Adding a connector

Edit online

After you import the adapter profile on the Verify Governance server, add a connector so that Verify Governance server can communicate with the managed resource.

Before you begin

Complete Importing the adapter profile.
Note: If you migrated from Verify Governance V5.2.2 or V5.2.2.1 and want to add or configure a connector, see Adding and configuring a connector for each target in the IBM Security Verify Governance product documentation.

About this task

The connectors consolidate, extract, and reconcile user identities, organization units, permissions, and user entitlements with the most common enterprise applications. Configure a connector to keep the Access Governance Core repository synchronized with the target system.

This task can be completed from the Enterprise Connectors module in the Administration Console.

Procedure

To add a connector, complete these steps.

  1. Log in to the Verify Governance Administration Console.
  2. From the Administration Console, select Enterprise Connectors.
  3. Select Manage > Connectors.
    A list of connectors is displayed on the Connectors tab.
  4. Optional: Click Filter to toggle the filter on to refine your search results, or click Hide Filter to toggle the filter off. When the filter is visible, you can specify search criteria for your requests, and then click Search.
  5. Optional: To view all of the columns in the list of connectors, expand the Connectors pane.
  6. Click Actions > Add.
    The Connector Details pane is enabled for your input.
  7. On the Connector Details tab, complete these steps:
    1. Assign a name and description for the connector.
    2. Select the target profile type as Identity Brokerage and its corresponding target profile.
    3. Select the entity, such as Account or User.
      Depending on the connector type, this field might be preselected.
    4. Optional: Select Trace ON and the corresponding Trace Level to enable trace logs.
      The available trace levels are DEBUG, INFO, and ERROR.
    5. Optional: Select History ON to save and track the connector usage.
    6. Click Save.
      The fields for enabling the channels for sending and receiving data are now visible.
    7. Select and set the connector properties in the Global Config accordion pane.
      For information about the global configuration properties, see Global Config accordion pane.
    8. Click Save. The fields for enabling the channels for sending and receiving data are now visible.

Results

The connector is saved and added to the list of connectors in the Connectors pane.

If you cannot create a connector with the target profile or open an account on an existing connector, the target profile was not installed correctly during the import. You must import the target profile again.

What to do next

Enable the channel modes to synchronize the data between the target systems and Verify Governance. For more information, see Enabling connectors.
