For more information, refer to the **Connection Settings** page. 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. ### Standard Setup Configure more detailed settings relative to Express Setup. 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. Here, continue to configure your connected source. ## 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 descriptive **Source Name** for the connection. 2. Enter the **Source Description** that provides details necessary to distinguish it from similar connection sources. 3. In **Source Owner**, begin typing the name of the source owner. 4. (Optional) Select the appropriate **Governance Group for Source Management** from the dropdown list. For more information about governance groups, refer to [Associating Governance Groups with a Source](). 5. Select **Create Manual Work Items** to enable the source to support additional source management features such as creating accounts and access profile management. > **Important** > > Once you enable this feature, it can't be disabled. For more information on manual work items, refer to [Work Items](). For more information on SailPoint features, refer to [SailPoint Identity Services](). 6. Select **Save**. ## Connection Settings Configure a secured, direct connection to the source. 1. Select an **Authentication Type**. By default, the connector uses Custom Authentication. 2. Enter the source's **Base URL**. For example, `https://api.redislabs.com/v1` 3. Enter the **Account Key** provided by the source. 4. Enter the **User Key (Secret Key)** to authenticate the Account Key. 5. Select **Save**. ## 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.

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. # Integrating SailPoint with Redis Redis Enterprise (Redis Cloud) is a fully managed, in-memory data platform that offers secure APIs for managing users and access roles. It enables centralized control of user access and permissions through RESTful APIs. This document provides step-by-step instructions to configure a new direct connection from SailPoint to the Redis source. For a reference to the terminology specific to SailPoint products, refer to [Source and Connector Definitions](). > [!NOTE] > > To view the latest features, enhancements, and fixes for all SaaS connectors, refer to the [SaaS Release Notes]() page. ## Supported Features The Redis connector supports the following: ### Account Management - Aggregates users > [!NOTE] > > Entitlement aggregation and provisioning are not supported in the current release. ## Prerequisites Ensure the following prerequisites are met before proceeding with the configuration: - You have a valid Redis Cloud **Account Key** and **User Key (Secret Key)**, which are required to authenticate REST API requests. ## Resources You can find the following in the Redis product documentation: - [Redis API Authentication]() - [Redis Cloud API]() > [!NOTE] > > The linked document is not maintained by SailPoint and is subject to change without notice. ## Required Permissions - The account key and user key (secret key) must belong to an account holder with appropriate privileges to access user information and access control. - Both keys must be valid and associated with the same account. # 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]() for more information. > - The schema attributes that are not present by [default](<#default-account-schema>) must be defined as strings if not specified. The Redis 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]() 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 | ### Default Account Attributes The Redis connector supports the following default account schema attributes and customer configurable attributes. The attributes must be defined as strings if not specified. | Attribute Name | Description | | --- | --- | | name | Full name of the user. | | email | Email address | | role | User’s access level or assigned role | | userType | Specifies whether the user is an admin, owner, or regular user. | | hasApiKey | Boolean flag indicating whether the user has an active API key. | | options.billing | Specifies if billing alerts are enabled for the user. | | options.emailAlerts | Indicates whether email alerts are turned on. | | options.operationalEmails | Determines if the user receives operational notifications. | | options.mfaEnabled | Boolean value indicating whether multi-factor authentication (MFA) is enabled. |
