The NetIQ Audit (erstwhile Novell Audit) and Syslog Connectors facilitate integration between Identity Manager and Sentinel. The Audit Connector allows Sentinel to connect to Identity Manager via the Platform Agent. For more detailed information about the Audit Connector, see the Audit Connector documentation. The Syslog Connector is used to receive the XDAS messages that are sent by Identity Manager when XDAS is enabled.
You must have the Identity Manager Collector installed and configured before proceeding with the installation and configuration of Audit and Syslog Connectors.
