1.2 Data Transfers Between Systems

The driver supports data transfer on both the channels, the Publisher and the Subscriber channels.

The Publisher channel controls the data transfer as follows:

  • Reads events from the configured domains.

  • Submits that information to the Identity Vault.

The Subscriber channel controls the data transfer as follows:

  • Watches for the events from the Identity Vault objects.

  • Makes changes to Active Directory based on the event data.

You can configure the driver filter so that both Active Directory and the Identity Vault are allowed to update attribute(s). In this configuration, the most recent change determines the attribute value, except for merge operations that are controlled by the filters and the merge authority.
