The following components provide integration of the core products to increase the benefits you receive:
Identity Manager Driver for Sentinel and the Identity Vault Collector: The Identity Manager Driver for Sentinel (Sentinel driver) and the Identity Vault collector gather identity information for use by Sentinel. The Sentinel driver and the Identity Vault Collector work with many different systems.
In some systems, its possible for a single user account to be identified in multiple ways. For example, a Microsoft* Active Directory* account can be identified by its SAM account name (jsmith), its user's principal name (jsmith@company.com), and its LDAP distinguished name (cn=John Smith,cn=users, dc=company, dc=com). The Identity Manager Driver for Active Directory gathers these account identifiers and stores them on an Identity Vault user account that is associated with the Active Directory account. The Sentinel driver sends the identity information to the Identity Vault collector. Whenever an Active Directory event occurs that contains one of the identities, the Identity Vault collector injects the common identity (Identity Vault user identity) into the event so that events tracked through any of the identities are correlated with a single user in Sentinel views and reports.
For more information about the Sentinel driver and the Identity Vault collector, see the Identity Manager 3.6.1 Driver for Sentinel 6.1 and the Identity Vault Collector Implementation Guide.
Identity Tracking Solution Pack: The solution pack provides controls (views and reports) of events associated with users. Through these controls, you can monitor and report on account management activities (creation, deletion, and modification); suspicious user activities such as failed authentication, denied access, denied or increased account privileges, and impersonated account logins; account usage by users; and password management activities. Because of the identity injection provided by the Sentinel driver and Identity Vault collector, events are associated to individual users.
