClient) and the systemType in the JSON payload. The systemType is always provisioner.openicf, regardless of the RCS type:

Create a Core RCS Configuration (Client Mode)
curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--request POST \
--data '{
  "type": "remoteConnectorClient",
  "systemType": "provisioner.openicf"
}' \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system?_action=createConnectorServerCoreConfig"
{
  "displayName": "",
  "name": "",
  "enabled": true,
  "useSSL": false
}

IDM returns the basic configuration properties for an RCS in client mode. The configuration that is returned is not functional. It does not contain the required configuration property values, such as the name of the RCS.

Use the output returned in the previous example to create your complete RCS configuration. Specify at least the name of the RCS, and use a PUT request on the config endpoint. Note that this step creates an RCS configuration on IDM. The values of these properties must match the RCS configuration, specified in the ConnectorServer.properties file on the RCS:

Create a New RCS Configuration (Client Mode)
curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--request PUT \

}

Configure RCS in Server Mode

The RCS configuration will differ between server mode and client mode. See RCS Properties for a list of properties and the mode to which they apply.

To generate the core configuration, use the createConnectorServerCoreConfig action on the system endpoint. Include at least the RCS type (remoteConnectorServer) and the systemType in the JSON payload. The systemType is always provisioner.openicf, regardless of the RCS type:

Create a Core RCS Configuration (Server Mode)
curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--request POST \
--data '{
  "type": "remoteConnectorServer",
  "systemType": "provisioner.openicf"

  "housekeepingInterval": 600,
  "connectionGroupCheckInterval": 900,
  "pingPongInterval": 300,
  "key": "password",
  "webSocketConnections": 2
}

IDM returns the required configuration properties for an RCS in server mode. The configuration that is returned is not functional. It does not contain the specific property values, such as the host name and port of the RCS.

Use the output returned in the previous example to create your complete RCS configuration. Specify at least the host and port of the RCS, and use a PUT request on the config endpoint.

Configure Failover Between RCS Servers

For failover purposes, you can configure a group of RCSs, in either server or client mode. Failover is particularly important when you configure an RCS in client mode because IDM has no way of knowing whether the RCS is available.

To prevent the RCS from being a single point of failure, you can specify a list of RCS servers that the connector can target. To set up a failover configuration, you create either a remoteConnectorServersGroup or a remoteConnectorClientsGroup and list the RCS servers. The connector attempts to contact the first RCS in the list. If that RCS is down, it proceeds to the next RCS.

Configure Failover For RCS Servers in Server Mode

This example configures a remoteConnectorServersGroup that lists two remote RCS servers, on hosts remote-host-1 and remote-host-2. The RCS servers are listed by their name property. You can configure multiple groups and multiple servers per group.

First, generate the core configuration to obtain the required properties:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--request POST \
--data '{
  "type" : "remoteConnectorServersGroup",
  "systemType" : "provisioner.openicf"
}' \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system?_action=createConnectorServerCoreConfig"
{
   "displayName": "",
   "name": "",
   "serversList": [],
   "algorithm": "failover"
 }

Use the output returned in the previous example to create your RCS group configuration. Use a PUT request on the config endpoint:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--request PUT \
--data '{
  "_id": "provisioner.openicf.connectorinfoprovider",
  "connectorsLocation": "connectors",
  "enabled": true,
  "remoteConnectorServers": [
    {
      "type": "remoteConnectorServersGroup",
      "displayName": ".NET Failover Group",
      "name" : "dotnet-ha",
      "algorithm" : "failover",
      "serversList" : [
        {"name": "remote-host-1"},
        {"name": "remote-host-2"}
      ]
    }
  ]
}' \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/config/provisioner.openicf.connectorinfoprovider"
{
  "_id": "provisioner.openicf.connectorinfoprovider",
  "connectorsLocation": "connectors",
  "enabled": true,
  "remoteConnectorServers": [
    {
      "type": "remoteConnectorServersGroup",
      "displayName": ".NET Failover Group",
      "name": "dotnet-ha",
      "algorithm": "failover",
      "serversList": [
        {
          "name": "remote-host-1"
        },
        {
          "name": "remote-host-2"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

The algorithm can be either failover or roundrobin. If the algorithm is failover, requests are always sent to the first RCS in the list, unless it is unavailable; in which case, requests are sent to the next RCS in the list. If the algorithm is roundrobin, requests are distributed equally between the RCS servers in the list, in the order in which they are received.

