Connecting SailPoint with Top Secret (Read-only)

To connect SailPoint with Top Secret, 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.

  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.

Base Configuration

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

  1. Enter a unique name and description for the source.

  2. In the Source Owner dropdown list, select the identity that owns this source.

    • To find a source owner, begin entering their name.

  3. In the Virtual Appliance Cluster dropdown list, select the virtual appliance to use when communicating with your organization's systems. For more information, refer to SailPoint Virtual Appliances.

  4. (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, go to Admin > Connections > Credential Providers. For more information about credential providers, refer to Credential Providers.

  5. (Optional) In the Governance Group for Source Management dropdown list, select a governance group to associate with this source. For more information about governance groups, refer to Associating Governance Groups with a Source.

  6. (Optional) Select Create Manual Work Items to allow the connector to create manual work items for certain operations. You can also enable this option so the source supports additional source management features such as creating accounts and access profile management.

    Important

    Once you enable this feature, you cannot disable it.
