Reconfiguring an Application

The application reconfiguration option enables you to change the application type without losing history associated with the application or having to create a new application. For example, if you first deployed your instance of IdentityIQ using a flat file connection, but now want to use some of the more advance features, such as provisioning. The type defines the way in which IdentityIQ connects to the application.

Application types that have the same value format for identity and group attributes in the original and reconfigure target are best suited for reconfiguration.

The following application types can be reconfigured:

Note: Even in the following scenarios, there might be some connectors that do not re-configure correctly. See Application Reconfiguration Considerations.

• Delimited file to the corresponding direct connector (Delimited File to Active Directory – Direct)

• JDBC connector to corresponding direct connector (JDBC to Oracle Applications – Direct)

• Agent based connector to direct connector (Active Directory – Full to Active Directory – Direct)

• To a rewritten connector for better performance or more functional support (Google Apps – Direct)
