Move OU Active Directory

Hi all,

I need to perform a move from an Active Directory branch to another branch when the AD account is disabled and vice versa. Looking at the documentation I found this link Best Practices: Active Directory Account Moves - Compass, which refers to a beforeprovisioning rule to implement. I followed the guide and created the rule on my Sandbox environment.

My question is how can I verify that the beforeprovisioning rule works?
In addition to having loaded it, I have not set it anywhere, as for the attributegenerator for example, which call the rule in the provisioning policy.
Can you help me?
Thanks

Hi @vcarelli I’d suggest you to use the Services Standard Before Provisioning Rule for the OU movement. Please refer to this post that might help:

Hi @vcarelli

Creating the BeforeProvisioning rule is a great first step, but it won’t do anything until you link it to your Active Directory (AD) application in SailPoint.

Here’s how to set it up:

  • Open your AD application in SailPoint.
  • Click Edit to access the settings.
  • Find the “Before Provisioning Rule” option.
  • Select the rule you created from the list.
  • Click Save to apply the changes.

To check if it’s working:

  • Try an action that should trigger the rule like disabling an AD account.
  • Then go to the Identity Requests section in SailPoint.
  • Open the request and see if your rule was executed and what changes it made.

Hi Saidurga,

Thanks for help, but I’m using IdentityNow, not IdentityIQ, and i don’t see the Edit tab on my source.

You do not need BP Rule to move user from one OU to another when it disable/enable.

Just use AC_NewParent attribute with the OU you need in Disable and Enable Provisioning Policy form.

@vcarelli,

Thank you for pointing that out, and apologies for the confusion earlier. You’re absolutely right , the steps I mentioned related to IdentityIQ don’t apply here.

Hi Krishna,
How can I use AC_NewParent?

Modify value of Enable/Disable Features for OnPremise source - Identity Security Cloud (ISC) / ISC Discussion and Questions - SailPoint Developer Community

I wanted to ask you something.
Following your guide I set the AC_NewParent with the OU for disabled accounts. But the question I ask myself is, on the source will I see the distinguished name populated with the new branch? Or do I also have to import the Distinguished Name attribute in the update policy?

Hi Vito,
After the OU is moved, You will need to do a full aggregation to have the updated OU inside ISC. You don’t need to populate Distiniguish Name

Thanks
