OIM Design Console - Resource Management

This is where you will find your definitions for resources and resource types.

Resource Type = classifies resource types (AD Server, Database, Flatfile, LDAP server, etc) These types can serve multiple uses and can be reused when defining an IT Resource.

IT Resource = These are definitions that represent a specific server or hardware and shows where it is and how to connect to it: Example - OID Server

• admin ID and password to connect
• port
• Root DN
• Server Address
• Provisioning Attribute lookup code
• Recon Attribute lookup code
• Time stamp (last recon)

Resource Objects - contains objects that you actually want to have provisioned (AD User, eDir User, Exchange). This is also where you find the fields that you want to reconcile information from the directories.

• NOTE: If you want to add a field to a User Defined form and have it reconciled, it must be defined here first before adding to the Process Definition Form recon mappings

It also contains the VERY useful tool Rule Designer which we will go into later.
