Introduction

The Verify Bridge provides capability to manage on premises targets(like Active Directory, LDAP, Oracle etc) from IBM® Verify.

The main connection between the Verify Bridge and the IBM Verify tenant employs either an HTTP or an HTTPS Long-Poll. This connection is initiated by the Verify Bridge and requires an authorized access token which the Bridge obtains during startup and refreshes periodically. After the long-poll connection is established, traffic flows from Verify to the Verify Bridge.
