The Role Mapping Administrator uses HSQLDB, a lightweight 100% Java SQL database, to store authorizations that it retrieves from the managed systems. This allows the Role Mapping Administrator to quickly display authorizations for mapping.
The managed system authorizations must be manually loaded into the database. You can select which authorizations you want loaded for each system connected through a supported Identity Manager driver. After the authorizations have been loaded into the database, authorizations must be manually refreshed to reflect any new authorizations in the managed systems.
Identity Manager roles are not stored in the Role Mapping Administrator database. The Role Mapping Administrator reads and displays the roles directly from the Identity Vault.
