User Life Cycle Schedule

The User Life Cycle schedule monitors the profile validation process in Directory Manager. It performs the following main functions in keeping with the user profile validation settings for an identity store:

  • Monitors the profile validation dates of users
  • Generates reminder emails
  • Disables users who do not validate their profiles within the given period

Create a User Life Cycle Schedule​

Follow the steps to create a User Life Cycle Schedule.

Step 1 – In Admin Center, click Identity Stores in the left pane.

Step 2 – On the Identity Stores page, click the ellipsis button for an identity store and select Edit.

Step 3 – Click Schedules under Settings in the left pane.

Step 4 – On the Schedules page, click Add Schedule and select User Life Cycle Job. The Create Schedule page is displayed.

Step 5 – In the Schedule Name box, enter a name for the schedule.

Step 6 – The Name Preview box displays the schedule name prefixed with _UserLifeCycle__; the schedule is displayed with this name in email notifications.

Step 7 – Select a Directory Manager portal URL in the Portal URL drop-down list to include it in notifications generated for the schedule. Users are redirected to this portal to perform any necessary action.

Step 8 – In the Scheduler Service Name drop-down list, select a Scheduler service that would be responsible for triggering this schedule. The number of services displayed in the list depend on the number of nodes in all Elasticsearch clusters in the environment, as each node has its own Scheduler service. See the Scheduler Service topic for additional information.

Please note the following while selecting a Scheduler service:

  • The Scheduler service for the Directory Manager instance on which you are creating the schedule is selected by default. However, you can select the Scheduler service of another instance as well.

  • The Scheduler service can be changed even after creating the schedule. Upon the next run, the schedule will be triggered by the newly-selected Scheduler service.

  • If the selected Scheduler service fails to trigger the schedule, then no other Scheduler service can be selected automatically.

  • If a schedule is run manually on the Admin Center, then the Scheduler service of that instance will be used.

Step 9 – Click Add Triggers in the Triggers area to specify a triggering criterion for the schedule, that, when met, starts the execution of the schedule. Follow step 11 in the Create a Group Usage Service Schedule topic to add triggers.

Step 10 – Click Add Authentication in the Authentication area to specify an account for running the schedule in the identity store. Follow step 12 in the Create a Group Usage Service Schedule topic for additional information.

Step 11 – On the Create Schedule page, click Create Schedule.

Step 12 – On the Schedules page, click Save.
The schedule is displayed under User Life Cycle. See the View the Schedules in an Identity Store topic for additional information.