Your connector configuration (provisioner.openicf-connector-name.json) references the RCS group, rather than a single RCS. For example, the following excerpt of a PowerShell connector configuration file references the dotnet-ha RCS group created in the previous example:

{
   "connectorRef" : {
     "bundleName" : "MsPowerShell.Connector",
     "connectorName" : "Org.ForgeRock.OpenICF.Connectors.MsPowerShell.MsPowerShellConnector",
     "connectorHostRef" : "dotnet-ha",
     "bundleVersion" : "[1.4.3.0,1.5.0.0)"
   },
   ...
 }
Configure Failover For RCS Servers in Client Mode

This example configures a remoteConnectorClientsGroup that lists two remote RCS servers, on hosts remote-host-1 and remote-host-2. The RCS servers are listed by their name property. You can configure multiple groups and multiple servers per group.

First, generate the core configuration to obtain the required properties:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--request POST \
--data '{
  "type" : "remoteConnectorClientsGroup",
  "systemType" : "provisioner.openicf"
}' \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system?_action=createConnectorServerCoreConfig"
{
   "displayName": "",
   "name": "",
   "serversList": [],
   "algorithm": "failover"
 }

Use the output returned in the previous example to create your RCS group configuration. Use a PUT request on the config endpoint:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--request PUT \
--data '{
  "_id": "provisioner.openicf.connectorinfoprovider",
  "connectorsLocation": "connectors",
  "enabled": true,
  "remoteConnectorClients": [
    {
      "type": "remoteConnectorClientsGroup",
      "displayName": ".NET Failover Group",
      "name" : "dotnet-ha",
      "algorithm" : "failover",
      "serversList" : [
        {"name": "remote-host-1"},
        {"name": "remote-host-2"}
      ]
    }
  ]
}' \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/config/provisioner.openicf.connectorinfoprovider"
{
  "_id": "provisioner.openicf.connectorinfoprovider",
  "connectorsLocation": "connectors",
  "enabled": true,
  "remoteConnectorClients": [
    {
      "type": "remoteConnectorClientsGroup",
      "displayName": ".NET Failover Group",
      "name": "dotnet-ha",
      "algorithm": "failover",
      "serversList": [
        {
          "name": "remote-host-1"
        },
        {
          "name": "remote-host-2"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

The algorithm can be either failover or roundrobin. If the algorithm is failover, requests are always sent to the first RCS in the list, unless it is unavailable; in which case, requests are sent to the next RCS in the list. If the algorithm is roundrobin, requests are distributed equally between the RCS servers in the list, in the order in which they are received.

Your connector configuration (provisioner.openicf-connector-name.json) references the RCS group, rather than a single RCS. For example, the following excerpt of a PowerShell connector configuration file references the dotnet-ha RCS group created in the previous example:

{
   "connectorRef" : {
     "bundleName" : "MsPowerShell.Connector",
     "connectorName" : "Org.ForgeRock.OpenICF.Connectors.MsPowerShell.MsPowerShellConnector",
     "connectorHostRef" : "dotnet-ha",
     "bundleVersion" : "[1.4.3.0,1.5.0.0)"
   },
   ...
 }

Secure the Connection to the RCS With SSL

The SSL configuration for an RCS depends on whether you are running the RCS in server mode or in client mode:

  • In server mode, IDM initiates the connection to the RCS.

    The RCS needs a public/private key pair and a certificate (either self-signed or CA-signed). The RCS sends its certificate to the client (IDM) during the SSL handshake.

    If you are using a CA-signed certificate, IDM will trace the certificate back to the root certificate. If you are using a self-signed certificate (or a certificate that depends on an unreachable issuer in the chain from the root certificate), you must import the certificate into the IDM truststore.

  • In client mode, the RCS initiates the connection to IDM. IDM sends its certificate during the SSL handshake. If you are using the IDM self-signed certificate, you must import the certificate into the RCS truststore.

