Oracle Identity Manager OIM 11.1.2.2 Create user only in OIM and not in LDAP Directory when ldap sync is enabled

Create user in OIM only and not in LDAP when ldap sync is enabled

When ldap sync is enabled, user created in OIM will be synched over LDAP, like OID server. A new user created in OIM will be provisioned to the OID when "ldap sync" is enabled. This is the default behavior. However there may be business requirement when you only want the user to be created in OIM- this user should not be synced over to OID. In order to do this, follow steps in the given OIM document.

Follow steps in below section

E.4 Creating Users in Oracle Identity Manager and Not in LDAP When LDAP Synchronization is Enabled

When LDAP synchronization is enabled, you can configure the filter parameter 'excludeEntityFilter' in the LDAPUser.xml file to filter out user entries to be created in LDAP, but that can only reside in Oracle Identity Manager. Based on any Oracle Identity Manager attribute and its value, users can be created in Oracle Identity Manager without pushing to LDAP server although LDAP synchronization is in enabled mode.
Note:
This feature is supported only for the user entity.
For example, if you want Oracle Identity Manager accounts with act_key=2 not to be created in LDAP, then perform the following steps:
  1. Import the LDAPUser.xml file from MDS.
  2. Add the following filter to LDAPUser.xml:
    <parameter name="excludeEntityFilter">
<value>act_key=2</value>
</parameter>
<parameter name="excludeEntityActions">
<value>ALL</value>
</parameter>
  3. Export the LDAPUser.xml file to MDS.
  4. Create a user in Oracle Identity Manager with organization act_key as 2. The same user will not be created in LDAP. Note that users created in Oracle Identity Manager that are assigned to organization with act_key other than 2 are successfully created in LDAP.
Another example is to create users only in Oracle Identity Manager but not in LDAP server in LDAP synchronization enabled mode if the user's role matches 'Full-Time'. To do so, use the filter parameter as shown:
<parameter name="excludeEntityFilter">
<value>Role=Full-Time</value>
</parameter>
<parameter name="excludeEntityActions">
<value>ALL</value>
</parameter>
In the examples, certain Oracle Identity Manager users are not allowed in LDAP based on the filter and actions. By default, ALL is set for disabling the operations, and no CRUD operation is possible on these users. This is as shown:
<parameter name="excludeEntityActions">
<value>ALL</value>
</parameter>
The filter that you provide in the LDAPUser.xml file is evaluated and a boolean value is returned to determine whether or not to proceed to LDAP synchronization handlers.
Schema file is available in the product for these parameters. If you want to customize it, then configuration has to be done in the LDAPUser.xml file, which must be exported back to MDS.

VMware fix for Invalid manifest and ova file import failed errors

Image
Recently we got a OVA file for a virtual machine. The vendor instructions were to import the ova file in vmware Workstation, Player for Windows/Linux, Fusion for Mac, and VirtualBox as well.  The instructions were to take the available package and launch the VM with VMware workstation. The package contained  Module.mf, Module.ovf and Module-disk.vmdk and a Module.ova file. The .mf and .ovf file were 2 KB each whereas the vmdk was several gigs. The package also contained a Module.ova file which was several gigs as well. OVF           Open Virtualization Format MF             Manifest file VMDK       Virtual Machine Disk OVA           Open Virtualization Appliance The ovf file is a xml file that contains metadata for the ovf package The mf file contains the SHA1 hash codes of all files in the package The vmdk file is the disk image of the virtual machine,  VMware Workstation or VirtualBox. (vmdk format was originally developed by VMware and is an open format now). All of

SOAPUI - import certificate

Note: SoapUI has two versions, one is open source and second Professional version. The open source can be download here . (confirmed link 12/19/2018). SSL Handshake issue:   There is an Issue in SoapUI version 5.3.0 (and 5.2.0 version) with SSL handshake error. It was resolved by updating below in vmoptions file ( refer here ). However, the error that shows up while trying to load wsdl is "Error loading WSDL" as below The fix is to Enable TLS 1.2 protocol for SOAP/REST calls in SoapUI, by ammending the vmoptions file to add the directive for TLS as (-Dsoapui.https.protocols=TLSv1.2). Refer here . Update: Version 5.5.0 does not have this issue. If you are on 5.3.0 better upgrade to 5.5.0 which is available now (Feb 2019). I had above issue as well as another issue reaching to https endpoint. Upgrade to 5.5.0 resolved issue. Select "Check for updates" under the Help menu and you will get option for upgrade.

Centrally Managed Users (CMU) - New Feature in Oracle Database 18c

Image
Centrally Managed Users (CMU) Centrally Managed Users or CMU is a new feature introduced since Oracle DB 18c which allows simplified database user management through integration with Microsoft Active Directory (AD). Beginning with Oracle Database release 18c, version 18.1 and later supports direct integration with Microsoft Active Directory (AD) using the new centrally managed users capability. CMU allows the Oracle database to perform user authentication and authorization directly against AD. Benefits of CMU With centrally managed users, users accessing the database can be centrally managed to improve an organization's security posture. An enterprise user (a user in Microsoft Active Directory) can be exclusively mapped to a database account, or many enterprise users (in an Microsoft Active Directory group) can be mapped to a shared account in the database. Microsoft Active Directory groups can also be mapped to a database global role, which provides users with additional privilege
