Connecting SailPoint and CyberArk PAM (Self-Hosted)

To connect SailPoint with CyberArk PAM, perform the following tasks:

Adding the Source in SailPoint

To connect to SailPoint, perform the following steps. Once the connection is made, you can configure it to meet your company's needs.

To configure a new source:

1. Sign in to SailPoint.
2. Go to Admin > Connections > Sources.
3. Select Create New.
4. Search for the connector by entering the name in the search box, and then select Configure.
5. In the Source Name field, enter a unique and descriptive name for your source. Source names cannot exceed 128 characters.
6. In the Description field, provide additional details about the source to help distinguish it from similar sources. This field allows a maximum of 2,000 characters.
7. In the Source Owner field, begin typing the name of an owner. Matches appear after you type two or more letters. For more information, refer to Assigning a Source Owner.

8. Under Connection Type, select Direct Connection or Flat File.

   • Direct Connection - A direct connection fetches data from the Virtual Appliance Cluster you choose as the application connector for the source. A direct connection configuration allows for real-time updates. For more information about configuring and deploying virtual appliances, refer to the Virtual Appliance Reference Guide.
   • Flat File - Select the flat file if no connector is available, or if another system restricts the connection. This option allows only reading and aggregating data as a generic/delimited application. Provisioning activity is unsupported, and additional configuration pages like connection settings and aggregation settings are unavailable.

9. If you selected Direct Connection, in Virtual Appliance Cluster, select the virtual appliance cluster that will be used as the application connector for the source.

10. (Optional) Select a governance group to grant its members source or role sub-admin level oversight of the source and its access. For more information, refer to Creating and Managing Governance Groups.
11. If this source represents a primary system containing your organization's personnel records, select the Authoritative Source checkbox. For more information, refer to Creating Identity Profiles.
12. Select Continue. The source is created, and you are navigated to the Source Setup > Base Configuration page. Continue to configure your connected source there.

Connection Settings

Provide the information required to connect to and interact with the source.

To configure connection settings, complete the following:

1. Enter the value of Connection Timeout in minutes to hold the connection. By default, it is one minute.

2. Enter the Host URL of the managed system that you are connecting to. For example, you can use the following:

   https://{your CyberArk Domain}/scim/v2

3. Select and configure your authentication type:

   • OAuth 2.0 Authentication Type
   • API Token

OAuth 2.0 Authentication Type

You can use OAuth 2.0 authentication which uses an access token to authenticate the connection. Access tokens are generated based on the selected grant type. Currently, only Client Credentials is supported. A generated token can be used.

1. In the Connection settings, set the Authentication Type to OAuth 2.0.
2. Select Client Credentials from the Grant Type dropdown list.
3. Enter the OAuth 2.0 Token URL for generating an access token.
4. Enter the Client ID for OAuth 2.0 authentication.
5. Enter the Client Secret for OAuth 2.0 authentication.
6. Select Save.

API Token

Configure API Token authentication.

1. In the Connection settings, set the Authentication Type to API Token.
2. Enter the API token into the API Token field.
3. Select Save.

Aggregation Settings

Configure the settings the connector uses to aggregate identity data.

For more information about aggregation, refer to Loading Account Data.

To configure connection settings, complete the following:

1. Enter a Page Size as a number of records that you can get in one request. The default page size is 50.

2. Enter the Account Filter to aggregate the user resources. For example, you can use the following:

   userName sw "S"

3. To aggregate any additional fields during the aggregation operation, specify the schema attribute and its corresponding JSON path for the attribute in the JSON Path Attribute Mapping panel.

   For any JSON path you add, you need to add a corresponding schema attribute to the Account Schema.

4. Select Save.

Additional Settings

Configure the Retry Error List. This feature lists possible errors the connector may receive from the source during an aggregation which prompts the connector to reattempt the aggregation process.

1. Provide a list of aggregation errors which should initiate another aggregation attempt into the Retry Error List field.

   Note

   If the source encounters any of these errors during the subsequent attempt, the aggregation process fails.

2. Select Save.

Review and Test

Perform a test to confirm the connection to SailPoint.

1. Go to Review and Test.

2. Confirm that the entries in each field are correct.

   If you note any mistakes, return to the section and make corrections.

3. Select Test Connection.
