OIM 11g R2 PS2 (11.1.2.2.) : OOTB Composites , Approval Policies and Disconnected App Provisioning

-
In this post, I will talk about something which I did not notice on first glance while working with OIM 11g R2 PS2. Well the change basically is that the all the OOTB approval policies don't come with the product and it is basically a blank slate to start with. OOTB there will be no approval policies in OIM that you will see.

But if you do an disconnected application provisioning it will go through "Request Level Approval" and "Operational Level Approval" next.
On further investigation I found out that approval workflows are hard coded in in process task adapters if I chose the Application Instance as Disconnected.

"ManualProvisioningStart" has the name of workflow attached "DisconnectedProvisioning!1.0" which gets directly invoked on create,enable,disable,modify etc. operations.

By default all connected applications will not go through any approvals since no approval policies.

We can still leverage existing 12 SOA approval workflows available on SOA Server.


  1. 2 certification related
  2. AutoApproval
  3. BeneficiaryManagerApproval
  4. DefaultOperationApproval
  5. DefaultRequestApproval
  6. DefaultRoleApproval
  7. DefaultSODApproval
  8. OAACGRoleAssignSODCheck
  9. ProvideInformation
  10. RequestorManagerApproval
  11. DefaultSODApproval
  12. DisconnectedProvisioning.

Also as was mentioned all self assign role/resource etc have been deprecated along with resource related request types.

OIM 11g Custom ADF Application Development

In this post , I will cover the steps required to create a custom ADF web application. What this application does is facilitate Account Claim Process. Users has been migrated from some other IAM product to OIM and exist in disabled state and hence cannot login to perform Self Service operations. User needs to identify themselves by providing their personal details like personal identification number, zip code and dob etc. After successfully Identifying themselves they will be able to set a new password and set their challenge questions and answers. During this process the application will activate their account and set the new password and QnA. At the end of the process, they will be able to login OIM with their new password set. The application has been developed using JDeveloper using ADF technology to render user interfaces and MVC design pattern to keep the concerns separate.

OIM 11g R2 PS2 : SOA Approval Workflow Sample

In this post I am posting the sample code for a sample SOA approval workflow. Some of the features that this workflow addresses are Approval to Manager or Role Owners is dynamic based on the custom OIM system property "approval-condition". Value is set either "AND" or "OR". Manager or Role Owner can be set to be notified only with no approval required. In this case only email is sent to notify them but no approval is required from them. Custom OIM system property are created to address this.   manager-notify-only = TRUE or FALSE  TRUE = only notify the manager no approval request sent. FALSE = notify the manager and send an approval request.   roleowner-notify-only = TRUE or FALSE  TRUE = only notify the role owner no approval request sent. FALSE = notify the role owner and send an approval request. Third Level System Notification was required but it should be dynamic.  Custom OIM system property are created to address this sysadmin-noti
