SDG Solution

SDG accomplished this by doing an assessment of the existing implementation and identifying the process deficiencies, improvement areas, and pain points. Designed a robust approach for migration using SDG’s proprietary connector bridge framework. Refined role-based access and introduced improved lifecycle event management and access review processes.

Phased Migration Approach – Multiple phases to support parallel migration by dividing the responsibility of resource management

Connector Bridge – Provided a seamless integration between SIM adaptors and OIM connectors. Provided option of data push during the migration phase. Easy deployment or rollback.

Provisioning – Phased migration of all provisioning components to OIM using connector bridge frameworks, OIM membership rules, and role-based access policies.

Data Migration – User data, passwords including expiration, password history, challenge questions, roles and membership, delegated administration.

Access Policies – Defined the membership rules with access policies, event handlers for business logic.

Form Customization – Complex logic built into the process forms for masking or unmasking the data using process tasks.

Delegated Administration and Scoping – Scoping of entities like users, roles, and other objects. Handled OIM user scoping exceptions using OES and role exceptions using managed beans

Reports – OIM BI publisher reports covering user access, rogue accounts, exception reports etc.

UI Customization – ADF customization for adding new page sections, AJAX refresh using managed beans. Handled scoping exceptions from Oracle using OES and managed beans.
