Overview

novdocx (en) 13 May 2009

Overview

Identity Manager provides the ability to launch jobs that perform specific tasks. The jobs can be run

one or more times either manually or at scheduled times.

Identity Manager provides five predefined jobs:

Random Password Generator: Generates a random password for each object defined in the

job’s scope. The password is generated by NMASTM to match a Password Policy object that the

job references. The job submits the generated passwords one at a time to a driver’s Subscriber

channel. The Subscriber channel policies must take action on the passwords.

Schedule Driver: Starts or stops a driver.

Subscriber Channel Trigger: Sends event documents to be processed by a driver’s Subscriber

channel. For example, a job could generate an event document to trigger policies associated

with a user. Submitted event documents can be queued to the driver cache, or they can bypass

the cache and be processed immediately.

Driver Health: Evaluates the health conditions for a driver, assigns the health state, and carries

out any actions associated with the health state. This job is used in conjunction with driver

health monitoring. For complete instructions about setting up driver health monitoring,

including using the Driver Health job, see “Monitoring Driver Health” in the Identity Manager

3.6.1 Common Driver Administration Guide.

Password Expiration Notification: Searches an LDAP directory for objects whose passwords

expire in a specified number of days. When an object that meets the criteria is discovered, the

job sends an e-mail to the address contained in the object’s mail LDAP attribute.

Information about using the predefined jobs is provided in Chapter 2, “Adding a Predefined Job,” on

page 11 and Chapter 3, “Configuring a Predefined Job’s Properties,” on page 15.

You can also develop custom jobs to perform tasks. A custom job requires you to create a Job

Definition and a Job Implementation. The Job Definition is XML code that defines the parameters

for the job. The Job Implementation is a JAR file that contains the Java* classes that perform the

task. The job can perform any task that you can implement through Java classes. Because the job is

initiated through the Metadirectory engine, the job also has access to the Identity Vault data. For

more information, see Chapter 4, “Creating a Custom Job,” on page 25.
