Software Updates

This section discusses updates made to this release of the connector software.

Enhancement in the Multilanguage Support Feature

In addition to the three languages supported by the earlier release, this release of the connector supports seven new languages. All the supported languages are listed in the "Multilanguage Support" section.

Query-Based Reconciliation

In reconciliation performed by using the earlier release of the connector, all target system records that have been added or updated after the last reconciliation run are reconciled during the current reconciliation run. This release of the connector provides features that enable you to specify the subset of records to be reconciled.

You can specify an LDAP query that the reconciliation engine must use while fetching records from the target system. You specify this LDAP query as the value of the CustomizedReconQuery IT resource parameter, which is listed in the table in the "Defining IT Resources" section.

You can also specify whether the query that you provide must be run on records for all user groups or only on the user group specified in the LDAP query. To do this, you use the GroupObject attribute defined in the "User Reconciliation Scheduled Task" section.

No Limit on the Number of Users That Can Be Reconciled During a Single Reconciliation Run

With the earlier release of this connector, you could not reconcile more than 1000 users during any particular reconciliation run. This release of the connector can reconcile any number of users during a reconciliation run.

Display of the Group Name Values

In the earlier release of this connector, group ID (objectGUID) values were displayed in the Design Console and Administrative and User Console after group lookup reconciliation. From this release onward, the group names (sAMAccountName) of the reconciled groups are displayed. This makes it easier to identify the groups that have been reconciled.

Determining the Release Number of the Connector

Instructions to determine the release number of the connector are given in the "Determining the Release Number of the Connector" section.

Support for OC4J

Earlier releases of the connector supported the following application servers:

This release of the connector also supports Oracle Containers for J2EE (OC4J). Instructions pertaining to OC4J have been added at the required places in the guide.

Setting Non-Mandatory User Attributes to NULL During a Disable User Provisioning Operation

This release of the connector provides a feature that enables you to automatically set to NULL the value of nonmandatory user attributes while performing a Disable User provisioning operation. To enable this feature, you use the following new parameters of the IT resource definition:

These parameters are discussed in the "Defining IT Resources" section.

New Field in the Lookup.ADReconciliation.FieldMap Field Map
