The sample shows you reconciliation between the OpenIDM internal repository
and a local LDAP directory server, such as OpenDJ, with data flowing from
OpenDJ into the internal repository, and from the internal repository into
OpenDJ.
To run this sample, launch OpenIDM with the sample configuration as follows:
$ /path/to/openidm/startup.sh -p samples/sample2b
or follow the documentation in the Install Guide:
http://openidm.forgerock.org/doc/install-guide/index.html#more-sample2b
Data for this sample is stored in data/Example.ldif. After you import
the data, ou=People,dc=example,dc=com contains a single user entry. Although
all attributes to synchronize can be multi-valued in LDAP, this sample
defines only mail as a multi-valued attribute in OpenIDM.
The sample includes these configuration files.
* conf/provisioner.openicf-ldap.json configures the LDAP connector.
By default, the LDAP connector uses the following parameters:
"host" : "localhost",
"port" : 1389,
"principal" : "cn=Directory Manager",
"credentials" : "password",
"baseContextsToSynchronize" : [ "ou=People,dc=example,dc=com" ],
"attributesToSynchronize" : [ "uid", "sn", "cn", "givenName", "mail", "description" ],
* conf/scheduler-recon.json configures a scheduler you can use to run
reconciliation periodically.
* conf/sync.json describes how identities in the directory server map to
identities in the internal repository target.
This sample includes the script script/ldapBackCorrelationQuery.js which
correlates entries in the directory with identities in OpenIDM.
The following curl command runs reconciliation once, creating users defined
in OpenDJ in OpenIDM's internal repository:
$ curl --header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" --header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" --request POST "http://localhost:8080/openidm/recon?_action=recon&mapping=systemLdapAccounts_managedUser"
Create or update a user on the directory server, for example using OpenDJ
Control Panel > Manage Entries, and then run reconciliation. Reconciliation
flows your changes to the OpenIDM repository.
The following curl command requests all identifiers in OpenIDM's internal
repository. Use it to see the results after reconciliation for example.
$ curl --header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" --header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" "http://localhost:8080/openidm/managed/user/?_queryId=query-all-ids"
