Configure organization data connections

Use the Data Model > Data Connections node to configure data connections that can synchronize specific data from an external source. Use organization data connections to synchronize organizational context and related existing organizational attributes.

Configuration

Field

Explanation and Tips

Properties tab

In the Data Source field, specify the Data Source that contains the external data that you want to synchronize.

Mappings tab

Specify which external data you want to synchronize and how.

  • In the Look up on field, specify the search method for organizational context in the external data.
  • In the Place in field, specify the organizational context in Ivanti Identity Director in which the synchronized data should be placed. Any organizational attributes related to this organizational context are also shown in the Property to set column.
    • You can only map to organizational attributes at this level, not to subitems.
    • You can only set the values of existing organizational attributes. To add new organizational attributes, you need to create them manually or synchronize with organizational attribute data connections.
  • In the Path separator field, specify the separator that is used in the external data. This field is only relevant if the data connection looks up on Name or Path + Name.
  • Select Ignore duplicates, Automatically create path, Allow updates and Allow deletes for additional synchronization options. This is particularly useful if you have synchronized the data connection before.
    • The options Allow updates and Allow deletes also apply to the values of the organizational attributes.

Diagnostics
