Updating the CAMSync Service

This section provides information about the CAMSync service and the cloud access hints.

CAMSync Service

The cloud based search capability and cloud classifications rely on the new service CAMSync. The CAMSync service is responsible for synchronizing Cloud Access Management data into IIQ to enhance searching and classifications.

In a multi-server deployment, synchronization with the Cloud Access Management will only occur from the CAMSync service on one of the hosts. The active CAMSync service host will be chosen automatically, and automatic failover is supported.

As described in Configuration, the Initiate Events button under Gear menu > Global Settings > Cloud Access Management Configuration must be clicked once to initiate the flow from Cloud Access Management into IdentityIQ via the CAMSync service. All data from Cloud Access Management will be received, and future changes to the data will then arrive upon occurrence. However, for unusual circumstances, an additional click on the Inititate Events button can be done to force a full refresh of all data from Cloud Access Management again.
