6.1 Registration of Connectors into Oracle Directory Integration and Provisioning

Before deploying a connector, you register it in Oracle Internet Directory. This registration involves creating a directory synchronization profile, which is stored as an entry in the directory.

To create a directory synchronization profile, use one of the following tools:

• The Oracle Directory Integration and Provisioning Server Administration tool

• Directory Integration and Provisioning Assistant

Attributes in a synchronization profile entry belong to the object class orclodiProfile. The only exception is the orclodiplastappliedchangenumber attribute, which belongs to the object class orclchangesubscriber.

The Object Identifier prefix 2.16.840.1.113894.7 is assigned to platform-related classes and attributes.

The various synchronization profile entries in the directory are created under the container cn=subscriber profile,cn=changelog subscriber,cn=oracle internet directory. For example, a connector called OracleHRAgent is stored in the directory as orclodipagentname=OracleHRAgent,cn=subscriber profile,cn=changelog subscriber,cn=oracle internet directory.
