OIM User Attributes Modification

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

While integrating Oracle Identity Manager within a corporate environment, sometimes it is important to change some user attributes externally. OIM API provides simple means to perform these operations.

As is the case in any operation, a connection needs to be made to the OIM instance. This is a simple task, but one must ensure that credentials are properly stored and protected.

 

protected static OIMClient client;

private static String OIMInitialContextFactory = “weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory”;

 

public OIMConnect(String fileName) throws Exception

{

Hashtable<String, String> env = new Hashtable<String, String>();

env.put(OIMClient.JAVA_NAMING_FACTORY_INITIAL, OIMInitialContextFactory);

env.put(OIMClient.JAVA_NAMING_PROVIDER_URL, CONNECTION_URL);

client = new OIMClient(env);

System.setProperty(“java.security.auth.login.config”, AUTHCONF_FILE);

System.setProperty(“OIM.AppServerType”, “weblogic”);

client.login(OIMUSERNAME, OIMUSERPASSWORD.toCharArray());

return;

This blog will relate to the File System Connector.

Have you ever wanted to build create a File System Connector that creates a file that has a unique value so the process can run multiple times a day or week and you don’t have to worry about overlaying the file?  This can be accomplished with the Before Initialize.  In this case the process will only run once a day so only the date is added to the end of the file name.
