OIM 11gR2 PS2: access policies not work properly

1015967Apr 15 2016 — edited Apr 15 2016

Hi All,

we have an issue with the access policies evaluation job.

Job is ran manually, parameters at default configuration (no time limit). We are testing three access policies, each linked to a same role and each containing a single resource.

The various resources involved can be provisioned correctly if going the manual way.

The role is assigned automatically with role membership rule. What happens is the following;

1-we create a new user (manually, from xelsysadm)

2-the role is assigned automatically because of the rule

3-we run the job "evaluate access policies"

Now outcome seems to be random:

- sometimes the policies attached to the role are evaluated correctly for a user and the resource are provisioned

- sometimes the policies attached to the role seem not to trigger. Whenever the policies do not trigger, we anyway noticed that in the USER_PROVISIONING_ATTRS table, for the affected users the flags move from POLICY_EVAL_NEEDED=1 and POLICY_EVAL_IN_PROGRESS=0 to POLICY_EVAL_NEEDED=0 and POLICY_EVAL_IN_PROGRESS=1 , but no provisioning takes place at all (meaning no accounts, not even in "Provisioning" status).

- sometimes only some of the policies attached to the role are evaluated.

- we have also tried with one access policy with one resource, linked to a single role, but outcome is equally random. 

Furthermore we performed a new test with 100 new users and 4 resource (ldap,webservice and 2 GTC) assigned, the access policies engine starts but it blocked after a random number of users provisioned.

The user provisioned properly have the flags POLICY_EVAL_NEEDED=0 and POLICY_EVAL_IN_PROGRESS=0 but the user blocked had the flags POLICY_EVAL_NEEDED=0 and POLICY_EVAL_IN_PROGRESS=1.

Do you had never this wrong behaviour ?

Best regards,

Francesco
