Disable firewall on OEL 7

The firewall on Oracle Linux 7 system is enabled by default. 

Fedora 18 introduced firewalld as a replacement for the previous iptables service. Since RHEL7 and Oracle Linux 7 are based on Fedora 19, the switch from iptables service to firewalld is now part of the Enterprise Linux distributions.

Use the following two commands to check the status and them stop the firewall

systemctl status firewalld

service firewalld stop

SailPoint IdentityIQ: Type of Rules

Creation Rule: 
Identity creation rules are used to set attributes on new Identity objects when they are created.  New identities may be created during the aggregation of application accounts, or optionally created after pass-through authentication.

One common operation is to change the name property of the identity when the default application name is complex (such as a directory DN).

Another common operation is to assign a set of initial capabilities based on the attributes pulled from the application account.

Use Case: Generate user email, set password

Customization Rule:

This rule is configured on the application and is called after the connector has build a ResourceObject from the native application data.

Initially designed for non-rule based connectors to add SPPrivileged flag to an object, but could be used to do any transformations.

Use Case: Set IIQDisable flag to set account status

HOST XXX.XXX.XX.X is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server

I created an OEL VM and installed a My SQL server. For ease of access, I installed SQL developer on my local windows 10 machine.

After installing the my sql driver in SQL developer and trying to connect to the DB, I got the following error:

My SQL Server was not configured to receive any external request

Granted the permissions

Problem Resolved

Mouse Pointer Stuck Inside VM VirtualBox - Change Host Key

If you using VirtualBox and your mouse pointer is stuck inside the guest's(VM) window. This is by design. When you are using the VM, the keyboard and mouse input go there. If you want to switch this to host, a specific key can be configured, called as "Host Key" (great name)

Default Host Key

Windows: right Ctrl - Press right Ctrl on Windows to unstuck your mouse pointer

macOS: left Cmd

You can also change this key to any other key in VirtualBox settings:

Look into Guest Addition to get rid of this dependency
