Connect Soffid syncserver to your on-premise network

Description

In order to manage your information system, a component named Sync Server must be installed along with Soffid Console. You must choose one platform as your Sync Server Soffid host and follow the instructions.

Once you have run the corresponding scripts, Soffid will detect the new Sync server. You could check the new Sync server on the Synchronization servers page.

Step-by-step

1. Platform

First, you must select the platform.

The hostname:port used in the following commands is generated to these rules: it uses the soffid.externalURL parameter, if this does not exit, it uses the AutoSSOURL parameter, if this does not exit, Soffid tries to generate the hostname:name.

To upgrade the syncserver proxy version, follow the instructions at the following link: Upgrade syncserver proxy

1.4.2 Docker compose

We can also use the Docker URL in a docker compose file.

This is the template to use in your docker-compose.yaml file.

services:

  syncserver-proxy:
    image: soffid/iam-sync:4.0.50
    hostname: syncserver-proxy
    environment:
      SOFFID_CONFIG: 'DOCKER-URL-COPIED-FROM-WIZARD'
    networks:
      - network
    volumes:
      - syncserver-proxy-conf:/opt/soffid/iam-sync/conf

networks:

  network:
    name: network
    driver: bridge

volumes:

  syncserver-proxy-conf:
    name: syncserver-proxy-conf

To update the proxy version on the synchronisation server, simply update the syncserver version and redeploy the container.

Here is some further information on Docker Compose commands.

2. Confirmation

Finally, Soffid will detect that the Sync Server has been successfully installed and you can click the Finish button.
