Oracle Identity Manager (User Provisioning – Thor)

Oracle Identity Manager is world class leading Identity Provisioning server which helps in creation of user, managing them and revoking access.
Oracle purchased Thor Technologies and bundled Identity Provisioning Server & Audit & Compliance module as Oracle Identity Manager.

Oracle Identity Manager is also known as Thor Xellerate Identity Manager or Oracle Xellerate Identity Provisioning.

Few Services in Identity Manager
————————————————
1) Access Right Management : Granting & Revoking access rights for a resource (URL, site, services, server, database…)

2) Provisioning : process that grants users, groups appropriate access rights. It involves creation of user(if not already in system), granting or revoking(deprovision) rights to access resource(application, system, database…)

3) Deprovisioning : Opposite of above

4) Attestation : confirming from authorized user that access right or
other privileges are correct or not.

Data & Enterprise Integration Tier.

Data & Enterprise Integration Tier contains database server which contains Oracle Identity Manager Data.

Hi Atul ,

I am a B.Tech Fresher and Started my career with one of the top 5 IT companies in India 2 months back. I am working in Identity Management, now i am worried about the future prospects after working in this project in IDM, can you just elaborate how is the career in IDM as compared to J2ee or Sw Development/ DBA. Is IDM good enough and will be in demand in future ?

hi atul;
Does ldap,oid come along with EBusiness Suite of R12 or we need to go for a seperate installation.

Q. Does ldap,oid come along with EBusiness Suite of R12

No, OAS shipped with R12 is simple J2EE and Web Server

Q. Do we need to go for a seperate installation for OID/SSO with R12 ?

Yes

Atul,

I am working on OIM / Sun LDAP, when ever I am creating user in OIM, I am able to provision them, through resource profile.
My question is how this process can be automated, i.e Once the user gets created in OIM, should automatically go to LDAP aswell?

I am using webservie to create users in OIM, but they are not perculating to LDAP. Please advise. Thanks in advance.

Hi All

i am invoking oam managed server from admin console and my admin server and oam managed servers running successfully but while testing my oam server from browser i am getting bellow error

Error 404–Not Found

From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol — HTTP/1.1:

10.4.5 404 Not Found

The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent.

If the server does not wish to make this information available to the client, the status code 403 (Forbidden) can be used instead. The 410 (Gone) status code SHOULD be used if the server knows, through some internally configurable mechanism, that an old resource is permanently unavailable and has no forwarding address.
