Connecting SailPoint and Oracle Access Governance

To connect SailPoint with Oracle Access Governance, 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.

Important

By default, the provisioning feature is disabled, and the connector only supports read-only operations. To support provisioning operations, you must manually enable the feature in the source configuration.

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 Actions.

  5. In the Actions dropdown list, select the setup method:

    • Express Setup - Quickly create a read-only connection to your target system by providing minimal configurations and authentication. On completion, aggregation is automatically started.

      Note

      Express Setup supports Credential Providers. For information on supported credential providers and configuration, refer to Credential Providers. For more information, contact your SailPoint Customer Service Manager.

    • Standard Setup - Provide detailed basic configuration to create the source. Once the source is created, continue with source setup.

Configuring a Source Using Express Setup

Express Setup minimizes the initial configuration process so you can quickly connect the application and immediately begin aggregating user account and entitlement data.

  1. Review the directions and select Start Express Setup.

  2. Review the pre-populated Source Name, Source Owner, and Description. To update, select Edit.

    Note

    The source name must be unique. You can change these settings later in the source configuration.

  3. (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.

  4. Configure the authentication to allow SailPoint to connect to the source. For more information, refer to the Connection Settings section.

  5. Select Finish.

    After a successful test connection, the system creates your source and prompts you to run an aggregation.

    • If you want to aggregate now, select Aggregate.

      • To see the latest account aggregation history, go to Account Management > Account Aggregation.
      • To see the list of aggregated source accounts, go to Account Management > Accounts.

    • If you want to aggregate later, select Exit. This returns you to the Sources page. Your new source is listed, but contains no accounts or aggregation history yet.

Configuring a Source Using Standard Setup

Use Standard Setup to configure the connector for full feature support.

  1. In the Source Name field, enter a unique and descriptive name for your source. Source names cannot exceed 128 characters.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. (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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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. (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.

  4. Configure the authentication to allow SailPoint to connect to the source. Refer to Connection Settings for more information.

  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) Choose whether to enable or disable provisioning for the source. Provisioning is disabled by default.

    • Enable Provisioning - Set the toggle to Enabled to allow the source to create, update, and deactivate accounts in the connected source system.

    • Disable Provisioning - Set the toggle to Disabled to disable provisioning for the source. Disabling provisioning will prevent the creation, updating, or deactivating of accounts on this source.

  7. Select Save.

Connection Settings

Enter the information that the source uses to connect to Oracle Access Governance and authenticate with OCI IAM.

Connection Settings fields for Service Instance URL, OCI IAM Domain URL, Client ID, and Client Secret

  1. In Service Instance URL, enter the base URL of the Oracle Access Governance service instance, such as https://example.access-governance.region.oci.oraclecloud.com.
  2. In OCI IAM Domain URL, enter the base URL of the OCI IAM identity domain, such as https://idcs-example.identity.oraclecloud.com. You can also enter the full URL ending in /oauth2/v1/token.
  3. In Client ID, enter the client ID of the confidential application.
  4. In Client Secret, enter the client secret of the confidential application. The secret is stored encrypted and is not written to logs.
  5. Select Save.

Aggregation Settings

Screenshot

Aggregation Settings fields for Page Size, Aggregate Only Active Identities, Enable Partitioning, and Number of Partitioning Threads

  1. Select the Enable Partitioning toggle to divide account aggregation across concurrent threads.

    Leave partitioning disabled for small tenants. Each thread reads the identities assigned to it, so using too many partitions can increase the number of API requests.

  2. In Number of Partitioning Threads, enter a value from 1 through 4.

    Oracle Access Governance limits the tenant to four concurrent requests. Requests beyond this limit can receive a backoff of approximately 40 seconds. The connector does not use more than four threads, even if a higher value is entered.

  3. Select Save.

Provisioning Settings

Set how long SailPoint waits for Oracle Access Governance to finish an access request before it reports the request as failed.

Screenshot

Provisioning Settings field for Provisioning Retry Attempts

  1. In Provisioning Retry Attempts, enter how many times SailPoint checks an access request that Oracle Access Governance has not finished. Enter a value from 1 through 23. The default is 20.

    Checks run once an hour, so this value is how many hours an approver has before SailPoint reports the request as failed.

    Note

    The maximum is 23 because Oracle Access Governance no longer recognizes the earlier request after 24 hours. A later check would submit a duplicate request.

  2. Select Save.

For more information about how Oracle Access Governance completes requests, refer to Provisioning Behavior.

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.

SailPoint Application Onboarding

SailPoint application onboarding enables you to easily onboard new applications and create sources following the successful onboarding of a discovery source. To use this feature, continue to Discovered Applications in the SailPoint user interface.

For more information, refer to Application Onboarding in the SailPoint SaaS documentation.
