Configure Deprovisioning
 When
a source item is deleted, a process called Deprovisioning is used to
remove the object from the metaverse and from the target directories. As
you can imagine, considerable time and energy can be spent in developing
the appropriate business logic to follow when deprovisioning items.
At this time, we did not create a specialized rules
extension to control how items are removed. We feel that the standard
deletion on export rule can be used to remove the target entry is the
source is deleted. Because of the granular rights assignment and
specific containers used for exports, we do not believe additional
coding will be required. If additional coding work is required, this is
the screen that you would use to specify the change.
Configure Extensions
This last configuration screen is used to specify
which DLL is used to control the logic for this MA. Currently, there is
a single extension DLL used for this MIIS environment. While this basic
design works, it is not considered best-practice. Each MA should use its
own extension.DLL when possible. To learn more about this concept, see
the Developer Reference help file on the MIIS server or search for
“Creating a Rules Extension from Multiple Sources.”
Just as with the Exchange MA, this page shows us
the base Management Agent (Active Directory) and the name we have
provided to identify the Agent. This name is used within the source code
to identify the Connector Space.
Connection to Active Directory Forest
In this page, we identify the Active Directory
Forest we will connect to as well as the credentials we will use. You
can see that we have specified the MIIS user account in order to
restrict our permissions to the AD environment.
Configure Directory Partitions
It is from this screen that we identify the
directory partitions that contain the objects we want to synchronize
(copy to) with the Metaverse. From this screen, we can identify any
other credentials we want to use (for other partitions for example) as
well as the containers we want to choose.
Note: It is important that you select both the
source containers and target containers from the Containers window.
Deselected containers will not be used for either reading or writing
with MIIS.
Select Object Types
We need to expose several different types of
information from the Active Directory environment. You will probably
need to use the Show All checkbox to select each of these object types.