    If you are using TLS Mutual Authentication, the RCS needs a public/private key pair and a certificate. IDM requests the certificate from the RCS during the SSL handshake.

Configure the RCS For SSL

On the RCS, edit the conf/ConnectorServer.properties file to specify a secure connection between IDM and the RCS:

RCS in server mode
  • Set connectorserver.useSSL=true.

  • Specify the RCS keystore and truststore. For example:

    connectorserver.trustStoreFile=security/truststore.pkcs12
    connectorserver.trustStoreType=PKCS12
    connectorserver.trustStorePass=changeit
    connectorserver.keyStoreFile=security/keyStore.pkcs12
    connectorserver.keyStoreType=PKCS12
    connectorserver.keyStorePass=changeit
    connectorserver.keyPass=changeit
RCS in client mode
  • Connection security is determined by the value of the connectorserver.url property. Use the wss protocol to establish a WebSocket over an encrypted TLS connection; for example, wss://my-tenant.forgeblocks.com/openicf.

    The connectorserver.useSSL property is not used in client mode.

  • Specify the RCS keystore and truststore. For example:

    connectorserver.trustStoreFile=security/truststore.pkcs12
    connectorserver.trustStoreType=PKCS12
    connectorserver.trustStorePass=changeit
    connectorserver.keyStoreFile=security/keyStore.pkcs12
    connectorserver.keyStoreType=PKCS12
    connectorserver.keyStorePass=changeit
    connectorserver.keyPass=changeit
Configure IDM For SSL

In your conf/provisioner.openicf.connectorinfoprovider.json file, set "useSSL" : true.

Example: Use the CSV Connector to Reconcile Users in a Remote CSV Data Store

This example shows reconciliation of users stored in a CSV file on a remote machine. The remote Java RCS lets IDM synchronize its repository with the remote CSV file.

The example assumes that a remote Java RCS is installed and running on a host named remote-host.

The example uses the small CSV data set provided with the Getting Started sample (hr.csv). The CSV connector runs as a remote connector, on the host where the Java RCS is running. Before you start, copy the CSV data file from the Getting Started sample (/path/to/openidm/samples/getting-started/data/hr.csv) to an accessible location on the machine that hosts the remote Java RCS. For example:

cd /path/to/openidm/samples/getting-started/data/
scp hr.csv testuser@remote-host:/home/testuser/csv-sample/data/
Password:**
hr.csv     100%  651     0.6KB/s   00:00

Configure IDM for the Remote CSV Connector Example

  1. Copy the following files to your /path/to/openidm/conf directory:

    sync.json

    A customized mapping file for this example.

    /openidm/samples/example-configurations/provisioners/provisioner.openicf.connectorinfoprovider.json

    A sample RCS configuration.

    /openidm/samples/example-configurations/provisioners/provisioner.openicf-csvfile.json

    A sample connector configuration file.

  2. Edit the RCS configuration file (provisioner.openicf.connectorinfoprovider.json) to match your network setup.

    The following example indicates that the Java RCS is running on the host remote-host, listening on the default port, and configured with a secret key of Passw0rd:

    {
        "remoteConnectorServers" : [
            {
                "name" : "csv",
                "host" : "remote-host",
                "port" : 8759,
                "useSSL" : false,
                "key" : "Passw0rd"
            }
        ]
    }

    The name that you set in this file will be referenced in the connectorHostRef property of the connector configuration, in the next step.

    The key that you specify here must match the password that you set when you installed the Java RCS.

  3. Edit the CSV connector configuration file (provisioner.openicf-csvfile.json ) as follows:

    {
        "connectorRef" : {
            "connectorHostRef" : "csv",
            "bundleName" : "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.csvfile-connector",
            "bundleVersion" : "[1.5.19.0,1.6.0.0)",
            "connectorName" : "org.forgerock.openicf.csvfile.CSVFileConnector"
        },
        ...
        "configurationProperties" : {
            "csvFile" : "/home/testuser/csv-sample/data/hr.csv"
        }
    }
    • The connectorHostRef property sets the RCS to use, and refers to the name property you specified in the provisioner.openicf.connectorinfoprovider.json file.

