Modifying an AD Bridge Between IAM and Microsoft Active Directory
Modify details of bridge between IAM and Microsoft Active Directory.
You can change the following items for a Microsoft Active Directory (AD) bridge:
- The Microsoft Active Directory users and groups that you want IAM to import using the AD bridge.
- Whether, after a user or group is synchronized from Microsoft Active Directory to IAM, if you activate or deactivate a user, modify the user's attribute values, or change the group memberships for the user in IAM, these changes are propagated to Microsoft Active Directory.
- How often you want IAM to use the AD bridge to import users and groups from Microsoft Active Directory.
- The predefined and custom attribute mappings defined between Microsoft Active Directory and IAM.
- Whether users can use their Microsoft Active Directory or their IAM passwords, or their federated accounts, to sign in to IAM to access resources protected by IAM, such as the My Profile Console, IAM Console, and apps assigned to the users.
Note
You can upgrade the client for the AD bridge. By doing this, you can install the latest client without removing the existing client that's installed.
To upgrade the client, download it and follow the instructions in Create a Microsoft Active Directory (AD) Bridge. When you see the Specify Oracle Identity Cloud Service Credentials or the Specify Microsoft Active Directory Credentials dialog boxes, use the credentials you provided in the previous installation. For this reason, the values are unavailable to edit.
