Virtual system - New virtual system in 5 minutes

What is a virtual system?

A virtual system is a system that can not be directly connected for online management. The reason may be for example the absence of a suitable system connector. The virtual system is basically only a registration mode, where for each system change is generated the implementation request (notification) that is assigned to the particular implementer. This implementer must ensure that the change is made to the target system. In other words, IdM "knows" what the user should have on the system for accounts and permissions, but on the real system this is executed by the implementer (administrator).

What do you need before you start

Create virtual system

You have two options how create virtual system.

The first option - more complex:

  1. Manual create IdM system.
  2. Use virtual connector.
  3. Set virtual connector configurations.
  4. Generate system schema.
  5. Create mapping for provisioning
  6. Create attributes for mapping.

The second option - easier way is to use the automated creation of the virtual system.

This operation do exactly same steps as is described above.

03 - Check your new virtual system

In this moment the virtual system is created. You can check its configuration:
More information about system configuration, schema and attribute mapping, you can find here

System configuration:

System schema:

System provisioning mapping:

Mapped attributes for provisioning:

System synchronization mapping:

Mapped attributes for synchronization:

Synchronization:

This synchronization is used for first import to the virtual system. It will pair all entities.

Create new role

04 - In the left main menu select 'Roles'.

05 - Click on 'Add' green button to create new role

06 - Create mapping on our virtual system

Create new user

07 - In the left main menu select 'Users'.

08 - Click on 'Create user' green button

In shown dialog fill fields:

Create account on virtual system

09 - On detail of 'john.doe' select tab 'Roles'.
