How will you plan an upgrade project ? What are the benefits of Identity Management? Centralized auditing and reporting – Know who did what and report on system usage. Reduce IT operating costs – Immediate return on investment is realized by eliminating the use of paper forms, phone calls and wait time for new account generation and enabling
user self service and password management. Minimize Security Risk – Control access to the network and instantaneously update accounts in a complex enterprise environment including: layoffs, acquisitions, partner
changes, temporary and contract workers. Improved quality of IT services Legal compliance – Many government mandates require secure control of access.
How does Identity Management (IDM) work? The process involves creating user accounts that are able to be modified, disabled or deleted. Delegated workflows, rules and policies are applied to the users account.
A user profile will tell the company: who they are, what they are entitled to do, when they are allowed to perform specific functions, where they are allowed to perform
functions from and why they have been granted permissions.
How are Identity Management Solutions Implemented? Step One: Inventory and assess current investments and processes. Clean and consolidate identity data stores. Create virtual identities for enterprise users. Step Two: Design and deploy identity infrastructure components. Create identity provisioning and deploy password management, user self-service, and regulatory compliance. Step Three: Deliver applications and services. Access management deployed to a clean environment. Leverage federated identity for improving supply chain and employee
efficiencies.
Explain the Architecture of Oracle identity Manager?
The Oracle Identity Manager architecture consists of three tiers
Tier 1: Client: The Oracle Identity Manager application GUI component reside in this tier. Users log in by using the Oracle Identity Manager client.The Oracle Identity Manager
client interacts with the Oracle Identity Manager server, providing it with the user's login credentials.
Tier 2: Application Server: The second tier implements the business logic, which resides in the Java Data Objects that are managed by the supported J2EE application server
(JBoss application server, BEA WebLogic, and IBM WebSphere). The Java Data Objects implement the business logic of the Oracle Identity Manager application, however, they are
not exposed to any methods from the outside world. Therefore, to access the business functionality of Oracle Identity Manager, you can use the API layer within the J2EE
infrastructure, which provides the lookup and communication mechanism.
Tier 3: Database: The third tier consists of the database. This is the layer that is responsible for managing the storage of data within Oracle Identity Manager.
How many Types of users are there in oracle identity manager?
Explain the Provisioning and Reconciliation process?
Explain the Auto provisioning Process?
What is Deprovisioning Explain auto deprovisioning process?
What is purpose of Reconciliation Manager?
You can look here for recon data once reconciliation is complete. You can determine whether event received and linked for not.
What is Application Server and Web server? A Web server exclusively handles HTTP requests, whereas an application server serves business logic to application programs through any number of protocols. Webserver mainly handles the Http requests but app server can be used to handle the http, rmi, TCP/IP and many more protocols. Webserver just handles the requests of the
webpage – means suppose, a html page(presentation layer) requests a data - here script is written containing the business logic , then it just give the response with the
required data from the database. Then the html page with script is used to show the retrieved information. In case of application server, it does the same thing, of getting
and gives the response but it can process the requests. i.e. in this case, instead of script know how to fetch the data, the script is simply used to call the applications
server's lookup service to retrieve and process the data. i.e here, application server is used for processing/applying logic. The web server can be considered as the subset of
app server
The basic difference between a web server and an application server is
WebServer can execute only web applications i.e. servlets and JSPs and has only a single container known as Web container which is used to interpret/execute web applications
Application server can execute Enterprise application, i,e (servlets, jsps, and EJBs) it is having two containers 1. WebContainer (for interpreting/executing servlets and jsps) 2. EJB container (for executing EJBs). It can perform operations like load balancing , transaction demarcation etc
What is the purpose of rule designer?
Use this form to create rules that can be applied to password policy selection, automatic group membership, provisioning process selection, task assignment, and prepopulating
adapters
General
Process Determination

