Connectors and applications

Applications in ISVG-GOV are entities related to target endpoints.

Overview

Read more about ISVG applications here.

To connect to the endpoints, applications use connectors associated with an Event Marker. These applications and connectors in IGI can be mapped to "Services" in IVIG. Thus applications can be exported from IGI and imported into IVIG as services. However this is applicable only for "Identity Brokerage" type of connectors in ISVG-Gov. The other applications like custom applications, feed connectors etc. would have to be manually created in IVIG since the data model for these types of entities in ISVG and IVIG is different.

Identity Brokerage connectors

The details of connectors corresponding to different applications are retrieved from IGI using "igi.service.sql.ib-connectors" property in igisql.properties. These are the connectors of type "Identity Brokerage" only. Before loading this exported data into IVIG, it is required to upload the corresponding service profile to IVIG (whose details can be obtained from Service types report). It is recommended to use the same profile that was used in ISVG to upload to IVIG. If there are any changes in the profiles being uploaded to both the products, these differences must be specified in mapping.properties file. See mapping.properties file for more details.

Application configurations

Below are the different types of application configurations related to applications which can be extracted from IGI.

Profile types: The service types in IGI are retrieved based on the different service/connector profiles available in the ISVG system. This is configurable using "igi.service.sql.profiles" property in igisql.properties. This report gives an insight to plan about the number of profile types and its details which need to be uploaded into IVIG.
Non IB connectors: The connectors other than "Identity Brokerage" type are all captured in this report. The query for property "igi.service.sql.nonib-connectors" in igisql.properties can be customized as per requirement too. This report can specify details about other connectors, such as, different feed types, DB, LDAP, CSV etc. The customer can then use those details to plan creating similar entities in IVIG manually.
Applications: The applications in IGI managed from AGC - Manage - Applications panel are exported using the "igi.service.sql.applications" property in igisql.properties. This too can be customized as per requirement. Please find more details about applications in ISVG here.