    • The bundleVersion : "[1.5.1.4,1.6.0.0)", must either be exactly the same as the version of the CSV connector that you are using or, if you specify a range, the CSV connector version must be included in this range.

    • The csvFile property must specify the absolute path to the CSV data file that you copied to the remote host on which the Java RCS is running.

  4. Start IDM:

    /path/to/openidm/startup.sh
  5. Verify that IDM can reach the RCS, and that the CSV connector has been configured correctly:

    curl \
    --header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
    --header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
    --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
    --request POST \
    "http://localhost:8080/openidm/system?_action=test"
    [
      {
        "name": "csv",
        "enabled": true,
        "config": "config/provisioner.openicf/csv",
        "objectTypes": [
          "__ALL__",
          "account"
        ],
        "connectorRef": {
          "bundleName": "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.csvfile-connector",
          "connectorName": "org.forgerock.openicf.csvfile.CSVFileConnector",
          "bundleVersion": "[1.5.0.0,1.6.0.0)"
        },
        "displayName": "CSV File Connector",
        "ok": true
      }
    ]

    The connector must return "ok": true.

    Alternatively, use the admin UI to verify that IDM can reach the RCS and that the CSV connector is active. Log in to the admin UI (https://localhost:8443/openidm/admin), and select Configure > Connectors. The CSV connector should be listed on the Connectors page, and its status should be Active.

    remote-csv
    Figure 3. Connectors Tab Showing an Active CSV Connector
  6. To test that the connector has been configured correctly, run a reconciliation operation as follows:

    1. Select Configure > Mappings, and click the systemCsvAccounts_managedUser mapping.

    2. Click Reconcile.

      If the reconciliation is successful, the three users from the remote CSV file should have been added to the managed user repository.

      To check this, click Manage > User.

Check external system status over REST

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

After a connection has been configured, external systems are accessible over the REST interface at the URL http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/connector-name. Aside from accessing the data objects within the external systems, you can test the availability of the systems themselves.

To list the external systems that are connected to an IDM instance, use the test action on the URL http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/. The following example shows an IDM system with two connected LDAP systems:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request POST \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system?_action=test"
[
  {
    "name": "ldap",
    "enabled": true,
    "config": "config/provisioner.openicf/ldap",
    "connectorRef": {
      "bundleVersion": "[1.5.0.0,1.6.0.0)",
      "bundleName": "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.ldap-connector",
      "connectorName": "org.identityconnectors.ldap.LdapConnector"
    },
    "displayName": "LDAP Connector",
    "objectTypes": [
      "__ALL__",
      "account",
      "group"
    ],
    "ok": true
  },
  {
    "name": "ldap2",
    "enabled": true,
    "config": "config/provisioner.openicf/ldap2",
    "connectorRef": {
      "bundleVersion": "[1.5.0.0,1.6.0.0)",
      "bundleName": "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.ldap-connector",
      "connectorName": "org.identityconnectors.ldap.LdapConnector"
    },
    "displayName": "LDAP Connector",
    "objectTypes": [
      "__ALL__",
      "account",
      "group"
    ],
    "ok": true
  }
]

The status of the system is provided by the ok parameter. If the connection is available, the value of this parameter is true.

To obtain the status for a single system, include the name of the connector in the URL, for example:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request POST \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/ldap?_action=test"
{
  "name": "ldap",
  "enabled": true,
  "config": "config/provisioner.openicf/ldap",
  "connectorRef": {
    "bundleVersion": "[1.5.0.0,1.6.0.0)",
    "bundleName": "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.ldap-connector",
    "connectorName": "org.identityconnectors.ldap.LdapConnector"
  },
  "displayName": "LDAP Connector",
  "objectTypes": [
    "__ALL__",
    "account",
    "group"
  ],
  "ok": true
}

