Monitoring
After the agent configuration you could check in the monitoring page if the service is running in the Synchronization Server, please go to:
Tasks
Authoritative
If you are checked "Authorized identity source", an automatic task to load identities from the managed system to Soffid is available, please go to:
And you will something like "Import authoritative data from <AGENT_NAME>".
Reconcile
If your are configured the "Attribute Mapping" tab with some of our objects: "user, account, role, group or grant", an automatic task to synchronize these objects from the managed system to Soffid is available, please go to:
And you will something like "Reconcile all accounts from <AGENT_NAME>".
Synchronization
About the synchronization of the objects, there are two possible options:
- If you are checked the generic attribute "Read Only" in the "Basics" tab, only the changes in the managed systems will be updated in Soffid. We recommend this options until the global configuration of Soffid will be tested.
- If you are not checked the generic attribute "Read Only" in the "Basics" tab, all the changes in Soffid or the managed system will be updated in the other. Note that this synchronization must be configured in the "Attribute mapping" tab correctly.
