Connecting SailPoint and Browser Extension

To connect SailPoint and Browser Extension, perform the following tasks:

Adding Discovery Connector in SailPoint

Discovery connectors have categories that encompass a group of discovery sources to find enterprise applications. You can automatically discover enterprise applications using discovery sources, which search for applications your organization has on-boarded or can on-board. For more information, refer to Discovering Enterprise Applications.

  1. Go to Admin > Connections > Discovery Connectors.
  2. Select Create Connector.
  3. Select Connector Category.
  4. Select Continue.
  5. Search for a source type and select Configure.
  6. Review the directions and select Start Connector Setup.

  7. Review the pre-populated source name, source owner, and description. To update, select Edit.

    Note

    Source name must be unique.

  8. (Optional) If enabled for your organization, select the Use a Credential Provider checkbox to manage the source's authentication using a credential provider.

    Note

    To add a Credential Provider in SailPoint, go to Admin > Connections > Credential Providers. For more information about credential providers, refer to Credential Providers.

  9. Select Finish. A test connection is performed in the background.

  10. If the test connection is successful, your source is created, and you are prompted to run a discovery.

    • If you want to discover applications now, select Discover.

      • Additional Settings > Discovery Settings - The latest application discovery history is shown.
      • Additional Settings > Discovery Activity - Discovered applications are listed.

    • If you want to discover applications later, select Cancel. As no discovery has taken place, in the source details:

      • Additional Settings > Discovery Settings - The latest application discovery history is blank.
      • Additional Settings > Discovery Activity - No discovered applications are listed.

      You are navigated to the Sources page, where the source created is listed.

Base Configuration

Provide the base configuration parameters. Information you entered in the Connector Setup dialog is automatically entered into the fields in the Base Configuration page. You can edit this information, if necessary.

Note

Ensure that the name and description of each connector is unique.

  1. Enter a descriptive Connector Name for the connection.
  2. Enter the Description that provides details necessary to distinguish it from similar connection sources.

  3. In Connector Owner, enter the name of the owner responsible for administrating, operating and managing the source system.

  4. Select Save.
