Unstructured Targets Tab
Unstructured target information is used to define unstructured data sources from which the connector is to extract data. Unstructured data is any data that is stored in a format that is not easily readable by a machine. For example, information contained in an Excel spread sheet, the body of an email, a Microsoft Word document, or an HTML file is considered unstructured data. Unstructured targets pose a number of challenges for IdentityIQ connectors, because not only is the data stored in a format that is hard to extract from, the systems and directory structures in which the files reside are often difficult to access.
The most common unstructured data type supported by IdentityIQ is an operating system's file system permissions.
This target collector requires a the IdentityIQ Service to be installed on a machine that has visibility to the directory or share to include in the target scan.
The unstructured targets defined on this tab are used by the Target Aggregation task to correlate targets with permissions assigned to identities and account groups for use in certifications.
Each of the Target Source Types require unique details or attributes for their configuration, but share some basic information.
The Unstructured Targets tab contains the following basic information for each of the Target Source Types:
Name
The name of this unstructured target configuration.
Description
A brief description of this configuration.
Rules
Specify the rules used to transform and correlate the targets.
Note: Click the [...] icon to launch the Rule Editor to make changes to your rules if needed.
Creation Rule
The rule used to determine how the unstructured data extracted from data source is transformed into data that can be read by IdentityIQ.
Correlation Rule
The rule used to determine how to correlate account information from the application with identity cubes in IdentityIQ.
Provisioning Action
The provisioning action used to pass information to the affected applications.
