Configuring a "Generic" user

655104Oct 15 2008
Hi all,

This is my scenario:

I have a table with 9900 rows, wich stores Users. They are not employees of the company but customers, providers, etc. I dont want to create OIM accounts for all these users becouse they are never going to be provisioned on any resource and shouldnt have access to the OIM web console. Also, to include these users in OIM It would be necessary to add new UDF on the "User" form just for them.

In my first approach, I created a simple OIM User, wich shoud be some kind of service or generic user (does OIM provide this kind of user accounts??).
I've prepared two database views:
"A" has a single record (just one column storing the "generic user" ID in OIM).
"B" is a query on the users original table, but with a new column storing a constant value (the one stored in "A").

Finally I created a GTC mapping these two views, so all the 9900 rows where reconciled in the Child Form.

It worked fine, but I can't perform searches in the Child Form, and its useless with the built in reports.

Could anybody show me the right way to configure this kind of generic or service user?
Would it be better to include all of them as OIM users?

Appreciate any hint on this.
Regards,
