Is it possible to sync 'act_key' to LDAP

Has anyone attempted to synchronize the OIM user attribute 'act_key' (display name = 'Organization') to LDAP.
We have LDAP Sync configured and this specific attribute is not getting synced to LDAP by default. I wanted to find out if we can use the procedure documented as "Synchronizing User-Defined Fields Between Oracle Identity Manager and LDAP" at
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/doc.1111/e14308/conf_mangmnt.htm#BABEHGAD
to sync up this user attribute to LDAP.
I know that OIM also has an additional user attribute called "LDAP Organization" which does get synced to LDAP. Can anyone help explain why OIM has these two attributes (act_key and 'LDAP Organization') that both seem to serve the same purpose.
Thanks

ACT is part of the OIM database. It is the primary table identifying organizations within OIM. ACT_KEY links the USR and ACT table to identify which organization a user is a member of. It's not something that can be removed, so in order to integrate with LDAP as well, the need for an LDAP organization is required too.

  • OIM 11g LDAP sync from different LDAP containers

    Hi,
    I have been setting up OIM 11g R2 (11.1.2) to use LDAP Sync to OID.
    As of now the sync works (both ways) for this container:
    cn=users,cn=oracleAccounts,dc=mycompany,dc=com (configured while doing the OIM config)
    Would it be possible to sync users in other containers as well? For example:
    cn=users,cn=otherAccounts,dc=mycompany,dc=com
    cn=users,cn=moreAccounts,dc=Otherstuff,dc=com
    By editing the file LDAPContainerRules.xml I can setup where the users are created when I create them through IDM.
    But that will not make the sync work for those containers.
    Any ideas where I should start to accomplish the above?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Henrik

    Okay, I think I have found an answer to how to sync users from different OU:s in my OID to different OIM organizations.
    Hopefully this will help others.
    We can use a PostProcess Event handler like this:
    1. Implement the method --> public BulkEventResult execute()
    This is used during recon actions.
    2. Get the user hashmap with attributes and set the "act_key" value with the OIM organizations ID.
    You also needs to build the logic to fetch the users "LDAP DN", which is also fetched from the map.
    From that attribute we can decide which Organization to put the user in.
    This is the best solution we have found yet..

  • Automating user creation for Unity Connection when sync'd with LDAP

    Hi
    Is it possible to automatically create users that sync with unity connection?
    I have a unity connection 7.0 server that is sync'd with LDAP and i use a ldap filter so that only users with a specific attribute are sync'd. I can see the users when i try to do an import but is there anyway that they can automatically be created

    No
    Check this check box so that Cisco Unity Connection gets basic information on Connection users from the LDAP directories that you specify on the LDAP Directory page. Data is synchronized only for the Connection users that you created by importing users from the LDAP directory. Connection does not automatically create new Connection users when new users are added to the LDAP directory.

  • Is it possible to Sync an iPod (or iPhone) with a Shared Library?

    I know this is a silly, basic question, but 6:30 AM is just too early for me to keep digging for the answer.
    So, I have several computers at home. ONE of them is used to purchase and store all of my iTunes music. This same computer is used to sync several iPods. The entire library on this computer is shared. Two other computers in the house are Authorized on the same account and regularly play music stored on the "first" computer.
    So here's the rub.
    My duaghter just got a new iPhone. She has her own MAC. I'd like her to begin using her own computer to sync her iPod and iPhone.
    Is it possible to sync her iPod and iPhone using HER computer (that is authorized on my account) and MY shared library?

    I don't think it is possible to sync an ipod to a shared library for copyright reasons. Sharing is great and simple for accessing and listening to other computer's music over a network, but to sync your ipod - I believe can only be done from that particular itune's music library. But here's how I work around this so that I don't have to have my 90 GB Music Folder copied on multiple computers:
    Copy these files from your main computer (the one that has and controls your master itunes library) into the same location on any other computer on your network (say your daughter's computer): user/music/itunes/iTunes Music Library.xml & iTunes Library. Before copying them over to daughter's computer, remove the old files (maybe keep somewhere else just in case) and have itunes shut down. Then start up itunes on your daughter's computer and it should look identical to the main computer's itunes (and the same as the shared library). What you've esentially done is created a separate itunes library data base that can be managed on your daughter's computer but one that accesses the same actual music files that are on the main computer's Music Folder. To check go to Preferences/Advanced and you'll see that the Music Folder location is pointing to the same file as on the main computer (whose Music Folder is now being used as a sort of network music despository). You'll notice that when your daughter's computer starts itunes and plays a song, the main computer's hard drive where the Music Folder is stored will mount on her computer. So the main computer obviously has to be turned on, or more accurately, the location of the Music Folder (could be on an external hard drive) must be accessible over the network. Your duaghter can now create her own spearate playlists and sync her ipod to her own library which is accessing the same song files (Music Folder) as the main computer. And both of you can be playing from itunes at the same time independantly.
    Here's the tricky part that takes some coordintation: Since you'll both be accessing and adding to the same huge Music Folder, you'll need to coordinate with eachother if you want to be able to have each computer's itunes database "see" any music that the other person has added or purchased. For purchasing or adding music to the music folder, both of you should have in Preferences/Advanced the "copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to Library" selection checked when purchasing music or adding music via burning. If your daughter, for example, buys an album and has this preference selected, then it will go to the Music Folder and she will have access to it. But the other computer doesn't know that this was added to the music folder and it won't show up in that computer's itunes. For itunes to knwo a song is in it's Music Library it has to add it to it. SO, from this other computer, go to File/Add to Library and navigate to the location within the Music Folder and then select the newly purchased album and it will now show up in this itunes as well - BUT before you do this you should UNcheck the "copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to Library" preference so that the album is not duplicated in the Music Folder. Then if this computer wants to purchase an album, you need to have this checked again. Basically if your doing the original adding you have to have the "copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to Library" checked. If your simply letting your itunes know that something was added then have the "copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to Library" unchecked before you add it to your library. And if someone creates a playlist that the other wants, you can still share eachother's libraries (even though your accessing the same Music Folder) or even export the playlist and import it into the other computer.
    Sounds tricky but it's actually pretty easy and allows each person to sort of control his/her itunes and sync their own ipods/iphones all from the same Music Folder.

