Introduction
OpenText Identity Manager ships with a Password Notification Job which allows sending of emails before a password is due to expire.
This IDM Driver does the same thing, but comes with additional features:
- Can be configured with as many email configurations as necessary
- Can send emails to multiple recipients in a single configuration
- Based on an LDAP Query, so can gather data from any Object in IDM
- LDAP Query can be specified to use information gathered from the Job Object
- @notify-from
- @notify-to
- Can remove LDAP Query instances based on an XPATH expression
- Can send an email x, y, z days before the actual date (similiar to the OpenText Job)
- Can send an email to certain addresses based on an XPATH expression
- Supports multiple languages for emall content
- Supports TO, CC, and BCC
- Supports different email templates for each email configuration
- Can retrieve data from another Object using the DN attribute value on the source Object
Configuration
The Driver configuration is very straighforward, and consists of the following:
- Add a Base Level configuration to the Global Configuration Variables
- Define an LDAP Query
- Define a list of attributes which are returned with the LDAP Query
- You can optionally define 'day-lags' to send emails before the current day
- This is useful for sending out reminder emails before password expiration
- Define an email configuration
- Define the recipient of the email
- Define the Subject, Intro, and Details of the email (the content)
- The email tokens for the content can be static text or data based on a lookup
- You can optionally define language JSON tags to support different languages
- Create a Job on the Driver, and assign the Job Name to the Base Level configuration
- Schedule the Driver Job
