Resource Object - Symbolic representation of Target system

SOA Composite - Approval workflow logic deployed in SOA

IT Resource - Target system connection info

Adapter - Java method symbolic representation

Provisioning Workflow - Set of task flow to manage access in target system

Process Form - Place holder form used by provisioning task

Lookup - Place holder for any config used by OIM code

Catalog - Name itself suggest. It contains all available target so user can pick and request

Email Template - Contains email template used by OIM to send communication

Schedule Task - Job running on period basic. Like recon process.

Policy

             Access Policy - Contains rule for automatic giving target access to any user

----------- Commonly used Configuration

OIM is used for managing Identity and Access. So we have to onboard users and target system inside OIM before managing the Access.

User On-boarding - Process is called Trusted Reconciliation. Typically we create a schedule job to pull delta from HR system and sync OIM identity.

Application on-boarding - Multiple steps need to follow for boarding new target system in OIM.

                  Create Resource Object [Symbolic representation of target system]

                  Create IT Resource [target system connection parameter]

                  Configure Provisioning Workflow [Task flow to manage access]

                  Configure Process Form

                  Crete Application Instance and publish in catalog

Application Recon - Also called as Target Reconciliations. Typically we create a schedule job to pull delta from target system and sync OIM access.
