OIM 11g R1 LDAP Synch with OID.

Question

Hi,
We are doing an LDAP Synch with OID directly. The users from various organisations in OIM needs to be synched to different OU's in OID, instead of a single container. How do we acheive this? would it be easy if we involve OVD also?

Here is some sample code configuration which may give you a start - hope it helps.
Sample code that can be called in a pre-process event handler to copy the users organinisation to the LDAP Organization Unit
HashMap<String, Serializable> parameters = orchestration.getParameters();
Serializable param = parameters.get("act_key");
String act_key = null;
if (param instanceof ContextAware) {
act_key = ((ContextAware) param).getObjectValue().toString();
} else {
act_key = param.toString();
if (act_key != null) {
OrganizationManager orgMgr = Platform.getService(OrganizationManager.class);
Set<String> retAttrs = new HashSet<String>();
retAttrs.add("Organization Name");
Organization org = null;
try {
org = orgMgr.getDetails(act_key, retAttrs, false);
} catch (OrganizationManagerException e) {
} catch (AccessDeniedException e) {
String orgName = (String) org.getAttribute("Organization Name");
orchestration.addParameter("LDAP Organization Unit", orgName);
Sample container mapping rule
<rule>
<expression>LDAP Organization Unit=Test Organization</expression>
<container>ou=Test Organization,ou=users,o=org</container>
<description>Add user to the Test Organization OU in LDAP if their OU is set to Test Organization</description>
</rule>
Sample change in /db/LDAPUser
<!-- Two act_key entries in the <reconFields> section to set RECON_ACT_KEY. -->
<!-- The first sets RECON_ACT_KEY to the default value from the scheduled job -->
<!-- The second overwrites RECON_ACT_KEY with an OU value if supplied in the LDAP User data. -->