What is Adapter? What Adapters available in OIM?
An adapter is a Java class that is created by an Oracle Identity Manager user through the Adapter Factory.
Process Tasks adapters - automate completion of a process task and are attached to a Process Definition Form ( AD user, OID User, etc)
Entity Adapter - automatically populates a field on the OIM User form or custom User Form on pre-update, pre-delete, pre-insert, post-insert, post-update, or postdelete
Pre-Populate Adapter - specific type of rule generator attached to a user-created form field that can automatically generate data to the form but does not save that data to
the OIM database but does send that information to appropriate directory user object. The data can come from manual entry on a form or from automated entry from the OIM
defined forms.
Rule Generator - can populate fields automatically on an OIM form or a user-created form and save to the OIM database based on business rules
Task Assignment Adapter - automates the assignment of a process task to a user or group

Below Questions Courtsey Zubair Khan : What is the difference between OIM 11g and 10g from the high level architecture perspective?
Ans1: At high level below are the brief differences a) 10g Request Management has been replaced by SOA composite which has a customized schema accommodating BPEL and Human Task.
b) Reconciliation engine has been re-written in 11g to enhance the performance by introducing the cache mechanism. c) OES libraries are used as an authorization engine unlike 10g had its own object vs view based authorization. d) Plugin services platform is introduced in 11g to have easy customization in place which can be some what mapped to entity adapter functionality in 10g. e) Groups in 10g are now called as Roles in 11g with some modifications which makes it like ldap roles. Some more differences related with notifications, schedulers and etc can be discussed if time permits.

Problem : How to use FVCUtil(Form Version Control Utility) in OIM for newer version of form to work for users which are already provisioned with that resource object.
Solution :OIM have “Form Version Control Utility” (FVCUtil) utility to deal with this. By the help of FVCUtil, newer version of form will work for existing users(i.e: users
those are already provisioned with the old .
Run the fvcutil.cmd for this but need to make sure \fvc.properties file should be properly configured then only changes will be reflect.
Important question Object form versus Process form { Object form in 11g Replaced by Request Data Set}
The basics are that a Process form is attached to a process, such as a provisioning process, and an object form is attached to a resource object. When a provisioning process
has been initiated that form is required data.However, if a request, either a selfrequest or a request from some manager or admin, is initiated, then it is not yet a
provisioning process and is only a request. In this case, a request for a object form, if there is one. Once the required information for the request has been input, and if there are approvals then those must also be completed, then it triggers some
provisioning provisioning process then triggers it's attached process form (if needed) and completes the provisioning.

Whats is the Structure for OIM objects and their relationship ?
1. Resource Object
2. IT Resource
3. User defined adapters for create / update / delete operations.
4. Resource Process Form associated with Resource Object.
5. Process Definition associated with Resource Object and Rsource Process form.
6. Process Definition have tasks for each process form fields.These are tasks associated with above created adapters.
Adapter's again { Most imp functions of OIM } : Refer Tool reference guide for more details :
There are five types of adapters:
■ A process task adapter, which allows Oracle Identity Manager to automate the
completion of a process task.
■ A task assignment adapter, which enables Oracle Identity Manager to automate
the assignment of a process task to a user or group.
■ A rule generator, which incorporates business rules to the fields of either an Oracle
Identity Manager form or a user-defined form (created using the Form Designer
form), so these fields can be populated automatically and saved to the Oracle
Identity Manager database.
■ A pre-populate adapter, which is a specific type of rule generator adapter that can
be attached to a user-created form field. The data generated by this type of adapter
can appear either automatically or manually. In addition, it uses criteria that
enable Oracle Identity Manager to determine which pre-populate adapter will be
applied to the designated form field. It then populates the designated form field
without saving this information to the Oracle Identity Manager database.
■ An entity adapter, which is attached to an Oracle Identity Manager or user-created
form field. Oracle Identity Manager triggers an entity adapter on pre-insert,
pre-update, pre-delete, post-insert, post-update, or post-delete. Once this occurs,
the field to which the adapter is attached is populated automatically and saved to
the Oracle Identity Manager database.

What are the benefits of Identity Management? Centralized auditing and reporting – Know who did what and report on system usage. Reduce IT operating costs – Immediate return on investment is realized by eliminating the use of paper forms, phone calls and wait time for new account generation and enabling
user self service and password management. Minimize Security Risk – Control access to the network and instantaneously update accounts in a complex enterprise environment including: layoffs, acquisitions, partner
changes, temporary and contract workers.
Improved quality of IT services Legal compliance – Many government mandates require secure control of access.
