# Connecting SailPoint and Informatica

To connect SailPoint to the source, perform the following tasks:

## Adding and Configuring 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. Go to **Admin \> Connections \> Sources**.
2. Select **Create New**.
3. Search for a source type and select **Actions**.
4. In the **Actions** dropdown, 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](<https://documentation.sailpoint.com/connectors/help/credential_providers.html>). 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.

# Integrating SailPoint with Informatica

Informatica is a cloud-based data management platform designed to help organizations integrate, govern, and manage data across cloud and on-premises systems. It enables data integration, quality, cataloging, and governance to deliver trusted data for analytics, applications, and business insights.This document provides instructions to configure a new direct connection to an Informatica source. For a reference to the terminology specific to SailPoint products, refer to [Source and Connector Definitions](<https://documentation.sailpoint.com/saas/help/sources/index.html#source-and-connector-definitions>).

> [!NOTE]
>
> To view the latest features, enhancements, and fixes for all SaaS connectors, refer to the [SaaS Release Notes](<https://community.sailpoint.com/release-notes/saas>) page.

## Supported Features

The Informatica connector supports the following:

### Account Management

- Aggregate users

### Entitlement Management

- Aggregate userGroups
- Aggregate roles

> [!IMPORTANT]
>
> Quick Compliance connectors have the following manual aggregation limits within a 24-hour period:
>
> - **Organization Admins**: Limited to 3 manual account or entitlement aggregations per day per source. This limit is cumulative across all admins in the organization.
> - **Regular Users**: Limited to 1 manual account or entitlement aggregation per day per source.
>
> These limits ensure that individual compliance statuses are kept up to date while maintaining continuous compliance monitoring. If you need to run additional aggregations beyond these limits, contact SailPoint Support.

## Prerequisites

Ensure the following prerequisites are met before proceeding with the configuration:

- Informatica username.
- Informatica password.

## Resource Link

[Authentication and authorization](<https://docs.informatica.com/ipaas/api-portal/current-version/api-portal-guide/authentication-and-authorization.html>)

> [!NOTE]
>
> The linked document is not maintained by SailPoint and is subject to change without notice.

## Required Permissions

- Only an Organization Administrator (or equivalent administrative role) is authorized to use API credentials for this integration in Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services (IICS).
- The connector uses session-based authentication. The API user signs in with a username and password to obtain a session token (`INFA-SESSION-ID`), which is then used to call the Core v3 APIs for users, user groups, and roles.

# Schema Reference

The application schema is used to configure the objects returned from a connector.

> [!NOTE]
>
> - The **Account Schema** tab is used to define the attributes for each object type in the application being configured. The schema attributes can be defined as **Entitlement** or **Multi-Valued**. Refer to [Managing Source Account Schemas](<https://documentation.sailpoint.com/saas/help/accounts/schema.html>) for more information.
> - The schema attributes that are not present by [default](<#default-account-schema>) must be defined as strings if not specified.

The Informatica connector uses the following default correlation and object configurations.

## Default Account Schema

Each source supports a variety of details, or attributes, about each user who has an account, such as their name, email address, manager name, and location.

The set of account attributes each source stores and how they're organized is known as the account's *schema*. To best represent your data, you can configure sources to use an account schema matching the one you use in the external connector. Refer to [Managing Source Account Schemas](<https://documentation.sailpoint.com/saas/help/accounts/schema.html>) for more information.

### Default Account ID

SailPoint requires that certain attributes remain in your configuration. These attributes are referred to as *account IDs*.

> [!CAUTION]
>
> Changing the attribute marked as the account ID after aggregating accounts can result in duplicate accounts being created. To avoid this, either reset the accounts on this source before editing the account ID attribute or edit the account ID attribute before aggregating accounts.
>
> To resolve issues caused by changing account IDs, reconfigure them to their default values.

The following table lists the default account IDs for this connector:

| Account ID | Schema Object Type |
| --- | --- |
| id | User |
