Scenario Roadmap

The scenario roadmap in this document consists of three main building blocks:

  1. Configuring the scenario – In this section, you create all required scenario features, including the required sample users, management agents, run profiles, and an inbound synchronization rule.

  2. Initializing the scenario – In this section, you deploy your initial configuration in FIM 2010.

  3. Testing the scenario – In this section, you verify that the scenario works according to the scenario specification.

Configuring the Scenario

The configuration of the scenario in this document consists of the following building blocks:

  1. Configuring the connected data sources

  2. Configuring the FIM 2010 R2 Synchronization Service

  3. Configuring the FIM 2010 R2 Service

The following sections provide detailed instructions for each configuration building block. These steps are performed as the user who installed the FIM Service. You must also have permissions to create organizational unit (OU) and user entities in your directory.

Configuring the connected data source

To configure the connected data source, you must create a new OU and three sample users in your Active Directory environment. Because the scenario is designed to be completed on a single computer, the sample users should be members of the Server Operators security group, which has the right to log on to a domain controller. As an alternative, you can also add a workstation to your environment, which eliminates the need for the membership update.

Creating the OU

For this scenario, you create an OU that receives the newly created sample object.

To create the OU

  1. To open the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in, click Start, click Run, and then type dsa.msc.

  2. In the console tree, right-click fabrikam.com, click New, and then click Organizational Unit.

  3. In Name, type FIMObjects.

  4. To create the OU, click OK.

Creating the Active Directory sample users

For the scenario in this document, you create some sample users in Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS). During the various procedures, you may be required to log on to the computer with these user identities. The following table lists the initial attributes to set when you create the sample users.

First name Last name Full name User logon name:

Britta

Simon

Britta Simon

bsimon

Terry

Adams

Terry Adams

tadams

Jimmy

Bischoff

Jimmy Bischoff

jbischoff

To create the Active Directory sample users

  1. To open the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in, click Start, click Run, and then type dsa.msc.

  2. Expand the console tree, and then select the newly created FIMObjects OU.

  3. To open the New Object – User dialog box, on the Action menu, click New, and then click User.

  4. Enter the data shown in the previous table for the current user, and then click Next.

  5. In the Password and the Confirm password text boxes, type P@$$w0rd.

  6. Clear the User must change password at next logon check box, and then click Next.

  7. To create the user, click Finish.

Repeat these steps for the remaining users.

At this point, you have created three new users in the FIM Objects OU. For each user, you must set additional attributes. The following table lists the required attributes.

Name Employee ID Employee type

Britta Simon

10

Full Time Employee

Terry Adams

11

Full Time Employee

Jimmy Bischoff

12

Contractor

To set the additional attributes

  1. In the FIMObjects OU, select the name of the user shown in the previous table.

  2. To display the properties dialog box for the selected user, on the Action menu, click Properties.

  3. Click the Attribute Editor tab. Ensure that you have selected Advanced Features to enable this tab.

  4. Set each attribute that is shown for the current row in the previous table.

Repeat these steps for all sample users.

Assigning group membership

This task is necessary to grant your sample users the right to interactively log on to your server running FIM 2010 R2.

To assign group membership

  1. To open the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in, click Start, click Run, and then type dsa.msc.

  2. In the console tree, select the Builtin container of the Fabrikam.com domain.

  3. In the list of objects, select the Server Operators security group.

  4. To open the Server Operators Properties dialog box, on the Actions menu, click Properties.

  5. Select the Members tab, and then click Add.

  6. In the Object Names text box, type Britta Simon;Terry Adams;Jimmy Bischoff.

  7. Click OK to update the group membership.

Configuring the FIM Synchronization Service

This section contains the instructions for configuring the FIM 2010 R2 Synchronization Service. Your sample users must be synchronized into FIM 2010 R2 because, for security purposes, FIM 2010 needs membership next to the domain as well as a user’s security identifier (SID) to make access decisions. The implementation of the synchronization scenario in this document is simplified and designed to enable only the scenario that is described in this document.

The configuration of the FIM 2010 R2 Synchronization Service consists of the following tasks:

  1. Enabling synchronization rule provisioning

  2. Creating the Fabrikam Active Directory Management Agent (ADMA)
