OIM Support Group --Tues., Nov 12, 2013 at 2pm - Marina del Rey Room

TOPIC: OIM Support Group

CONVENER: Steve C

SCRIBE: Bert Bee-Lindgren

# of ATTENDEES: 18

MAIN ISSUES DISCUSSED:

Helping each other with OIM
-Common connectors

Who is happy to be using OIM: No one

Why are we still using it?

Combining with Grouper? -- Need to create roles to pair with grouper

What is OIM's value?

How to architect to reduce lock-in?

-Use OIM implementation as a chance to externalize business logic

-Invest in reusable provisioning code (message-based, etc)

-

Two models:

1) OIM Data -> Roles -> Provisioning

2) External Data/Roles --> Provisioning

Version dependencies

1) Infrastructure (WebLogic, etc) has to be upgraded in lock step

2) Connected systems don't need to be upgraded in sync with OIM

3) You can't upgrade a connected system until OIM supports it

Successes:

1) Running shell scripts at the right time [Mike G], particularly with Identity Works as a partner

2) Oracle-application provisioning

3) Provisioning (AD, Business Suites, Sun LDAP) [Georgetown]

4) Full implementation underway [U Minn]

Where to go, if not Oracle:

1) CIFER (Open Registry, CPR)
