Understanding the ID Provider Driver

Understanding the ID Provider

Driver

The ID Provider driver enables you to create and maintain a central source of unique IDs that can be

consumed by client applications or systems. When the driver receives an ID request from a client, it

generates an ID based on policies you define, passes it to the client, and then stores it in the Identity

Vaul t .

Section 1.2, “Design Architecture,” on page 9

Section 1.3, “Schema Architecture,” on page 11

1.1 Why Use the Driver?

There are many different reasons why you would want to use the ID Provider driver. For example:

For administrators it is convenient to have one basic ID for each objects in the system, and to

have complete control of the ID. No other system can change this ID.

You can use the ID Provider driver in conjunction with the WorkOrder driver to verify that each

WorkOrder ID that is created is unique.

You can use the driver to help manage UIDs and GIDs in Linux.

1.2 Design Architecture

Identity Manager drivers listen for events and then apply the proper Identity Manager policies for

the event. That information is then passed to the Metadirectory engine that executes the policies.

The ID Provider driver is different from all other Identity Manager drivers. It also listens for events,

but it has two sets of policies: the Identity Manager policies and the ID Provider policies. The ID

Provider policies allow the driver to generate and assign unique IDs to objects.

The driver has three major components:

ID Client: The ID client communicates with the ID Provider driver to obtain a unique ID. The

client can be another Identity Manager driver (for example, the WorkOrder driver) or a

standalone Java* application.

ID Provider Driver: The driver receives ID requests from clients, generates unique IDs that

are stored in the Identity Vault, and passes the unique IDs back to the client. The driver uses

LDAP to access the Identity Vault and uses Java RMI (Remote Method Invocation) to

communicate with ID clients.

Identity Vault: The Identity Vault provides the location for storing unique IDs and also

contains the policies used to generate the IDs. All IDs and policies are stored in the ID Policy

Container.

The ID Provider driver can be used in two different scenarios:

“Scenario 1: Using the Identity Vault to Store the ID Provider Policies” on page 10

“Scenario 2: Using an LDAP Database to Store the ID Provider Policies” on page 11

Scenario 1: Using the Identity Vault to Store the ID Provider Policies

This is the most commonly used scenario with the driver. The ID Provider policies are created and

stored in the Identity Vault when the driver is created and configured. Figure 1-1 shows how an

unique ID is generated.

Figure 1-1 Identity Vault Stores the ID Provider Policies

1. A new User object is created in the Identity Vault, then the ID Provider driver picks up the

Create event.

2. The ID Provider driver reads the last ID that was generated from the ID Provider polices in the

Identity Vault and generates a new ID. The ID is then written back to the ID Provider policies

in the Identity Vault to track the unique IDs.

3. The ID Provider driver then assigns the new ID to the new User object.