If there is a problem with the connection, the ok parameter returns false, with an indication of the error. In the following example, the LDAP server named ldap, running on localhost:1389, is down:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request POST \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/ldap?_action=test"
{
  "name": "ldap",
  "enabled": true,
  "config": "config/provisioner.openicf/ldap",
  "connectorRef": {
    "bundleVersion": "[1.5.0.0,1.6.0.0)",
    "bundleName": "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.ldap-connector",
    "connectorName": "org.identityconnectors.ldap.LdapConnector"
  },
  "displayName": "LDAP Connector",
  "objectTypes": [
    "__ALL__",
    "account",
    "group"
  ],
  "error": "javax.naming.CommunicationException: localhost:1389 [Root exception
  is java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused (Connection refused)]",
  "ok": false
}

To test the validity of a connector configuration, use the testConfig action and include the configuration in the command. For example:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--request POST \
--data '{
  "configurationProperties": {
    "headerPassword": "password",
    "csvFile": "&{idm.instance.dir}/data/csvConnectorData.csv",
    "newlineString": "\n",
    "headerUid": "uid",
    "quoteCharacter": "\"",
    "fieldDelimiter": ",",
    "syncFileRetentionCount": 3
  },
  "connectorRef": {
    "systemType": "provisioner.openicf",
    "bundleName": "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.csvfile-connector",
    "connectorName": "org.forgerock.openicf.csvfile.CSVFileConnector",
    "displayName": "CSV File Connector",
    "bundleVersion": "[1.5.0.0,1.6.0.0)"
  },
  "poolConfigOption": {
    "maxObjects": 10,
    "maxIdle": 10,
    "maxWait": 150000,
    "minEvictableIdleTimeMillis": 120000,
    "minIdle": 1
  },
  "resultsHandlerConfig": {
    "enableNormalizingResultsHandler": true,
    "enableFilteredResultsHandler": true,
    "enableCaseInsensitiveFilter": false,
    "enableAttributesToGetSearchResultsHandler": true
  },
  "operationTimeout": {
    "CREATE": -1,
    "UPDATE": -1,
    "DELETE": -1,
    "TEST": -1,
    "SCRIPT_ON_CONNECTOR": -1,
    "SCRIPT_ON_RESOURCE": -1,
    "GET": -1,
    "RESOLVEUSERNAME": -1,
    "AUTHENTICATE": -1,
    "SEARCH": -1,
    "VALIDATE": -1,
    "SYNC": -1,
    "SCHEMA": -1
  }
 }' \
 "http://localhost:8080/openidm/system?_action=testConfig"

If the configuration is valid, the command returns "ok": true, for example:

{
   "ok": true
}

If the configuration is not valid, the command returns an error, indicating the problem with the configuration. For example, the following result is returned when the LDAP connector configuration is missing a required property (in this case, the baseContexts to synchronize):

{
  "error": "org.identityconnectors.framework.common.exceptions.ConfigurationException: The list of base contexts cannot be empty",
  "name": "ldap",
  "ok": false
}

The testConfig action requires a running IDM instance, as it uses the REST API, but does not require an active connector instance for the connector whose configuration you want to test.

Remove a connector

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

If you remove a connector used in a mapping while it’s part of a scheduled task, you may see unintended consequences.

If you’re removing a connector, consider the following checklist. Depending on your configuration, this list may not be comprehensive:

  • Consider the remote resource. Make sure you no longer need data from that resource, and that the resource no longer requires data from IDM.

  • Open the sync.json file for your project. Delete the code block associated with the mapping.

  • Review the schedule-recon.json file. If it contains the schedule for a single operation, delete the file, or update it as a schedule for a different mapping.

When these steps are complete, you can delete the connector configuration file, typically named provisioner-*.json.

You can also delete the connector USING the admin UI. Log in as openidm-admin and click Configure > Connectors. Find the target connector, select the [vertical ellipsis] > widget. In the pop-up menu that appears, click Delete. The admin UI will automatically make the specified changes to the noted configuration files.

ICF interfaces

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

The ICF framework supports the following interfaces:

Some connectors support only a subset of these interfaces.

AttributeNormalizer

Normalize attributes to ensure consistent filtering.

Authenticate

Provides simple authentication with two parameters, presumed to be a username and password. IDM requires the connector to implement the AuthenticateOp interface in order to provide pass-through authentication.

Batch

Execute a series of operations in a single request. If a resource does not support batch operations, the connector will not implement the batch operation interface. The ICF framework will still support batched requests but the operations will be executed iteratively through the connector.

