OIM Connector for Microsoft : AD, Exchange, Windows, Password Management

This post covers overview of Oracle Identity Manager (OIM) 11g connectors for Microsoft (MS) products.

Oracle Identity Manager (OIM) (more here) is user provisioning and reconciliation software. To install & configure OIM 11g (11.1.1.3) click here (latest OIM version as of July 2012 is 11.1.1.5. Installation & Configuration steps for OIM 11.1.1.5 are same as 11.1.1.3 , simply use software version WebLogic-10.3.5, RCU-11.1.1.5, and IDAM 11.1.1.5)

OIM uses connectors to provision and reconcile users

There are four OIM connectors for Microsoft Products

a) Microsoft Active Directory User Management : Install and configure this connector if you wish to provision users from OIM to Microsoft Active Directory or to reconcile users from Microsoft Active Directory to OIM

b) Microsoft Active Directory Password Synchronization : Microsoft Active Directory User Management connector takes care of synchronizing passwords from OIM to Active Directory. If you also modify (or manage) password for users in Active Directory then use this connector (MS–AD Password Synchronization) to synchronize passwords from Active Directory to Identity Manager (OIM)

c) Microsoft Exchange : Use this connector to create mailboxes in Microsoft Exchange for users from OIM. This connector is also used to reconcile changes from Microsoft Exchange to Identity Manager (OIM)

d) Microsoft Windows : Use this connector to integrate Oracle Identity Manager (OIM) with Microsoft Windows.

Note: Microsoft Active Directory User Management and Microsoft Exchange connectors are version 11g where as Microsoft Active Directory Password Synchronization and Microsoft Windows connector are version 9.x.x

Hi Atul,

I was following the steps from your book to install and configure OAM 11g SSO for my application.

One more doubt.. If I have configured SSO for Webcenter Portal application and now want to redirect user to another J2EE Web application from Portal page.
Please find below the scenario
1. User authenticated using FORM base authentication while accessing portal application.
2. Now user wants to access another application (i.e. mywebapp) which has reference on Portal page.
3. Web application work on Spring security and now i want to take the third application under SSO umbreala.
4. Web application provider ask me to pass few HTTP headers to his application.

Can you please tell me .. how this can be achieved? How do I pass HTTP header to his application?

Thanks in advance. .
Sunil
