Configuring the Connector in SailPoint

An application is an instance of third-party software connected to IdentityIQ. The connector is configured to seamlessly provide governing and provisioning access to the application. The connector configuration includes all of the configuration and connection details required to connect IdentityIQ to the application.

Caution
Do not open the application configuration in multiple tabs or browsers. Doing so may cause you to accidentally overwrite changes made in other tabs.

1. Go to Applications > Application Definition.

2. Select Add New Application.

3. The Edit Application page opens to the Details page. Enter the following information:

   • Name – The name of the application. This is the name used to identify the application throughout IdentityIQ.

     Note
     IdentityIQ does not support application names that start with a numeric value or that are longer than 31 characters.

   • Owner – The owner of the application. The owner specified here is responsible for certifications and account group certifications requested on this application if no revoker is specified.

     Application ownership can be assigned to an individual identity or to a workgroup. If the application ownership is assigned to a workgroup, all members share certification responsibilities, are assigned certification requests associated with the application, and all can take action on those requests.

   • Application Type – The dropdown list contains the applications to which IdentityIQ can connect. This list will grow and change to meet the needs of IdentityIQ users.
