ORACLE IDENTITY MANAGER 11G: ADMINISTRATION AND

IMPLEMENTATION
DURATION 35 HOURS

Objective:
This includes the five fundamental actions that an administrator can perform with a resourcerelated account: creating, disabling, reinstating, modifying, and deleting the account. Trainee will
also learn how Oracle Identity Manager retrieves user and organizational records from both trusted
and no trusted sources, including how to implement workflows to detect rogue accounts from
unauthorized resources. Trainee creates reports in Oracle Identity Manager that capture users
present and life cycle relationships with resources. Next, students set up, create, manage, and
review an attestation workflow, from end-to end. This workflow notifies reviewers of a report they
must review to verify users have access to the appropriate resources and privileges within these
resources.
