Onboarding and configuring applications (sources) in SailPoint IdentityIQ: schemas, correlation, aggregation and provisioning.

Quick answer

Onboarding and configuring applications (sources) in SailPoint IdentityIQ: schemas, correlation, aggregation and provisioning.

Key takeaways
  • Applications (sources) represent connected systems
  • Schemas define which account/group attributes are read
  • Correlation and aggregation bring data in
  • Provisioning policies and rules push changes back

What an application is

An application (source) represents a connected system such as AD, Workday or a database. It defines how IdentityIQ reads accounts and pushes changes.

Schema and attributes

Each application has account and group schemas describing the attributes to read. Correct schemas underpin aggregation, correlation and provisioning.

Correlation and aggregation

You configure how accounts correlate to identities and schedule aggregation to pull accounts and entitlements into IdentityIQ.

Provisioning settings

Provisioning policies, before/after rules and connector settings control how changes are written back to the target.
