A.0 Data Synchronization Flow

Identity Manager uses four main components to synchronize data between the Identity Vault and the connected system (external application).

  • The Identity Manager engine that provides the framework.

  • The Identity Manager policies that control the mapping of attributes and classes and the matching and creation of entries.

  • Event filters that control the direction of data synchronization.

  • The Identity Manager driver shim that serves as an interface between the application and the Identity Manager engine.

This section contains a brief explanation of the Identity Manager processes applied to data that flows between Identity Manager and the connected system.
