Aggregation and Applications

A configured Application is the component that lets IdentityIQ communicate with an enterprise system. The enterprise system is the source of information about accounts and account groups, which will be read into IdentityIQ.

Applications use a system-specific connector type (such as JDBC, LDAP, Active Directory, Azure, Workday, etc.) to set up a connection to the system that is the source of the data. The configuration options are flexible; many elements of the configuration depend on the connector type, but they all have several things in common:

• Connection parameters – the information IdentityIQ needs in order to communicate with the data source. This typically includes a path to the data source and credentials for logging in/authenticating, but may include more.

• Account schema – how IdentityIQ defines and organizes the data that is being read in.

• Correlation logic – how IdentityIQ maps data from the source system to what is stored in IdentityIQ.