Connector Event

Subscribe for notification of any specified event on the target resource. This operation can be used in the context of IoT device reports, to receive notification of events such as low battery signals, inactive devices, and so on.

Create

Create an object and return its UID.

Delete

Delete an object by its UID.

Get

Get an object by its UID.

PoolableConnector

Use pools of target resources.

Resolve Username

Resolve an object to its UID based on its username.

Schema

Describe supported object types, operations, and options.

Script on Connector

Allow script execution on the connector.

Script On Resource

Allow script execution on the resource.

Search

Allow searches for resource objects.

Connectors that implement only this interface can only be used for reconciliation operations.

Sync

Poll for synchronization events, which are native changes to target objects.

Sync Event

Subscribe for notification of synchronization events, which are native changes to target objects.

Test

Test the connection configuration, including connecting to the resource.

Update

Allows an authorized caller to update (modify or replace) objects on the target resource.

Update Attribute Values

Allows an authorized caller to update (modify or replace) attribute values on the target resource. This operation is more advanced than the UpdateOp operation, and provides better performance and atomicity semantics.

ICF operation options

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

The ICF framework supports the following predefined operation options:

Some connectors support only a subset of these options.

Scope

An option to use with Search (in conjunction with the Container option) that specifies how far beneath the container to search. Must be one of the following values:

  • SCOPE_OBJECT

  • SCOPE_ONE_LEVEL

  • SCOPE_SUBTREE

Container

An option to use with Search that specifies the container under which to perform the search. Must be of type QualifiedUid. Should be implemented for those object classes whose ObjectClassInfo.isContainer() returns true.

Run as User

An option that specifies an account under which to execute the script or operation. The specified account will appear to have performed any action that the script or operation performs.

Run with Password

An option to use with Script on Resource that specifies a password under which to execute the script or operation.

Attributes to Get

Determines which attributes to retrieve during Search and Sync. This option overrides the default behavior, which is for the connector to return the precise set of attributes identified as returned by default in the schema for that connector.

This option allows a client application to request additional attributes that would not otherwise not be returned (generally because such attributes are more expensive for a connector to fetch and to format) or to request only a subset of the attributes that would normally be returned.

Paged Results Offset

An option to use with Search that specifies the index within the result set of the first result which should be returned.

Page Size

An option to use with Search that specifies the requested page results page size.

Sort Keys

An option to use with Search that specifies the sort keys that should be used for ordering the connector object returned by search request.

Fail on Error

This option is used with the Batch operation to specify whether the batch process should be aborted when the first error is encountered. The default behavior is to continue processing regardless of errors.

Require Serial

This option instructs the connector to execute batched requests in a serial manner, if possible. The default behavior of the Batch operation is to execute requests in parallel, for speed and efficiency. In either case the task ID must be reflected in the response for each task so that tasks can be correctly reordered.

Connection pooling configuration

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

Certain connectors support the ability to be pooled. For a pooled connector, ICF maintains a pool of connector instances and reuses these instances for multiple provisioning and reconciliation operations. When an operation must be executed, an existing connector instance is taken from the connector pool. If no connector instance exists, a new instance is initialized. When the operation has been executed, the connector instance is released back into the connector pool, ready to be used for a subsequent operation.

For an unpooled connector, a new connector instance is initialized for every operation. When the operation has been executed, ICF disposes of the connector instance.

Because the initialization of a connector is an expensive operation, reducing the number of connector initializations can substantially improve performance.

To configure connection pooling, set the following values in the connector configuration file poolConfigOptions property:

maxObjects

The maximum number of connector instances in the pool (both idle and active). The default value is 10 instances.

maxIdle

The maximum number of idle connector instances in the pool. The default value is 10 idle instances.

maxWait

The maximum period to wait for a free connector instance to become available before failing. The default period is 150000 milliseconds, or 150 seconds.

minEvictableIdleTimeMillis

The minimum period to wait before evicting an idle connector instance from the pool. The default period is 120000 milliseconds, or 120 seconds.

minIdle

The minimum number of idle connector instances in the pool. The default value is 1 instance.
