Configuring Application Schema

The application schema is used to configure the objects returned from a connector. When a connector is called, the schema is supplied to the methods on the connector interface. This connector currently supports two types of objects, accounts (users) and group. Account objects are used when building identities Link objects. The group schema is used when building Account_Group objects that are used to hold entitlements shared across identities.

Note

  • The Schema tab is used to define the attributes for each object type in the application being configured. The schema attributes can be defined as Indexed, Entitlement, or Multi-Valued.
  • The schema attributes that are not present in the out-of-the-box must be defined as string if not specified.
  • SailPoint requires certain attributes remain in your configuration. These attributes are referred to as Identity Attributes, and they must not be updated. If you update these attributes from their default values, the connector may fail. To resolve any issues caused by changing Identity Attributes, re-configure them to their default values.
