Active Directory Groups

I have searched these forums and the IDM manuals high and low for the past two weeks and I am coming up short on how to manage Active Directory groups with IDM. I don't know how much different my situation is from others, but basically I have an oracle table that is the source of the AD username and groups that the user is apart of and I am troubled on how to get the data from the table to flow into AD with no manual interaction.

I could write and external script to perform this action, but I would like to incorporated this into IDM. Any feedback or guidance would be appreciated.

Hi there

Im not sure if i get your question but from what i understand what you could potentially do is to link the oracle table to IDM as a resource from the u can go through each user a grab the groups they. Now u can use the name of each group to build the DN that you will use to populate the users groups in AD (accounts[AD].groups)

Hope that will help a bit

Currently I have both the Oracle table and AD as a resource, but I am confused about the details in between about how the code/xml will go.

Few questions before I answer your question

1) is it a one time activity?

2)would you like to update the AD group membership As soon as the oracle table is updated?

The activity would be more of an active sync type of operation. I would have a script that updates the table/view every couple of minutes or sooner.

Yes, it would like the change to be done as soon as the table is updated.

The groups are in a csv list in a column in the table if that helps any.
