XML downloads

Quick answer

Downloadable XML samples for roles, applications, rules and workflows you can import into IdentityIQ and adapt.

Key takeaways

  • Sample role/application/rule XML
  • Import-ready format
  • Adapt to your environment
  • Keep in source control

These downloadable XML samples are exported IdentityIQ objects, roles, applications, rules and workflows, that you can import into a lower environment as starting points and adapt to your own setup. They save you from building common objects from a blank page.

What you get

  • Sample role (Bundle) definitions
  • Application/connector configuration skeletons
  • Rule templates (correlation, build-map, provisioning)
  • Workflow shells for common processes

How to use them

Import each sample into a non-production environment first, change names and identifiers to match your setup (and check any object references), then promote through your normal deployment process. Keep the adapted versions in source control.

Common pitfalls

  • Importing straight to production without testing.
  • Leaving sample names/IDs that clash with your objects.
  • Breaking object references when editing.
