- If the connector is enabled, an enabled connector icon is displayed. If the connector is enabled, it is ready to run.
- The channel mode of the connector. A channel is the logical representation of the communication
path that can be established between the Access Governance Core
module (through a specific connector) and a generic target system. Three channel modes are
available, represented as:
- Write To
- The Write To channel is used to send data from the Access Governance Core repository to a target system.
- Read From
- The Read From channel that used to import data from a target system into the Access Governance Core repository.
- Reconciliation
- Reconciliation is used to realign data that for some reason was changed in a target system with the data that is recorded in the Access Governance Core repository.
- The Change Log Sync function is used to synchronize data between an Identity Brokerage target system and the change log.
A connector can operate in any or all of these modes, depending also on its type. The modes that are enabled for a connector are marked by the enabled connector icon .
- Add
- Adds a connector so that you can configure a specific driver for setting a communication channel between a target system and Identity Governance and Intelligence.
- Remove
- Removes the selected connector configuration. Select an option, and click
OK.
- Remove the connector only.
- Removes the connector and the change log (if it exists). The accounts and groups in the target are not affected.
- Remove the connector and its application and account configuration.
- Removes the connector, the change log (if it exists), and all of the entitlements and accounts in the application.
- Import
- Imports a connector configuration from an XML file.
- Import example
- Imports an example connector configuration from an XML file.
- Export
- Exports a selected connector configuration as an XML file.
