Provisioning
The OpenLDAP connector supports provisioning, allowing you to create and manage accounts and entitlements in OpenLDAP directly from SailPoint.
Prerequisite: Your system is configured for provisioning.
When SailPoint provisions new accounts to the source, it uses the attributes on the Create Account page as instructions or a template for what to include in the account. This page is also referred to as the provisioning policy.
When new access is granted on a source where a user does not already have an account, SailPoint automatically includes account creation in the provisioning. This applies whether provisioning is started from an access request or from an automated role or lifecycle state assignment.
For direct-connect sources, SailPoint automatically creates the account from this configuration. If the source is not configured as a direct-connect source, SailPoint creates and assigns a provisioning task to the source owner and includes the values for the source owner to use in manually creating the account.
Important
This section describes the default Create Account configuration. SailPoint recommends that you work with Services to define a provisioning configuration specific to your company's needs. Be sure to verify large changes to the provisioning policy before implementation. Failure to do so might cause provisioning to fail.
Default Create Account Attributes
| Account Attribute | Generator | Description |
|---|---|---|
| dn | Create Unique Account ID | This generator uses the value in the Pattern Used field to generate a unique DN for the new account. Caution: You must change the OU in the Pattern Used field in the distinguishedName attribute. |
| password | Create Password | This generator creates an initial password for the new account that matches the password policy assigned with the associated OpenLDAP source. |
| CN | Display Name | Full name of the user to be created. For example, Martin K Smith. |
| givenName | First Name | First name of the user to be created. |
| SN | Last Name | Last name of the user to be created. |
| Create Unique LDAP Attribute | The email ID of the user to be created. | |
| uid | Create Unique LDAP Attribute | The unique ID of the user to be created. |
Note
- You can edit some aspects of this page from the user interface. For more information, refer to Updating the Account Creation Configuration. You can also schedule regular aggregations for this source.
- The OpenLDAP connector will provision the accounts with parentheses in the Common Name (CN) within a Distinguished Name (DN).
