Procedures included in SailPoint integration

1. Set Up:

We already know that SailPoint integrates with the help of privileged access manager licensing options. SailPoint also integrates with the method called SailPoint STI (simple table integration). SailPoint also uses port number 3306 for communications.

The steps involved are:

1. First go to the Privileged access manager -> then select the third point -> then choose “SailPoint”.

2. Now you need to enter the “Database user” and “Database password”, here you need to mention the password which is used for SailPoint configuration.

3. Now it’s time to set up the update interval -> so the Access privileged manager always checks for the incoming SailPoint data requests, and exports the relevant data to the SailPoint.

4. Enter at least one SailPoint server address. These addresses act as connections to perform SailPoint integration. This consists of a valid IP address, FQDN, and SailPoint configuration hostname.

5. Then click on the Save button to save the SailPoint configuration settings.

6. Click on the install button to set up the SailPoint table integration. Here the installation can be done only once at a time. This button will be enabled if the SailPoint is licensed and disable the installation button once you finish up the process.

7. Now select the Download which is stored in the Zip file to access the Privileged access manager application. Use this type of file during the time of configuration to integrate the SailPoint application. Now unzip the file and save the configuration set up, here the file type used is XML.

8. Use the Import button which is an optional step and privileged access manager to read the provisioning queues. Importing can be done automatically and also update the interval settings.

9. Here the export button is also an optional one and uses the privileged access manager to populate the SailPoint tables.

2. SailPoint configuration:

Before you performing integration with SailPoint, you need to install the below software,

4. Now choose the import option.

5. Then go to the application option, in that application definition -> select the CAPam application. This displays the Edit CAPam application page.

6. Select the configuration file.

7. Under settings enter the correction connection password ->this is not available in the form of XML file format.