  • Is there any way to sync Outlook for Mac with iPhone? I have tried everything but not successful. Apple says it is not possible to sync contacts from Outlook for Mac to iPhone 5. Any help will be much appreciated.

    Is there any way to Sync contacts from Outlook for Mac to iPhone 5? Apple support says that only iTune can only sync contacts from "Contact" which is the default contact of Mac. If one is running Outllok on a Mac machine then it is not possible to sync the contacts with iPhone. It is strange that Apple distributors are promoting and offering machines with promise that Windows users can now run MS Office on Mac machines without any problem. While this is true, it is so strange that one cannot sync the contacts from MacBook Pro to iPhone5. If someone has found a way to sync contacts from Outlook to iPhone 5 please help as it is very frustrating to not be able to sync the contacts. Thanks, Amit.

  • Is it possible to sync one iPhone to two Macs? One for the music library and one for contacts, emails etc

    At home I have two Macs, one for work and another which acts as a sort of entertainment hub storing all my music, podcasts and videos as well as being for the family to use.
    Is it possible to sync my one iPhone to both Macs, with the work one just syncing things like my contacts, emails, calendars and apps while the other Mac would sync just the podcasts and music to the iPhone.
    Would this cause any problems and what is the correct way to go about this?
    Thanks for any help, tips and advice.

    As wjosted said, it's possible, but it's not recommended.
    Email does not sync with a computer. Only email account information is. Mail itself is synced with the mail server.
    Why not just sync with the computer you keep your media on and use iCloud (or whatever cloud service you want) to sync the rest? Seems simpler to me.

  • HT1386 Why is not possible to sync just content like musice ONLY, when I have no time to wait on whole proces of synchronization, there SHOULD be a way to sync JUST MUSIC and nothing else, I dont wanna wait 10minutes to have 3 songs I want to have in my i

    Dear Apple, why is not possible in the year 2014...sync to my iPhone just content I want to separety, without the whole sync procedur(backinup,syncing whole purchased things and stuff like that) When I want to have in my phone for example just 3 new songs ..I dont wanna wait 10minutes because of whole synchronization!!! I want add to my iPhone just these 3 songs thats it! Would be perfect, If you will make possible to sync just parts like MUSIC, Apps, Fotos, separetly and not alltime together...it s****!

    Ok.
    I have Windows OS and iTunes for PC, but the problem is not in my PC, but in synchronization. Your synchronization take minute or two, you have thunderbolt lightning cable??? If is it by you really so quick than ok but by me is it with sync really slow and I have still powerhouse notebook.
    I dont know how is it possible that your sync is so quick, but my iPhone starts transfering purchased aplications and all content to the PC, instead of downloading it PC itself without iPhone from iStore.  So there is what happend when I am conecting my iPhone.
    When it find my iPhone on the first try, it starts makeing backup, than transfering photos, aplication, some info from Safari and to the end also the MUSIC...this should be improved by Apple and it should be able to sync just MUSIC section and not whole system, when I changed just something in MUSIC section(like adding new CD..)
    So it does on PC whole resync Maybe is it somewhere in options, but where? I really want sync sometimes just MUSIC or just Apps and nothing else(like Photos, Bookmarks...)
    I am sorry for that angry tone, but I am really stresedby this 20minutes sync or 10 miutes...just becouse of adding 1-2 songs, this is by competition phones quicklier :/ !

  • Is it possible to sync time capsule data to a external hard drive

    Is it possible to sync time capsule data to a external hard drive connected to time capsule via usb. (as an precaution just incase time capsule fails)
    Thanks

    Yes, if the USB drive has been previously formatted correctly in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format.
    Open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup
    Click the Disks icon
    Click the Disks tab below the icon
    Click Archive
    Allow plenty of time for the copy process to occur. You will not be able to make Time Machine backups from your Mac until the Archive process has completed.

  • Is it possible to sync all the email in a folder, not just the last few months worth?

    Is it possible to sync all the email in a folder, not just the last few months worth?

    Hi Mengelkemier,
    I think you're posting in the wrong forum.  This forum is intended to be used to discuss virtualizing Exchange Server on the the vSphere platform.  The question you're asking seems to be a mobile device specific question.
    You would probably get better visibility posting on a forum dedicated to your particular device.  And for what it's worth, some devices will let you sync all of your email and others will only let you sync a certain amount.  It's dependent on the device you're using.
    Good luck in finding your answer.
