SailPoint Connector examples: A Practical Guide

SailPoint Connector examples

Configuration examples for common connectors.

Quick answer

These examples show connector configuration patterns, schema mapping and correlation, for typical target systems.

Key takeaways

Schema mapping snippets
Correlation configuration
Provisioning operation setup
Adapt to your target

Connector configuration maps a target system schema to SailPoint and defines correlation and provisioning behaviour. These examples illustrate the configuration patterns conceptually.

Schema mapping

Decide which native attributes are the account identity, the display name, and the correlation key:

account.identityAttribute  = "distinguishedName"   # unique per account
account.displayAttribute   = "displayName"
correlation.key            = "employeeId"           # matches identity attribute

Entitlement attributes

Tell the connector which multi-valued attributes are entitlements to govern:

schema.entitlementAttribute = "memberOf"   # treat group membership as an entitlement

Guidance

Pick a stable correlation key that does not change.
Test correlation on a sample before full aggregation.
Confirm entitlement attributes aggregate as expected.

Common pitfalls

Correlating on a mutable attribute.
Missing entitlement mapping, so access is not governed.
Schema drift not reflected in the mapping.
